Faith of the Heart

Following God has never been a straight path.  There are usually many twists and turns along the way.   In the fact the Celtic Christians had a pet name for the Holy Spirit - they called him the "wild goose."  Ever chase a goose?  They don't run in a straight line.  I have found the Spirit to "blow where it wants," in my life.
 
This year the "wild goose chase" will lead Brooke and I to Papua New Guinea.  It has been a long time coming.  For the 18 years we've been together we have longed to go to the mission field.

Being a Star Trek fan, we've watched almost every episode of every show.  This past year we watched Enterprise again.  The theme song speaks volumes to me and the words resonates strongly in my spirit.  We too have waited a long time, have endured setbacks and disappointments and have continued to try to balance being faithful in patience and dreaming of the future.  So, if you want to know what's in my heart right now, just listen to the word of this song and you will get a real glimpse of what I am feeling.  I have "faith of the heart, and strength of the soul," through Jesus Christ.
