On Nov 5th, we received the long awaited email from our facilitator. We have an appointment with the SDA on Nov 28th, the day after Thanksgiving. We are now in the process of setting up our flight plans and trying to get our to-do list done before we leave. One of the big items on our list was to finish the basement before we left for Ukraine but I guess it will have to wait until we get back!
This past Sunday, we went home to Minnesota to visit family and attended the church Mari grew up in. The sermon was titled “Choose this Day” with the reading from Joshua.
“…then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 3:15).
It continues on to tell us:
“We will serve the LORD our God and obey him.” (Joshua 3:25).
While God cannot control free will or some of the choices we make, He can steer us in the direction He wishes us to go. It is up to us to ultimately make the choice to trust His plan for us.
We are still asked ‘Why?’ I still don’t have a good answer other than “It’s God’s calling for us.” Just the idea of giving a young person a chance at a better life further adds to our blessings by introducing us to good people who have also received the same calling.
