All of us, including so many bags it was staggering, piled into the van with a prayer of blessing and darkness surrounding us we pulled away from FT on what I know is going to be a life changing adventure, for all of us. As the drive began at 4am the anticipation and excitement began to become almost overwhelming. Sleep was varied and intermingled with prayers and the what ifs. God has done so many miracles to get all of us to this point. That fact alone makes me ponder the love of God and the absolute vastness of it. Surely He is a great big loving God and in Him we already have the victory.
God is such an amazing Creator. As I write this at 38,000 feet in the air with a wonderfully melodic, beautiful serenade of languages and cultures swirling all around and one of the most beautiful sunsets just outside my tiny window. The beautiful backdrop of dark blue fading into teal then into the yellow and just a touch of orange, barley visible at the lowest point of the horizon is enough to take my breath away. Then as a beacon in that vast blue is one bright, beaming star, yet that one bright star God has named and knows exactly the location of the one star. He knows because He created it and called it into being.
Now, as night takes over the sky I am reminded over and over, how much more precious we are to Him than that star. For such a time as this, we are here because that is His plan.
Thank you for all of your prayers, God is already moving.
