Welcome to The Table. 

 Today I am writing to you from northern Georgia, surprise! As many of you know, we were supposed to fly out to Nicaragua yesterday, January eighth, but due to covid we are still here in Georgia. Hours before we were supposed to leave for the airport, as we were playing games on the concrete floor that had become our new home, it was announced to us that one of our squadmates had tested positive and we would no longer be launching in the morning. 

My initial, human reaction, alongside many others, was disappointment. But what came next was and is pure beauty, some may even call it heavenly. Instead of being consumed with our cultural reaction to this news, sitting in anger or bitterness or annoyance, we made the choice to have a kingdom reaction. We started praying and pulling scripture and sharing testimonies and just loving each other well. That is what the Kingdom is about, and this is the table that I am humbled to be invited to sit at. My mission is not Nicaragua, my mission is this! People who are passionately pursuing the Lord. People who, rather than being afraid of the unknown, embrace it alongside me. We are taking delight in the freedom that comes with blindly walking with the Lord.

 Psalm 119:35 says "Guide me in the path of your commands, for I delight to walk in it." What is a command that you are learning to delightfully walk in?
