I was in charge of the devotions for this morning here in Jaltengo.

I lead the group I am a part of in Morning Prayers from the Celtic Daily Prayer.

I shared with them scriptures that have been heavy on my heart these days.

I talked about redemption . . . reading from Isaiah 35 . . . a scripture we meditated on in gathering back in September.

I told them that I had spent the last few years feeling lost.

That I did not really know where my life was headed after I left the path I was on towards full-time traditional ministry.

And even though I have not figured out the next ten years of my life . . . I told them that did know the bottom line of my vocation.

I told them that I wanted my life to tell the story of redemption and restoration.

That God can take what is broken and give it life again.

And that God can use what is broken to bring life to others.

I have no idea the shape my life will take in the coming weeks, months and years.

But I do know what my passion will be . . . what I will cause my life to be driven by.

Service. Redemption. Restoration. Resurrection.
