Home at last – but
where is home ?
Where will I lay my
head tonight ?
I know that God is on
His throne,
But why do I feel that
this part is such a fight ?
They've given me a
whole 2 minutes to talk ;
to explain 2, 3 or 4
years of intense activity ;
to say in what ways God
has accompanied this walk ;
(I hope I've done
adequate photography.)
Children, do you
remember this person … ?
Lord, have I prepared
them well enough ?
What's the best school
and how much will it cost ?
I have to trust the
kids are made of sterner stuff.
What on earth is the
Aussie word for …. ?
My goodness, they're
all using these things now !
I've forgotten where
you buy pencil sharpeners.
Do I look dowdy in
this ? I feel like an old German Frau.
Now I've been to the
office and I've seen the Treasurer,
The SMD and the LT and
personnel ;
I filled in all the
forms and checked I have the measure
of all the paperwork,
admin and other torture from hell.
Folks, it's been such
an exciting journey,
I hope you'll partner
with us for the next three.
Look at all those
photos on their missions board
I'm NOT in
competition : God has called them, AND He has called me.
I am sooo happy to see
this person again,
Grateful for the ease
of our relationship.
But I cry as I leave,
inspite of the promise of Heaven,
Mourning the potential
of that special friendship.
The time is up ;
it's the journey back.
The support's at a 100
and the commissioning's done.
Vaccinations, health
checks, visas and all's packed.
Goodbyes at the airport
– the next adventure is come.
Home at last – but
where is home ? ('In my Father's house are many rooms' Jn 14:2)
Where will I lay my
head tonight ? ('The Son of Man has no place to lay His head' Mt
8:20)
I know that God is on
His throne,('Your throne, O Lord, will last for ever and ever' Ps
45:6)
But why do I feel that
this part is such a fight ? ('Fight the good fight of the faith.
Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made
your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.' 1 Tim 6:12)
