Part of our farewell church service included this skit emphasizing how Jesus encourages His followers to carry their crosses, and to not take shortcuts. At the time I thought this was funny and well done, but a rather random topic in an eclectic and unique Sunday service. Now I think this was a message from God for all of us. We are experiencing a hard adjustment all around. While our girls grieve the loss of their friends, it is always more difficult for those who stay behind. Through all this difficulty God is creating something beautiful. We pray for patience, stamina and courage for the Marabá team and for our family.
