Our team heading to El Salvador, which includes me, J.J. Faltot (North Way's student ministry director), and Nathan and Kelsey Miller, has been sitting in the Miami airport all day waiting a long time for our flight to San Salvador since our original flight was canceled. We'll take turns updating the blog of our adventures. While we were waiting in the airport, Nathan Miller wrote this reflection ahead of our time in El Salvador:
Up early and out the door
The day has finally arrived
The Lord has continued to open doors
That seemed locked just hours before
Everything is falling into place
But...
Hard right turn
Into a time of waiting
A time to trust the process
In the waiting we give up control
In the waiting the Spirit is renewing our strength
In the waiting our character is refined in the fire
In the waiting space is made for unexpected conversation
In the waiting their is tension
How long can the heart of man wait
How long can we give up control
Oh to find peace in the waiting
To sit in the solitude of unexpected space to think
To see the waiting as a gift
As a gift of opportunity
Opportunity to let Your light shine a little brighter
To push back the darkness of the waiting
To love a little harder
What if the waiting is really the destination
The destination where true heart transformation happens?
