Resolution Keeping
A new year, a new semester, new everything in the works! Same God though! How are you doing on your New Year’s resolutions, now that we are a week or so in?
A teacher friend was just talking about her excitement every new semester because you truly get a fresh start—new students, new course material, new schedule. That is such an exciting thing to have multiple times a year compared to other jobs that seem to drag on the same way for days to years.
Guess what, though?! God makes us new and refreshes us every day to try new and exciting things for His sake. Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds us, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” We don’t have to be professors to enjoy that fresh start! Whether our job changes or stays the same, our attitude toward it and who we are serving through it can be refreshed every day.
With this, I challenge you to add another resolution! To accept God’s mercy every morning and proclaim it boldly to others.
We are getting more and more excited about our theoretical “change” in job description. Is our job really changing though? All of God’s children are called to “go and make disciples” wherever we are, so only our location is changing. Yes, our daily lives will be different, but our calling remains.
See these happy smiles? These are some of the girls at a girls’ home (orphanage) in Santa Cruz with their chickens. This will be one of the small differences in our lives—this project was begun by my predecessor and involves veterinary students in the care of chickens. This enables these kids to have extra protein and learn how to raise their own chickens so they can eat now and in the future.
We are so looking forward to getting there ASAP, especially since Lauren Spears, another CVM vet, has returned to the US to serve in a different role with CVM. There is a huge gap to fill where she was at the university and in communities, so we really feel the pressure to be there serving. Just a few dozen more people committed to monthly financial support and we can look at one-way tickets! Will you help us?
Bathed in His new mercies,
