My focus of efforts...

During this time of uncertainty in our quest for missions in Ethiopia I have been pondering a truth.

I may not be able to change the world or even the circumstances that directly surround me but I can devote myself to obeying God, allowing the spirit to change me. Then I can trust God to change the world as He sees fit.

I have to focus on the things that I am responsible/capable to change and trust God to deal with the things I cannot change. My aim must be to yield to the Spirit conforming me to the likeness of Christ rather than trying to conform the world and those in it to my understanding of righteousness.
