Looking back….

 Looking back….

 I wrote the following blog in 2014, 10 years and eons ago…

God is still connecting the dots…his finger prints continue to show up in various places, (I love watching for them)…

At this last MAF conference I was privileged to meet one of the pilots who flies this plane that was dedicated ten years ago for God’s service in PNG…

Looking back over our lives, there are so many dot to dot connections…and there will continue to be …it is amazing how God works in each of our lives if we just take time to stop, observe,  even reminisce…oh, there are a lot of questions, too…but, being thankful for amazing times He works out everyday matters, events…building our faith step by step…

Thank YOU….

Connecting the dots...

..


Isaiah 55:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire 
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.




Our family was privileged to attend a dedication of a Kodiak plane to my husband of 43 plus years...it is scheduled to go to Papua New Guinea soon to be flown there for missionary service..

.

At the ceremony, we were shown the display of a plane frame of the plane flown by Nate Saint to a native tribe in South America where they lost their lives...the family stayed there and ministered and now the tribesman who was part of the killing group is now the godfather to the grandchildren...and a Christian leader in the tribe..

.

MAF presented us with a new copy of a new painting of the plane....and if you look down in the left-hand corner, there is a shadow of that first fateful plane....moving, to say the least....

So we have lived in the era when they flew, died, the ministry grew, and now there are planes all over the globe.....connecting the dots....through time....



The other dots for us.....we supported a pilot and his family all of their serving years until, he, the pilot...took off one day with a passenger in bad weather and never returned...in Papua New Guinea ......at the ceremony was the young family who are going to working with this plane...who visas had been delayed....and hadn't planned on being there ....timing....connecting the dots.....blessings...



It is a blessing when you can look back and see dots/events connecting over time....other times, we see no connecting, but God does....

It feels like a glimpse of purpose....just like all the prophecies telling of the Saviour coming to earth ....we are part of that same picture and that is so overwhelming that God loves us so much to be part of the overall plan.....and shows us a tiny glimpse of the connections....

.


Thank YOU, God, for big blessings of seeing history....of being a part of that history....seeing your Word going to all the nations.....help me to consider and see the connecting dots...there are sooooo very many.....and take time to praise You for all of those connections...

Isaiah 28:10
New King James Version (NKJV)
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little.

Hebrews 13:7-9a
New International Version (NIV)
7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by
