Rom 10:15 .... How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Names and faces aren't important in this blog. Romans 10:15 makes it very clear, the heart of this blog is the "feet". This picture was taken while Randy and I were in 8 weeks of training prior to entering the mission field. The feet you see belong to members who shared the same quad we lived in for those 2 months. During that period of time, we became like family. At the completion of the training session and commissioning service, it was time to say a difficult good bye once again.
Each one of us had attended all the classes, completed our assignments, joined in the worship services and we felt we were ready for the mission field. Everyone was anxious to leave for their place of service, but at the same time there was a little dread of leaving that place of peace and security we had called home for 8 weeks.
Since that time, all those beautiful feet have been scattered to the corners of the earth. Each unit or individual sent out to proclaim the gospel and bring glad tidings of good things. We have had the privilege of seeing some of these fellow servants of the Lord at various meetings since our time together in training. It is always a blessing to see them and have a time of sharing our stories. All of us have had very similar experiences of difficult times, joyous times and praises of how God has richly blessed. It's the same determining factor that keeps all these feet on the mission field: You must remember Your Call, Your Commitment...
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written,...
I am so thankful that Randy and I received the call and made the commitment. Please pray for us as we continue to keep our feet pressed toward the goal.
