A Moment

I have a moment... yikes, it's December 1st! I've missed writing, just like I always say when I haven't had the time to write. God has been at work in my heart- this is a given. What I should really be saying is that I've seen and understood God's work in my heart as of late. I was able to attend the inauguration of a brand new church in Santa Marta, Portugal tonight. It was exciting to be there at the beginning of a work that will be faithfully reaching out to the lost. So many times I've been frustrated by stagnation in the church (not necessarily my own church, but the church in general) and it's so exciting to see new work- alive and growing- being planted and reaching its arms out to the lost people in the community. As I was sitting there, thinking I need to know this language better, I was filled with love and anticipation for God's work here in Portugal. It was one of many spiritual nudges I've had towards the ministry here. God is at work- I feel full of expectancy like in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe when they whisper with eyes wide and hopes high, "Aslan is on the move!"
God is on the move. It is exciting and I want to be a part of it!
