Here In Between
Tonight my team leaders, Amanda and Mariah, will be headed to LAX from Santa Barbara to fly out to El Salvador at 2:50am tomorrow morning. My dear friend, Susanna, and I were able to pray over Mariah just a few minutes ago. We were reminded that God is already there in El Salvador. He has gone before us, and we trust that he will be near and present with the two as they go ahead of the team.
My last week here in Santa Barbara has been a time of reflection and anticipation. It's that strange period of "in-betweenness." I've just ended my second year at college, and while attempting to gather my thoughts about this past semseter, I feel as though I'm moving closer and closer to beginning another definite chapter. Last night while packing, I wished time could be paused if only for a few hours. Then I would have a moment to sit and think about what this past year has been and what summer may be. It's difficult to end the year, tie of loose ends, make sure friendships aren't left haggard, and contact people from home when there's much to think about.
Perhaps tonight I'll have time to sit down with God and read through the two journals I've filled over the past year. Right now, I am at peace about traveling. I'm one who doesn't know how to worry healthfully, if there is such a thing. So I've left worrying about the unknown details in God's hands.
If there is anything I am absolutely sure about in this moment, it is these two things. 1) I have a rich heritage of those who fear His name (Psalm 61.5), and 2) I have a rich inheritance for I am determined to work with all my heart, as working for the Lord and not for men (Colossians 3.23-24).
Thank you for your prayers.
“Devote yourselves to prayer being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” -Colossians 4.2-6
Peace,
Trin
