Well, it's been more than two weeks since we expected our little one to join us on the outside, and still we wait. Things are well, and we are well. This time has given us occasion to reflect on the LORD in several ways. We realize that in His perfect timing, He will bring about this child's birth as well as our subsequent move. We were hoping for a certain time frame, but we must wait for a bit longer.
After so much waiting for the time to venture back out into the mission field, it seems a bit torturous to wait still more. All told, it's probably just a few extra weeks, but this time of waiting has been challenging at times, wondering if all is well with baby and when things will happen. But again, there is the certainty that it will all come together in due time.
Rom 8:28 - "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."
We are firmly convinced of the Lord's call on our lives, not just in salvation, but also specifically to serve Him in the Gospel and the ministry of His Word to people in Edmonton. So, while we know that our timing is not His, we can also trust that, because He is perfect, our time of departure here and our arrival there are going to be just right. There are many pieces to this picture, and the Lord is the only one who sees them all. Our job is to know Him and continue to wait patiently, hoping in Him.
