Each day: Today

As we approach the end of our term in Najile, its hard to focus on what God has for us here.  A common refrain in our household when things are just not working out is..."13 weeks" or whatever the count is at the time.  However, even while back home in September, God gave us a word to run the race faithfully until its completion.  Recently, that same idea was reinforced when we heard a similar word, "Set your eyes on my work today.  Be faithful each today." This word has helped us refocus our eyes on our work here and on God.  While we are called daily to take various preparatory steps towards our return, we try to avoid meditating on the future when there's much left to do today.  I pray that each of you knows God's call for you today and allow the blessing of today to shine brightly.
