As a teen, God gave me the seemingly random opportunity to hear Marjorie Saint Van Der Put, my first exposure to Mission Aviation Fellowship, and suffering for the cause of the Gospel by people more recent than the New Testament. (If you don’t know this story, I highly recommend the book Through Gates of Splendor.) God was preparing me for the deeds He had prepared in advance for me to do, and for trusting Him with my husband, knowing that He doesn’t promise physical safety. If I have learned anything on this journey, it is that we have an appointed time when we will enter eternity, and until then my husband is kind of invincible.
