Sent

Sent ones. Sowing seeds of the gospel. 

Serving all across South America. For many, many years. 

In 2022, we travel to Chile. 

On our journey, we meet Chilean brothers and sisters in Christ. And hear stories. Testifying to the fruit of these servants who sowed seeds years ago and planted their lives. 

For the glory of God.

Light

Light. I don’t truly consider its absence. Until one memorable experience. During middle school. 

Our family is in America on stateside assignment at the time. And touring historic sites or natural wonders across several states. 

Then, one day, we’re standing in a large cave. 

Lights all around.

Until someone turns them off.

Pause

Pause in the afternoon.

Fix a small teapot of darjeeling. Or steep ginger herbal tea in porcelain cups. 

The simple cultural practice learned in other lands remains in my life today. 

Taking time. Away from chores and computer and concerns.  Sitting quietly or visiting with a friend.

Daily pause. To breathe.
