No - that's not me in the picture. This is just to give you an idea of what the weather was like in Kotzebue this winter. We did have some snow while we were there and the community is still dealing with the large drifts.
I hope to get you an update of our trip tomorrow. It's been kind of crazy since we landed on Monday evening. Jenn and I took time with the kids yesterday and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I'm looking forward to sharing with you about the trip.
I do want to share with you what I read this morning in "My Utmost for His Highest."
Gracious Uncertainty - April 29
"Our natural inclination is to be so precise - trying always to forecast accurately what will happen next - that we look upon uncertainty as a bad thing. We think that we must reach some predetermined goal, but that is not the nature of the spiritual life. The nature of the spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainty...
"Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life - gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, not knowing what tomorrow may bring. This is generally expressed with a sigh of sadness, but it should be an expression of breathless expectation. We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God...
"The spiritual life is the life of a child. We are not uncertain of God, just uncertain of what He is going to do next..."
The Scripture reading was 1 John 3:2, "...it has not yet been revealed what we shall be..."
After I share with you about our trip then you will understand why this was so compelling to me this morning.
Be Blessed!
