Our family is going to Chicago next week to have interview with the staff at Lutheran Bible Translators. Following those discussions we will have a clearer picture of whether or not we will be moving on from Emmanuel in Kettering to a year of graduate school at the Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics in Dallas TX this summer.
Our family has spent the last month reading from the Bible together each night and I am finding that it is the most meaningful time we spend together each day. Additionally, it is building in each of us a love for the word of God, and a need (or felt need?) for the word of God. I think this is important, because if we are not in a place where we have begun to see and grasp and crave the importance of God's word in our normal every day lives, we have precious little to keep us motivated in translation work, providing the word for others. But if our desire to provide the word to others is rooted in our own conviction and practice that the word is an integral part of normal life, day to day life in the Christian walk, we will be building on a solid foundation.
Praise God for his continued work in our family's life! More coming real soon.
