Tonight I leave for another two and a half months of this amazing journey of discernment and seeking God's best! My time here at home with family and friends has been a gift! After two-weeks in Sierra Leone visiting friends and WMF peeps, I head to Cape Town, South Africa for two months.
In Sierra Leone my internet access will be more limited, so blog postings will probably be a little more spotty and inconsistent the rest of January! But, I'm sure I will be back in full swing again once I get to South Africa in February. Stay tuned!
I will close this post with another prayer from the book, Celtic Daily Prayer. This evening prayer is taken based on Psalm 27, one of several anchor verses during this season of my life....
In the shadow of Your wings
I will sing Your praises, O Lord.
The Lord is my light, my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the refuge of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
In the shadow of Your wings
I will sing Your praises, O Lord.
One thing I ask of the Lord,
one thing I seek;
to dwell in the presence of my God,
to gaze on Your holy place.
In the shadow of Your wings
I will sing Your praises, O Lord.
I believe I shall see the goodness
of the Lord in the land of the living.
O wait for the Lord!
Have courage and wait,
wait for the Lord.
In the shadow of Your wings
I will sing Your praises, O Lord.
I will sing Your praises, O Lord.
The Lord is my light, my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the refuge of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
In the shadow of Your wings
I will sing Your praises, O Lord.
One thing I ask of the Lord,
one thing I seek;
to dwell in the presence of my God,
to gaze on Your holy place.
In the shadow of Your wings
I will sing Your praises, O Lord.
I believe I shall see the goodness
of the Lord in the land of the living.
O wait for the Lord!
Have courage and wait,
wait for the Lord.
In the shadow of Your wings
I will sing Your praises, O Lord.
