I shared this song with Allen earlier this month. We laughed and laughed at how it captures life right now so perfectly.
We are operating in three realities: the Here and Now, the This Summer, and the Future.
We are trying to live well here and now: teaching Sunday School, investing in relationships, wrapping up pre-field assignments, selling our home, going to training in Pennsylvania next month, etc.
We are also making big decisions about This Summer: buying a motorhome, leaving my job, teaching at VBS, driving out of Alaska, attending a supplemental language program in Tennessee, visiting family, etc.
And we are looking forward and planning for the Future: purchasing mattresses and other supplies, purchasing, packing, and storing our container, thinking about clothes for kids to grow into, etc.
There are days we spin and spin (like the windmills of our mind!). But we serve a God Who stops the winds and calms the spinning. He rejoices over us with singing and quiets us with His love. He leads and guides and protects.
And He places such sweet people in our lives who encourage us, pray for us, and walk beside us. Thank you.
