Spoken

Before my mom left our home this past Tuesday evening, the last time I would see her for the next 6 weeks, she said these words to me:

"Christ has no body on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion for the world is to look out; yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good; and yours are the hands with which He is to bless us now." ~Saint Teresa of Avila

Those words really spoke to me, especially in light of my upcoming trip, and were perfect coming from my mom. Moms always know just what you need, don't they?? :)

So how surprised was I when I logged into my mission trip account this morning to find those exact same words on the screen in front of me, put there by one of the fantastic ministries that we will be supporting while we are in Africa?! I had goosebumps. Literally.

I should not have been surprised though, really. God is telling me something, telling us all something. You just have to stop and listen...
