hindsight-foresight

This weeks prompt at The Grove was hindsight
Danielle writes to a younger version of herself, newly arrived on the mission field and then asks us:

In hindsight, that’s what I’d tell my fresh-off the plane self.  What would you tell yours?

Since we are still two weeks from departure, I'll have to put a bit of a reverse twist on the question, speaking back from the future that hasn't yet arrived.

Karin--

breathe

big gulps of the fresh Canadian prairie air

take it in deep, pause

now exhale, let it all go

relax into the spin

the swirling rush, the imaginings

soon enough your eyes will see

ears hear, what you have only dreamed of

don't lose your last home moments

to worries of what you can not now know

your new life will have troubles of its own

unfolding in their own time

as will the blessings

you will weep

you will laugh

you will stand in awe

and you will be changed

breathe, pause, let it go

make room for all He has to give

Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. Matthew 6:34 The Message
