The Purpose of His Plan!

We met a Canadian Mennonite man in the lounge of our hotel in Chicago this week. He was very kind, and of course asked the question that opened a can bigger than we presume he was expecting, "What do you do?" What a fun question for a missionary to answer because it is the perfect introduction to the gospel! After telling him what God has called our family to do, he looked at us in utter disbelief and said, "I respect you and the courage you must have to take your family to a foreign nation and live there indefinitely." We told him we could not do it without the grace, power and hope we have from our sovereign God. When we found out Hannah is pregnant, we couldn't believe it, and the question entered our minds, "Why now God?" We know that every detail of our lives is directed by the sovereignty of God, EVERY detail. He is also the creator of life, this new life growing by leaps in bounds inside of Hannah giving her substantial discomfort. Without this underlying and foundational scriptural principle, the clarity in which we view the world would become easily clouded and ultimately overwhelming. God has a plan for every moment of your day too, let's rest in Him moment by moment together!
