It's May of 2009, about a year since I was last in Mainz where I assisted in planting a church. Just a year, and much has changed. Recently God has been showing me how very short and how surprisingly eventful a year can be. The last five years of my undergraduate study have flown by, and now I'm proudly graduated. Just five years.
I digress; being back here has been a huge blessing. We may typically grow impatient with God, expecting His provision today, this week, or at the very least this month. So often in the bible we hear of people who waited years, or life times, for God. He's slowly (which is perhaps fitting) teaching me this patience.
Seeing how God has moved in Mainz is perhaps part of this lesson. The church is active, and has already been used by God to bless others around the word, despite its small congregation.
Hopefully we'll all learn to wait on Gods time with the diligence, joy, and confidence that comes from faith in Christ.
