It's Gonna Be Somethin' Good

It's Gonna Be Somethin' Good

Ten or so years ago, our family gathered to celebrate the birthday of John's beloved "Nanny". During the party, our then young nephew was in charge of getting gifts from the pile and bringing them to Nanny for her to open. One present elicited a comment from him that we continue to quote often. He grabbed a gift bag and immediately announced to the crowd , "Oooh...it's gonna be somethin' good!" The weight of the gift and his past experiences with heavy presents told him that was true.

Fast forward to today, our life, our mission, the desire of our heart is to share the Gospel with the unbeliever and to have community with the believer. And this is our view...

We are currently in a desolate campground. We've had two conversations with neighbors in the ten days we've been here. To describe it as quiet would be an understatement.

But God, while constant, is also a God of seasons. This has been shown to us as consistently as spring follows winter. Our time in Oklahoma, while sweet, was filled to the brim. Our next campground is well-known for being packed with people, events, and opportunities (which was our experience the last time we were there).

We've never been to this campground before and had no idea what to expect. Most often, when the Lord gives us time and space and even a little boredom, we know that we'll have work to do soon and in the words of our astute nephew, we've learned, "It's gonna be somethin' good!"
