It’s been a good weekend. We had a visit from a young woman we’ve known for several years who is going through the Biblical studies program at SIBI (Sunset International Bible Institute) in Lubbock, TX. Our church is helping support her financially in her efforts, and she visited here and stayed with us this weekend.
Nora’s goal and calling is missions. Whenever, wherever, however she can be useful, she is willing, and is working and studying to be able.
I am both lifted and prodded by visits such as this. To hear of one’s total devotion to their calling, even to the point of willingness to go into harm’s way, is awe-inspiring. To know that someone is immersed in something much greater than themselves is a call to me that I need to get out of myself and into something greater.
Further, to know people like this personally, and to see them grow and develop…to know their families and their background is like icing on the cake. Nora is an extraordinary young woman; one who will turn the hearts and minds of many “toward home”. I am humbled, awed, and blessed to know her and be a small part of her life.
