Crossing Cultures Memoir

Arrivals and departures

Arrivals and departures. Travel patterns of individuals. Families. Groups.   

People of various languages and cultures and ethnicities. In the ebb and flow through airports. 

Walking the halls. Rushing from one terminal to another.

Or sitting. Wandering. Sleeping. 

While they wait.

Fragments

Fragments of divided hearts scatter. In the winds of social media. 

Bits and pieces of pride. Rebellion. Hate. Anger. 

And the very avenues that can draw people together, turn and twist. Break trust. Splinter relationships. 

Slander and gossip crowd in.

Calculated deception. 

Articulated for the very purpose of division and destruction.

Trust in the Lord

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart….” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

All? Yes, all. Not the part. But the whole.

“Search me, O God and know my heart…” (Psalm 139:23-24)  And He does. Revealing hidden chambers. Locked tight. Corners where I hold fast to self-reliance. Secrets. Pride. Fear.

Can I trust Him with even these?  Yes.

He will make your paths straight. Image by Thomas WIllmott, Unsplash.
