empty skies

Empty skies. In the days following 9/11/2001. The flight pattern over our home in Virginia—suddenly silent.  

My husband was traveling in West Africa at the time. He called and I wept. We felt the distance in the midst of uncertainty. 

Our world changed that day, but we drew near to the One who never changes. Held on to His Word. And Joshua 1:9 became our family verse during that season.

“Haven’t I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Discontent

Open door

Over the years. In various cultures. Conversations over tea build friendships. And open doors. 

Our exchange moves from common everyday themes to the topic most essential. 

And dearest to my heart. 

Jesus.
