I've had quite a bit of time to think this summer. It's been pretty quiet as I build airplanes and change diapers. As long as the people next to me are working instead of speaking Cambodian across the table, and as long as the baby isn't crying. I've had a lot of time to think, and I've been thinking about a lot of things. I've been thinking about a lot of people on whom I don't usually have time to dwell. Geianna. Kaela. Irvin. Alicia. Kristy. Uncle. Maria. Steven. Sarim. Linah. Faith. Esther. Isabel.
I have been realizing that I will probably never stop crying for some things. And I have been realizing that I will probably never stop rejoicing and breaking out into overflowing laughter over other things. I'm learning that I will never reach the end of the hope that is in Christ. And I'm learning how badly we need His hope. How desperately the world is thirsting for Him, and they don't even know it. How desperately they are fighting to be heard, and they don't know the God who promises to hear our prayers.
Lord, give me wisdom to know how to bring the truth of your hope to the world at my hands. Help me to know you more and to believe the truth of your Gospel daily. Let words spill out which shed light to this darkened world. You have conquered evil, and you have given freedom. Use me to spread the hope of this treasure.
