The purpose of this B-log is to lend you some insight into my life as I venture to Quebec on a mission. I hope to write on regular basis; I’ll start in the summer as I prepare to go. However, until I get through this last stretch of papers and exams, I will simply leave you some scripture to encourage you and a Merton that I jacked from Leslie’s blog to pacify your heart.
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Our Eden is the heart of Christ,
Let grace come, Jesus.
Your name is on my heart
Your holy name is on the tower of my heart.
Let grace come and let this world pass away,
Jesus, You who are living in my exhausted heart.
-Thomas Merton

You, my dear, are a precious gem and it will be a great pleasure to follow along with your journey.

Leah, as you have blessed others with your heart of obedience, so I shamelessly declare that He will pour miracles over you.

Thank you for your love.
Always.
