this family missions experience
has legs....
our dominican experience
will find us
teaching
visiting
working in a library
and with church youth
i will admit that my
worldly self
feels afraid and weary
reading the itinerary
but
isaiah reminds us
that the almighty
will not grow weary
and my son hank sings
these words....
i wanna run in your
freedom
so even though
this stepping out is scary
and
even though
this stepping out is exhausting
the mighty one
is never
afraid
and
never
weary
and i'll run in that freedom!

You are brave with the courage of the Lord, Kendal. And equipped with all his strength in your weakness. You inspire.
ReplyDeletePraying blessings on your sons' music project and the upcoming work you'll be doing to spread love.
Oh, the Shenandoah Valley... It's simply beautiful!

ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, what a talented family you are! I am in awe of missions like the one you describe and I will be praying for you, sweet friend. How brave you are.
ReplyDeleteDude! I almost missed this post, and then I wouldn't have known you were selling CDs for your trip. Hello, you need to run this part of the post again. I am a slack reader and others are too. Count me in. Don't send it to me. I'll get it from at the next Dripolator meet up.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting all this working together business.
