Signs that tell how far I'll be from home.
Signs that tell me my role.
Signs that tell me where I am.
But I have been noticing other types of signs also.
Signs of a soft heart.
As I look at the people around me I am noticing things:
Tear-filled eyes during prayer.
The insightful remark into another's life.
A timely encouragement.
Humility in leadership.
A thoughtful response.
Undying trust in a good God amidst immense pain.
These are the signs that I am rejoicing in!
During these long days of training God is teaching me so much through the stories and the hearts of our teachers (and among my other "missionaries in training"). The Spirit of God shines so strongly through the lives of men and women who live surrendered and vulnerable lives. I am so humbled to be a part of this, and long to have MY life marked by a soft heart.
QUICK UPDATE: The tickets have been purchased and the visa acquired! I leave for Bolivia July 31st and arrive one day before teacher orientation begins. I especially covet your prayers during this time of packing, leaving, and traveling.
