Beating moments

I thank God for all the moments that Logan and I have had: happy, sad, confusing, weighty, mundane, profound, full, weak, disturbing, contented, deep, overwhelming, light-hearted....ALL of them God has seen and been with us through. I don't think I have ever experienced such a broad spectrum of moments in my life! Uganda has given me moments so profound, I don't know how to explain them. Also, I have had moments, days even, that have felt so ordinary that I forget where I am. All I know is that these days have changed my life and I thank God for the privilege I have had to live them. His Spirit is living, breathing, and drawing people constantly, and I feel freshly awakened and sensitive to it. I am suddenly hungry for those moments, however slight and small they may be. My boys are the biggest brats you have ever known, but the gospel is changing them. I see it, slowly. Softening, pruning, breaking, restoring them. Its beautiful. Some are still tough and hard as nails, but I won't stop sharing with them. There is no life within me, apart from Christ's flow. He makes my joy. He is my joy. They need this joy in their life! Not photography, not art, not teaching, not play (those are on the sidelines)----but to share with them the greatest thing I know: this man called Jesus is the only way to God, and he loves them perfectly. It would be so strange to go one's entire life without knowing the one person that loves them so relentlessly and so unparalleled to any love they have ever known. I hate that idea now more than ever. Because millions are. Waking, sleeping, living without knowledge of the one TRUE thing about themselves and for themselves: God made you, Christ died for you, Go back to your Creator, He wants eternity with you. You owe him your life..not out of be-grudging obedience, but out of love, in response to what he did.  So we want to keep sharing this, please continue to pray. We love you all
