Solitude & Ministry

Ministry in a world of ongoing change

needs to be deeply rooted in a

silent encounter with our faithful God.

-Henri Nouwen

As I am gearing up to go serve at camp and then Africa, this quote reminds me of God's faithfulness and my desperate need of Jesus to be at the center of it all. Encounter with God is at the root of all healthy ministry. So my prone-to-wander-heart clings to Him the best it knows how, knowing that will God help me with the rest (which is a LOT).

On a similar note, what an amazing community of family and friends I have been blessed with! To whoever might read this, thank you for being the embodiment of Christ to me. I am so grateful for your presence in my life!
