With just a few more days before our family moves back to the States to begin yet another adventure, we find ourselves filled with many aspects. Yes, we have begun the process of packing (we will not be done until the last minute), we have been fully engaged with this current team from Michigan that is here serving, and we find ourselves processes with our kids the journey that we have been and are on in Guatemala.
The last step has been an interesting one to walk because with our kids at different ages, it has been intriguing to see how this time in another country has impacted them. We also know that there will be elements of our time in Guatemala that will not manifest until later in life.
Our desire in this process, and complete time here, is to be faithful to God's leading and direction in our family's life.
Our call has been something rather fun to examine. A Call by God is something that I have had enjoyment in looking at over the past few years. Yet when a person is joined together, knitted together have you, we become more than just one....we become more. We become a family.
There are also two types of callings from the Lord. A Call to a task, and a life-long Calling. Our family has been walking through both of these.
I would say that our family's life-long calling is discipleship/mentoring and serving others and the call to a task this past year has been Guatemala.
Now, we find ourselves moving back to Iowa, to continue that same life-long calling but the task has now shifted. Oh Lord reveal that task to us and may we be faithful to YOUR call on our lives!
What is your Calling from God? Your life-long calling? Your current call to a task? May you seek after these answers AND seek after the One who Calls YOU!
