After 22 years of military life and 30 years of ministry moves, we think that our move this month (December 2024) may be our final earthly move. We aren't calling this our "forever home" because we know that awaits us in heaven, but we pray it might be our last earthly home.
We appreciate all that God has taught us along the way, and we are grateful for the many places in the U.S. and Europe where God sent us. Our last earthly home was a long time coming, but it was "worth the wait."
Amidst the unpacked boxes and challenges of this final move, I've been pondering the wonder of our Lord's coming—the unfolding of His plan and purpose beginning with a hint in Genesis 3:15 and continuing through every book in the Old Testament until His actual coming in the Gospels.
I recently heard a song about Christ's birth called Worth the Wait, and my soul cried out, "Amen!"
Just as I can look back on our 20+ moves and see God's unfolding plan for us as a couple, we can look back and see God's unfolding story whispered, spoken, and shouted to our world.
May you remember today and every day that Christ's coming was "worth the wait."
Why not take time this week to read through this series of one-minute devotions about Christ's long-prophesied coming:
