Sent

I just dropped off my wife and oldest daughter (13) for a week long mission trip in Honduras. It is a strange feeling 'sending' your wife and daughter off to a strange land where there is perceptibly more danger and less control. I trust they will be well and God will open their eyes to see there what is all around them here. God speaks to us in the going and the sending--the illusion of control that we live under is undressed when we send and the blindness of opportunity is unveiled when we go. Both the going and the sending open our eyes to the life we take for granted right in front of us everyday.
