to go or to stay?

This was the question that dominated our thoughts earlier in the year. Should we offer to stay for another two year appointment or is it time to go back to Australia?

In reflecting on our dilemma, it occurred to me that it's one many of us face multiple times in our lives. Should we stay? Or is it time to move on?

We all want to make the right decision, the wisest decision, the decision that would be best for the gospel and bring glory to Christ. We all want to do God's will.

How do we make that decision? How to we find God's will?

Over the next few days, I thought I'd just share how we worked through this decision, this time. It was difficult.

It was easier back in 2008 when we were appointed until the end of this year. However, by the end of that year I was sitting on my bed, weeping, begging God to do something so that we wouldn't have to come back after the Christmas break. But back we came. I was convinced it would be for the last time.
