There is real change happening here. It is not just (just!) the
whirlwind of moving our family to another country, the upheaval of unpacking,
the settling into our new apartment, the re-establishment of some sense of
routine and way of life. It is not just a new language, culture or worldview.
Sanctification is happening. Transformation. Glorious Change!
"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the
Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to
another." (2 Corinthians 3:18)
I am becoming more like Jesus. I am becoming more glorious. Is that ok to say?
Sounds almost blasphemous...but that's really what is right. I behold the glory
of the Lord (with my Christ-ripped-off-veil) and I am changed.
Somehow when all I crave in this chaotic country and new life is
routine, sameness, and easy familiarity this
change comforts me. This
promise, this reality excites me.
