Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him. (Psalms 126:5)
I just can’t believe it! It took nearly 16 years and more for our family to do this big leap. One day we were feeling the pain of leaving our island (we still do), but how much are we rejoicing for a new family joined together!
How come many people have oh, so desired coming to America, but just have to either die trying or risking it on the borders or on the balsas? Or how others just plain… waste this privilege? What things will we face on in this walk? How will the trials shake us to the core? How will my uncle’s treatment affect our lives? How will I have to deal with the school people, and my sister on work, and others? How will I become a witness? These questions pop up in my mind so fast-paced as you can think of.
Knowing that God will set His pace in our life really is charming and blessed, but it’s also worrying (will He speed up, or will He drop down on me?) at its own time. This fact just makes me realize that there are just things that go well beyond my reach, and that the Lord Himself will resolve. What a mighty God I serve!
Even with all trial facing open wounds, nothing can snatch me –I mean, us- out of His hands. I know that I am an easy insecure doubter at times, but God still loves me the same way He did at that cross two millennia ago. It’s a trouble keeping up with time, but I know that by faith, even though I flaunt and fail and whine and groan, it’s an adventure serving the Lord with all I have… even if it ain’t much! (hahaha)
And the best part is, You’ll stick with me for all!
