It happened again!

I was somewhere between St. Louis and Knoxville yesterday when the thought crossed my mind: "is this really my life?" There I was driving down the freeway, listening to worship music, sitting next to my first Haitian friend-who is now my husband on our way to visit a church that has sent multiple teams to encourage pastors in Haiti through Praying Pelican Missions and it just felt unreal. I thought about pinching myself to see if I was dreaming, but since I was driving I didn't think it was a good idea. This was not the first time the thought had crossed my mind and it won't be the last--I am sure.

The last week and a half, Al and I have been in every time zone there is in the lower 48 states. We have driven from Minnesota to Washington to Montana to Colorado to Tennessee...so far. The purpose behind the trip wasn't to see the far corners of the US, though we have seen a couple of those, the point of our driving around was to connect with and visit our dear friends and prayer warriors and share with churches opportunities to partner with us.

My brain can't quite comprehend this reality of living a life so full of love, ministry, and faith. Who am I to live this life? Who am I to serve the Lord? How blessed I am to be a child of God. How blessed I am to be a member of this family. This Body of Christ.

As we were sharing with the church this morning it happened again. "Is this really my life?" Yes. It is. And I am part of this Body of Christ that crosses states and nations! As we continue on this journey, please be praying the God's will be done in our lives. And that He is glorified in us.
