A little bit more than six months..... I began six months ago writing on this blog, committing to do so every day. I have failed a day or two, but most often I have been diligent in so doing. Some days I listen to the Spirit and I know exactly what I need to write. Other days, I sit and ponder what lesson I have learned, what obstacle I have to overcome, and what is currently in front of us trying to block our vision toward the end goal.
I went back to the first blog I posted on June 9. I am including with this blog a statement I made in that blog. I have not really understood what a blog is, but that sweet whispering to my soul has motivated and pushed me to start a countdown to when Bonnie and I have been married for 40 years, and soon thereafter head out to the mission field to serve the Lord. I guess that is the bottom line for this blog.
I have to keep that in front of me to remind me the "whys" of this blog. That same whispering has been in my mind urging me to write every day. Now we have counted down half the distance of this journey and we have learned many things. There is still a long way to go to realize this dream. But we are half way to our mission, to number 40!
I have added new goals, minimized some others, postponed some, and continue striving to realize some. We have seen the Lord's hand in our life many times during this six months. We have seen miracles, people change, circumstances change, health improve, finances stretch to bridge gaps, new insights brought into mind, etc.
Our commitment is just as strong, if not stronger today than it was six months ago. I am beginning to see "visions" about our mission, being with my lovely companion and serving Him who we love, meeting fellow saints who live in another country, and introducing others to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What a joy to imagine such a dream come true. Six months, plus a few days, and we will arrive at our 40th anniversary.
