Changing A's to F's.

I love making A's. In fact, I'm quite fanatical about it. In fact, I cannot even stand it when I make a low A--for example, I was disappointed with a 95 on my last history test (which is amazing for this history class)...So I like A's a lot. But last night at Vision, several countries in the 10/40 window were shown on slides. And they made A's in their major religions. In fact, they made high A's. Check out the stats:

Mongolia

As I saw these slides, I just cried and cried. Because I am so crazy about A's--but these countries have "made the grade" in the wrong thing. They've made A's for Satan. And they do not even realize it.

My challenge, my call is to change those A's to big, fat F's. I'd like to receive an A doing that, more than any A I could make in class. Pray with me, send with me, go with me. Let's make the grade for the cause of Christ across our world!

"But how will they call upon Him whom they do not know? How are they to hear of Him if some are not sent? As it is written, How Beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news!" Romans 10:14-15 (paraphrase)

What do you want from me?

Image
“What do you want from me?” The question eeeks out of my brain quicker than I can stop it with better judgement. It’s not a harsh, angry tone—just a sense of exasperation as I sigh and mark an email unread, because I don’t know what to do with it today.  I got a card this weekend from my former supervisor in India, a dear friend. In it was a heart-shaped magnet that said underneath, “I love India.” But that bottom section had been broken off in transit, leaving only the heart left. I immediately felt all the feels about that, because isn’t that how it all feels? My heart still holds India so dearly, but that love that tied me to it with a calling and purpose and hopes of acclimating and belonging there… that was shattered as God both called me to stay and, after my term, to leave without a vision for returning. Without a vision for much of anything, really. Some of that vision, of course, has been filled in. I know I’m right where he wants me right now. I love my job (even whe

Lent is: leaning in.

Image
The early-sun stills my heart to sit, this “making room” leftover from Advent,  is now giving birth to Lent— a new season to contemplate the old, a season of dawn: of all of our hopes, retold. But first, it’s dark and the way is long the lengthening of days piling up in fog over my heart that needs hope like oxygen my soul that needs rest, breathing in, breathing out, this sound a melody where old meets new and where I meet You. You, who said that you would come— then waiting came instead; we made our home in it, its easy idols, fingers like fans, in sticky silence, maple syrup on unwashed hands, marveling, reveling like a lark revealing hearts just as dark as the stuff we play in: snuffing out our hope; we succumb to sin. You, who promised to redeem us from ourselves, make us clean in this season to be set free, not to make yet another form of slavery fasting, freedom, resisting, redemption— the same heartbeats, beating recolle

Return {velvet ashes link up}

Image
To the one who stayed, and now must return, dear friend,  dear self, You didn't want to stay. Everything within you was ready to go. You were ready. Everything but your bags was packed: your heart, your calling, your identity—stowed away in the treasure boxes you found them in at first. Reburied like sand shuffled under waves of uncertainty, doubt, and the existential lie: did God really say? But you stayed. And even though sometimes you waffle and wonder, you know He asked you to. Every time you thought you heard conflicting words: stay, leave, you were really only hearing yourself. Until you could get away in the silence and the May stormy skies and the big white-down comforter to keep you warm. Then you could be still. Then you were silent. Then He spoke.  His words were crystal clear: I'm going to redeem all of it.  And He did, didn't He? I know you're feeling conflicted, confused over all these emotions: ready to leave, wanting to stay. A far, f
