My times are in Your hands.

Psalm 31:14

As I enter my nineties, I am letting go of some things that I engaged in up to now, especially the group that is walking with the leadership, staff and students of the Mennonite Theological College of East Africa.  This is a states-side group that is helping as able and appropriate.

I mention this because this morning our group met, as usual, except I was not there.   The group is in good hands and under the leadership of Ernie Hess and a wonderful group of people, it will be there to help the College.

I tend to be a tenacious person and would have hardly believed that my letting go of this assignment would have been such a wonderful experience for me.   Today I have no such negative feelings so praise the Lord and move on.

That is the mercy of God.  He knows my need, and the needs of all, and suits his assignments accordingly.  I am amazed the calmness I feel in my soul.  Anna Ruth is one with me as I make such adjustments that affect her as well.

God knows, prepares and gives such great comfort.  They are beloved people, one and all. I love them and know that they will do what God wants them to do.
