Gates

Gates. I love a good gate.

Carefully carved and crafted. 

Designed for beauty and strength. 

Providing entry or denying access.

Unfinished

In the tapestry God weaves on this “go and make disciples” journey,  threads don’t always come together like I imagine they will.

Unfinished. Conversations sometimes unraveling. Quiet dismissals.  

And me, stumbling through. Weak.

Wondering if I’m saying it in a way they can understand.

Jonah

God gives him an assignment and Jonah runs. In the opposite direction.

Sails away on the next ship.

Hiding. 

From the all-seeing, all-knowing. God of the universe. 

Jonah’s disobedience rocks the boat. Impacts those around him. Striking terror in the hearts of men. 

They see what the Maker of heaven and earth can do.
