Turning the Page

This chapter of our story is coming to a close.  Just as a book gives you signs and little hints of wrapping up one segment and yet giving headway and hints into the new and upcoming intrigue of the next chapter, so it is with us.  Daniel was able to preach on our final Sunday here at Cotopaxi Community Church and I was able to see how much the people love him and how much this church played in developing him into the man he is now.  The preacher and becoming pastor that he is now.



We are two weeks away from moving to our first mission field.  We are changing from the Mountains to the Meadows as far as physical location.  Only God knows the changes He wants to bring about in our hearts and minds. We look forward with anticipation and strong confidence as a player in an orchestra looks ahead to each measure of written music.  They trust the writer in having it all correct to sound it's best.  They trust the conductor to keep them in time and in unity with all the other pieces to be able have harmony.  And as they approach the end of a page and prepare to turn the next, there is no stress and worry about whether the next page is in order or whether it will sound right.  Whether they need to proofread it first.  They just turn the page and continue on with only a fresh breath as their concern.  In that same way are we.  Trusting our Author and Conductor and ready to turn the page with a fresh breath to take on the next measure and then the next and then the next.  One step at a time, one day at a time, to follow into something orchestrated beyond just us and fit in to the work as a whole.  May God be praised for it all!
