At every debrief, we have the opportunity to share stories about the month and tell about our experiences. A part of me likes doing this … since we are separated most of the time, it is good to hear what has happened and get an update from the teams. Another part of me, however, really doesn’t like doing this. For me, I don’t really care what happened during the month. After all, our eyes only see so much … we might have had a low quota month in “happenings” and the Lord might have done some powerful things that we did not see. And vice-versa, lots of “cool” stuff could have happened in our eyes, but the Lord might not have ever been in it at all.
The one thing I do know … is that the Lord is in love. Where there is love, God is present.
So instead of the usual “What happened this month?” question, I so desperately want to begin asking “Who did you LOVE this month?” Show me the faces of those you loved. Tell me the names of those who have a piece of your heart.
As the Race and the year wraps up, I am overwhelmed by the amount of incredible people and beautiful little ones that I have met along my way.
These are the faces that I have loved.
There are bits of me all over the world now. And there are bits of the world that will forever be in me. I thank the Lord for this journey.
Love.
