Once a month we get together with other missionaries (mostly SIL Bible translators) to have some worship time. It is always so uplifting and sweet to be with other Christians and be able to sing together in English, but this past Thursday was particularly touching. We sang two hymns that I truly love, Blessed Assurance and Great Is Thy Faithfulness, and as we sang I could hear Maddie’s sweet voice loud and clear right next to me. I love how generations of those before us have sung those songs with the same passion and awe I feel when I reflect on the truths they proclaim, and I cannot describe my joy and thankfulness to hear my daughter sing those words and know that God is calling to her heart and continually revealing himself to her. It is such a wonder and beauty to see God at work in others, particularly those near to my heart.
