Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping,
carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.
- Psalm 126:5-6
The emotional aspect of being away from home for so long finally sunk in this morning, bringing with it all the normal tears and prayers. God reminded me of this verse which I had underlined in my Bible last time I was far away from the people I loved the most. I am headed to a new field - this time though, my focus will not be as much on the Nicaraguans but on my team of teen girls (you're all praying for me, right?). I am carrying seeds of wisdom, experience, truth, and the presence of Christ with me. And He has promised that my choice to be faithful to whatever He has set in front of me will not be without a harvest. So there may be some tears, yes, but there is also a joyful expectancy and curiosity to see how God fulfills His promise!
I will see you all in about 5 weeks. Until then, don't forget to follow our team blog!
