Catch -up

Wow! I cruised over to the Morgan Journey blog today and was surprised at how far behind I am in updating the watching world on our adventure.

First, thank you to everyone who prayed for us and helped us on our trip to Philadelphia. It was good to have the time away with my bride and to know that a steady stream of prayer was being offered on our behalf.


Secondly, the week of assessment was exhausting but good. As most of you know, Laura and I were appointed by World Harvest Mission to join their Church Resources Team in Ireland. If this seems like a big, life-changing thing, IT IS!!!!!!!!!!

As we have returned from assessment, the enormity of what lies ahead of us has slowly begun to sink in, and stress and anxiety with it. To be honest, the goal of raising the needed support and getting to the field in two years, seems impossible. We feel overwhelmed and incompetent. How can we do this? We don't know enough people nor have enough talent to pull this off!

This is the place where the transcending reality of the love of God for us becomes real. At this place we realize that all the idols we run to for strength are empty and powerless. There is no hope to be found in reputation, comfort, self-worship, perceived moral superiority or any other emptiness. Our hope must be in the living God. The God who has seen us as we really are and said, "It is finished". I love you in my Son and will guide you to the place of your calling. Walk with me.

The path before us is unsure. How we will get to Ireland, we don't know. We do know that our Father loves us, is all-powerful and is good!

How can we not prosper!
