Just a thought or two...

Reflection on Lou's last post (since I tried twice to comment):

When the head doctor at Satellite Med where my mom works (and now I do too) found out about what happened, he cried out to God. He asked where God was when this happened to His precious child serving him on the mission field. God condescended to give this reply: I WAS there; I kept her alive.

I know this to be true. I've never prayed harder in my life as I did that night. He kept me calm and gave me the fight I needed. I don't know what his purposes are with regards to this....but I'm banking on the fact that he is God. His purposes are so much bigger than me. If I have to sacrifice...a lot...for his global redemption of peoples of every nation, if I have to realize he accomplishes his purposes without my help..., if I have to lose many valuable and intangible parts of me for his greater good, then I have no choice but to say, Yes, Lord.
