Landed

This Anderson family feels a bit more like a gaggle of grasshoppers bouncing around Ontario. For the moment, we have landed in Ajax with Heather's parents. The goal is job shopping and house clearing (we have stored a pile of junk here) before we make a leap to Kitchener.

If you were to ask me why Kitchener I might say something like "the prospects of future vocational ministry". And to be truthful, at this point in our journey, we can't be too much more specific than that. I believe God's calling on a person's life is summed up well by Tim Keller's three-fold description: do you love it, do your friends think you are skilled at it, and is there an opportunity to do it. As far as we are aware, these things are all true in relation to Kitchener.

However, as Cowper teaches us: "God moves in a mysterious way, his wonders to perform..." We ought to remember that all of the plans for our lives are designed to display God to those around us, and even to ourselves that they might come to know him and love him.

So if God's mysterious movings in our lives take us somewhere else, these grasshoppers will stretch their legs and jump again.
