“If it’s you Jesus, invite us on the water.”
18 months ago my family was asking this question regarding the opportunity to move to Madison and take a job at InterVarsity’s headquarters.
We had been captured by the story of Peter in the boat in Matthew 14. As a family we sensed it was Jesus on the water and made the move last summer.
While there is much to still see about what God has for us here, there are a couple of things that stand out as I look back at the first year.
First, “water” is very unstable to step onto. This year had many questions, challenges, and uncertainties. It is faith stretching and calls out a focus on Jesus.
Second, we have so much to be thankful for. Camilla and I spent a recent drive recounting for an hour our places of thanksgiving as we reflected on the year.
Thank you so much for your prayers and continued partnership! And, I wonder, is there a place where Jesus’ presence is beckoning you out of the boat?
