I’m continuously reminded of the lack of permanence of anything in this life other the Lord and his gracious provision within that.
The thing I hold most dear in my heart next to Jesus, is my passport. I am so careful in making sure I protect it by any means necessary. I literally hide it all the time in case someone comes in and steals all my stuff. #paranoid
That time when I thought I lost my passport before I left for this trip
But now for the 2nd time during a trip, I cannot find my passport. Like last time, I found myself asking the Lord to help me find it but it still has not turned up. When this happened last time, my dad had conveniently just sent me some money right as I realized I need to get a new one. This week my dad also sent me some money just as I again realized that I could not find my passport. #provision
I know that once I fully accept the loss of my passport, I will definitely cry and mourn the loss of it and then I know it will be ok, and apply for a new one so that I can go to our next country. #thailand
Me dying in a bus station in Thailand in 2012…I would lose my passport a few days later.
I often wonder what the Lord will continue to allow me to lose as I walk with him and whether in even greater loss and significant persecution, I will still be able to say with all of my being, that…
“…indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.”
