Wearing the shoes I've traveled the most miles in (my running shoes), today i traveled the most miles i have ever been--4.612 miles across the great Atlantic to Manchester, England. Despite the mere 2 hours of sleep I recieved on the plane, I could not shut my eyes on the train ride to Yarm due to the incredible landscape of Northeastern England. My favorite part by far were the families of sheep gallivanting across stone-enclosed fields. Repeatedly, God compares us His children to sheep:
"The Lord is my shepherd, i lack no thing. He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul" (Psalm 23).
Occasional hills were covered in the brightest and fullest yellow flowers I have ever laid eyes upon, reminding me, "Not even Solomon in all of his splendor was dressed like one of these" (Matt 6:29).
I am finally here. And i am so excited to see how God works in me & through me, as well as our entire team, this summer.
"This life is not godliness, but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is becoming cleansed." -Martin Luther
