So, I've got some extra funds burning a hole in my savings account. There's enough to buy one round trip ticket to just about anywhere my heart desires. Where does my heart desire to go? Croatia, of course. However, I spoke with Stevo this morning and he thinks that the English camps would be too fast-paced and tiring for me. I'd have to agree. My heart may be up for anything, but this body is in need of down time and naps. Stevo speaks the truth in love well (at least he did this morning). He spoke the truth out of concern for me and the team as a whole and I felt even more loved at the end of the conversation than at the beginning. I won't being going to Croatia this summer, but I will be sending all my prayers, love, and support instead.
Our Lord is far too gracious to me. I am beyond blessed by those who, by God's grace, are able to lovingly speak the truth into my life.
15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. 16From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. - Ephesians 4:15 - 16 (NIV).
Originally, I was going to end this with only verse 15 (which I know may be somewhat out of context in this situation, but the concept of speaking the truth in love still applies), but verse 16 speaks so well about the parts we all play in working for the Kingdom as a whole.
