Thought du jour

It's been quite a week. I was planning on going on a missions trip, then after a great deal of discussion with Mark decided to put it off until later this year and hopefully I'll go later with folks from our church. I want more people to have this experience, to catch the excitement of ministry on speed (this is the term I have coined for mission work in Honduras). A bit disappointing, but I will be praying as the work continues. In spite of my disappointment I am excited for the future. I am excited that Morgan is struggling with things like Theology and questioning what she believes and why she believes it. Blindly following without ever questioning is dangerous. It is how cults can "brainwash" people. We should always be working through scripture, wrestling with why we believe what we do. More people who occupy the pews of the church should be doing that. I never really understand why things happen the way that they do, but there is always a reason. Always. I guess this week's blurb is just about a bit of disappointment (for my own selfish reasons-missing the trip to Honduras), excitement for Morgan's provision and learning. I can't be too disappointed because the Lord's work always goes on. I am grateful no matter what my circumstances and situation because I know that God has it in control. I'm just along for the ride!
