Do you believe in miracles? I do. I have come to depend on them. Our decision to leave 14 years in Durham and begin a new chapter in Korea and Northeast Asia with the Mennonite Central Committee has tested my and Donna’s faith. But last week I walked down the street to church in the small Vermont town where my parents live. During the special music, an old friend asked me and my parents forward and dedicated this Matt Redman song to me and Donna, which he proceeded to sing. I hope these words of speak to you as well:

“Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did you leave us on our own
You are faithful, God you are faithful”

“Expect revelation,” said Madeline L’Engle; the words were exactly that.
