Yesterday, we should have remembered what Dan's dad always said, "Just think of the next thing." We were trying to think two steps ahead of where we were and arrived at the mall (which houses a post office, office supplies, grocery store, etc.) with our list of tasks and realized we forgot to bring our money (as well as driver's license and credit card.) Oops. We missed that step! We had to retrace our steps, calm ourselves, and begin again.
Here we are, packing up, with one meeting to go before going to the airport. It's always a crazy time of wondering if we did all God intended for us to do...Did we choose the right things to attend to? That's when it's a comfort to remember Who is in charge. We are just God's servants, doing the best we can. We take great encouragement from the fact that so many people are praying. As we leave, and the country of PNG gets smaller in the distance, our staff seem so vulnerable...until we remember Who it is that has their back. This ministry stuff is definitely God's business, and if we hold on to that, then whatever happens will be gold, silver, and precious stones...not wood hay and stubble. We just have to look to Him for our next (and each) step, one at a time.
