Fearless

Last night I was lying in bed between sleep and being awake when I subtly felt a hand on my shoulder. Soft and comforting. It was my wife. At first I didnt realize what was going on but I soon heard the words being whispered from her lips, Dear God, thank you... I have often heard my wife pray, but this one was different. I was so completely blown away at the intimate conversation that followed that I too started in silent prayer. The intimacy my wife showed towards God was so intense that I became really emotional and was overcome by a flood of humility. Somehow the Lords grace felt so real in that moment that all my inequities and fears just melted away. October was our one year wedding anniversary and

like last night, I am often blown away by this incredible woman. Ever so often she surprises me and surpasses my preconceived notions of what I feel and think I know about her. She is an incredible mystery which captivates and frustrates me simultaneously. Sometimes, I dont even know if I want to pull out my hair or dance with joy. What I do know is that I love her intensely and that she loves me in return. She and I are facing new endeavours: - She is lecturing at 13thFLOORs media department for their November training, - and I am recording our bands first album. Both things are exciting, new and takes a lot of effort, dedication and heaps of time. We both feel like fish out of water, but the

passion placed within us motivates us to a point of fearlessness. We are both now working as missionaries and the challenges we are facing are in a way forcing us to be more dependent on God and His provision. I dont know where we will be next year October, but what I do know is that, as history would show, God has always provided for us... ...how can He not. He loves us so very much, all we have to keep doing is: TRUST HIM BE OBEDIENT LET GO!!! And let history repeat itself.
