Missio Colonia | Kevin and Kathi in Cologne, Germany

Discouragement is a weird phenomenon mainly because it's so irrational. I know in my intellect that God loves us and He's going to provide for all of our needs. I even know that whatever obstacles or setbacks we are facing now are forging our characters. But, whenever we go a week without much movement my heart automatically starts wondering where God is. My faith really is like shifting sands. Or even better, a house of cards. Or even more poignant, a house of cards built on shifting sands.

I was mad at God yesterday. I'm ashamed to admit it. But, the thought kept on circulating through my heart, How Long O' Lord? I was focusing solely on the circumstances before my eyes, and not looking to the Holy One. Last night God spoke to me through a book. The line in the book was, "Peace, dear child, you do not understand." Be still, Kevin and Kathi. You don't understand what I'm doing, but everything I do is never without a purpose. Please be praying for our hearts. Pray that we would be renewed in our strength and faith.
