Obscurity

Obscurity marks journeys of the faithful. 

Not planned, necessarily. 

Or wanted. 

But purposeful in the work and way of the Lord.

Crossing Cultures Memoir

Unexpected surrender

Unexpected surrender started with an invitation. Out of the blue. To consider a role in the U.S. 

And our immediate thought? No. Can’t be right. Our calling is cross-cultural. Among the nations. 

Besides, we weren’t ready to leave South Asia and her people. The place had wrestled its way into our hearts.

Then another ask came. To focus on megacities in South Asia. Surely that’s the one, we thought. Fits our heart and skill set. New city. Same area of the world.

Full light of Day

Stepping out into early morning air. First breath of dawn. Stillness. 

Sky somewhere between dark and light.  

Not even visible. Yet. But all creation anticipates the all-out glory of what’s coming. 

Streetlights dim. Even the moon and stars fade. At the certain, steady rise of God’s sun.

Full light of day is coming.
