The Brickey Missions Journal

Thinking about the year...
Father,
The year began with wonder
If we would arrive where you have called us.
You said, "Wait my children. I am not done."

We stressed, we waited, and still we wait,
But our stress has been lifted
As we see your present work.

Thank you for giving time to heal our children.
What a gift to watch our oldest run and jump,
and our youngest speak.
When a year ago, they couldn't.

Thank you for giving us time to grow.
We were trying to do this on our own strength,
Now we're learning to lean on you.

Thank you for the friendships
That continue to deepen.
They are a foundation for our journey.

Thank you for bridging the gap
between our denomination and our call.
It's a humbling honor to work in the body of Christ.

Thank you for visions of the field,
of the ministry and life we will begin...
What does it mean? What will it hold?

You are not done, and we continue to wait,
But now we see what you have started to do...
You're making us truly YOURS.

Thank You.
