~~~~ My da ge wrote a few days ago commenting on leadership. To read this brought my heart joy, for it is the same as I spoke to dachii, who was complaining for a decline in his administrative sense of leadership. Patience, I spoke to him, for leadership is born in humility that looks not to the strength of men, but to a heart that seeks to cleave endlessly to God. He pours His favour on those who would have Him, for if one seeks, one cannot help but be filled, and others cannot help but be drawn to know more about Christ who lives in us and follow. Da ge is right, God looks for humility, then annoints those He chooses.
It's been almost a month now since I've updated this site! Each day holds so many things to pray over one is thankful for a relationship with You to start the day with.
Oh the joy, to see what has so patiently been tended bear fruit! Through the obedience of those close to Your heart, You have raised for Yourself a host of hungry hearted sec 4s, now ripe and eager to know You, willing to act in simple faith! You have sent a bangladeshi for our harvester. =)Already the thirsty search, and the hungry come to be fed. Those who have You reach out to others, and they pray for one another. Your love is beautiful, and my brothers shall be a testimony of it. Father I know You are pleased. I am thankful for dachii, the life of my younger brother, which You instructed I must pour myself into, for now he pours himself into others, and he will reap for you twofold, then fivefold, then tenfold. Oh Lord, what a journey it has been, through the valley of the shadow of death and out again! It was your plan, for me to broken as bread on his account, and not on account of all, that your workers shall be multiplied.
Your strategy surpasses the learned wisdom of man,
you will use the humble hearted who have made You their only surety.
Praise God!
For now my eyes are on other things. A recent painful severance with one dearly loved has brought many other things to the eye with greater clarity. I have peace. It is in His hands. I am alone but not lonely, for my Saviour is always close by, and I know He watches also over the one I love.
There are other sec 4s, in particular 4 or 5 more that I am burdened to see secure in Him. Dachii shall be on his learning curve here. It will be a time of much joy in his life.
There are times when I ponder at my involvement with the boys. I have not done anything against the peace which guards my heart, and yet I cannot call this anything except discipleship. For did Christ not teach his disciples through what life brought to them as they lived it out beside Him? Charles is uncomfortable with the idea, and I agree in principle, but I must still do as He instructs, and as my peace bids. I will, at the very least, model what seeking and having Him is like. Christ must always be a reality to all who cross my path, they shall not leave me without being challenged by His reality or relevance to them.
