>pondering
As I (Ben) write this ?pondering? section of this here newsletter, I glance over at our calendar and see that we are exactly one month away from flying back overseas to Germany -- and we are extremely excited! Are we glad to sort through stuff and pack and give away and toss and more and deal with all these details concerning moving? Not necessarily. Are we ecstatic about spending final moments with family and close friends, saying goodbye to loved ones when we know we won?t see them face-to-face for another 4 years or more? Obviously not. Are we honored to go and serve God through living out His love and light to those in a spiritually dark area, with the anticipation and expectancy to see many individuals encounter the truth of the living, saving, redeeming, returning Christ? Absolutely! We want to see people meet, know and love Jesus -- and we count it a privilege that God continues to lead us in northeast Germany, to give people a chance to experience Him. Thanks for joining us in this adventure, and know that we appreciate your partnership in a gigantic way!
