i went to church today -- the crux. i've missed the last four sundays because i was working for three of them and last sunday i was out cold, apparantly, and julia couldn't wake me up. but i'm not sure she tried that hard.
anyways.
the text was out of acts 16. paul and co. were trying to retrace the steps of a previous missionary journey to expand the churches they'd planted. God kept blocking their way, and they kept moving, trying to figure out where God was leading them. paul ended up having a dream -- a macedonian standing on the shore calling for his help. where did they go? macedonia.
who did i think of? matt arnold.
someone needs to tell me when that kid leaves for macedonia. i'm going to miss him. i'm willing to admit that the past four years of my life have been a TON more exciting, nerve-wracking, scary, and awesome simply through being acquainted with him. heck, i can't even open up a box from a boy without tears falling from the fear that it will contain a dead animal or parts of a dead animal. while i fear him like none other, at the same time i feel very safe in extreme conditions when i know he and nate are running the show.
matt arold -- you will be missed. but there's joy in knowing you'll be showing God to the macedonian people.
leave the dead animals at home with jesse.
