Getting Ready
Baptists aren’t really “Lenten people” but our church family is preparing our hearts for Easter with this series. Finding the 28 minutes a day for listening was challenging me. So…..I’ve given up K-Love during drive time until I’ve finished hearing the New Testament.
Julia is sitting next to me right this minute, practicing the songs her choir plans to sing Palm Sunday. This is her “I’m paying attention” face – because she is. She takes her responsibilities seriously.
We met Julia four years ago today. She spoke - and sang - in Russian. She didn’t know “family” and certainly not us personally. She had no idea how long we had prepared, prayed, wept, saved, reorganized and planned to get her here, knowing God’s hand was it (but wanting human hands to move a whole lot faster.) She had to leave everyone and everything she knew to leap into the unknown. I believe her walking out of Children’s Home #47 with us was the single bravest act I’ve ever seen committed – anywhere at any time by anyone.
On Palm Sunday, she’ll led us in worship – in English. And instead of her following us – we’ll follow her.
Just a moment ago, she began singing Chris Tomlin’s, “How Great Is Our God.”
How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see
How great
How great
Is our God.
That’s right, Julia.
Get us ready for Easter.
