Sometimes what’s going on behind the scenes is more exciting than the main show on the field.
Our field is pretty exciting right now. The Sparrow Fund’s annual fundraiser starts in a few days. I’m traveling next weekend to speak at an event in Maryland. Mark’s preparing for a trip to China in about 2 1/2 weeks. Our calendar has been full as we continue to meet with folks daily as we put together a team of supporters for full-time purposeful work. And, we’ve had a lot of ball games lately.
As exciting as all that is, I gotta say, I’m more excited about what He’s doing behind the scenes, how He’s working in us and through us in ways we don’t even know, how He’s confirmed our calling, how He’s preparing me for the next season, how He’s unifying Mark and I even more, how He’s working in others to rally them to be a part of our sending team, the little details that we’ve seen come together thus far. I can’t always see that stuff on the main field everyday, but I see glimpses of it. That’s the stuff that energizes me to keep on going with all the other things—that and some good coffee every so often.
