We are so excited to be returning to Dondo, to reconnect and to pray and encourage our brothers and sisters in Mozambique!
That also means that we will be leaving our brothers and sisters here in the states. That's the tough part of this "Best Job Ever".
It really is the "Best Job Ever",yet we hate to refer to it as a job, as it doesn't feel like work! To be in the Lord's presense and seeking His will for our lives, that is not work, it's called being blessed!
It is difficult to say goodbye, and it feels like that's what we're always doing, saying goodbye.
We learned at Missionary Training International, that you have to have a "good" goodbye, so that you can have a "healthy" hello.
It makes sense... how can your hello be truly healthy if you're dwelling on goodbyes that weren't positive and encouraging?
So, as we've been busy checking off our to-do list and packing and visiting and praying for wisdom, we have also been asking God to help us shine His light through us as we say "good" goodbyes.
We pray that they will be "Glorious, Godly" goodbyes, and that we will bless all of you who bless our lives!
Thank you for your love and support and "good" goodbyes!
Proverbs 2: 1-11
1 My child, listen to what I say,
and treasure my commands.
2 Tune your ears to wisdom,
and concentrate on understanding.
3 Cry out for insight,
and ask for understanding.
4 Search for them as you would for silver;
seek them like hidden treasures.
5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord,
and you will gain knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord grants wisdom!
From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.
He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.
8 He guards the paths of the just
and protects those who are faithful to him. 9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair,
and you will find the right way to go.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will fill you with joy.
11 Wise choices will watch over you.
Understanding will keep you safe.
We have all we need right here in His word, Thank you Jesus! Lord willing we will see you all in October!
and you will find the right way to go.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will fill you with joy.
11 Wise choices will watch over you.
Understanding will keep you safe.
