there's a suitcase on the floor,
open
there's a suitcase on the floor,
ghana-bound
and
i
am
to
go
with it
to meet a land and church i've met
in
picture
and
scripture
but not with my eyes
but not with my heart
there's a suitcase on the floor,
open
and
i'm packing
toiletries-for-give-away
little people cars for a little man
four pairs of shoes for justincase
three pounds of oreos
my journal-by-jenny (with joseph talking points)
and
when i close that suitcase
i'll leave out
anxiety
because God's word-living-and-active
says
and the Lord was with
enough times for
me
to
believe
My husband, Chris, my son, Jack, and I are headed to Ghana for ten days of teaching, sharing and playing. We covet your prayers!
How is your summer shaping up?

I love the idea of paying attention not only to what you're packing in to your suitcase, but specifically what you're packing out. I'm going to have to consider that in the future!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!!! I feel like a little piece of me is going with you!! This will be such a special trip! Sending my love and prayers with you!! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!
ReplyDeleteClose that suitcase,...
ReplyDeleteWill be praying for you. Proud of you for pushing through fears. God is with you, yes! I'm teaching Joseph to 3&4 year olds this Sunday. We have much to learn from his life don't we. All of us. Love you.
