Journey to Labrador....Our new home

[This grace] has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. 2 Timothy 1:10-11.
Dennis Kinlaw said, "In Jesus' day, Israel did not think the way that God thought, and so when God came, they crucified him. He didn't fit their pattern for a Messiah. The apostles didn't crucify him; they simply forsook him. Jesus was willing to go so far as to redeem us for himself. He was willing to take on human form so we could visualize him in our human minds. God's love and willingness to change form for the sake of humanity was absolutely beyond the expectations of all the disciples."

Now that we have the benefit, the blessing of the written Word, how far are we willing to 'Go'? As we prepare to depart for Labrador for hopefully the next few years, I am in awe of the peace that surrounds us. He takes care of all the details, and lights the path brightly in front of us. The power is in the Word. May each day renew us with His wonder. May God show Himself each day and the words Jesus spoke be proclaimed throughout Labrador with vitality, sharing His glory, and fall upon open hearts and minds. I love you Jesus!
