Those of you who know me, know that I crave, desire, love closure. As the years go by however, more and more things in my life remain continually open, rather than closed, decided, final. I find myself longing for a “time” when everything is “known”, “set”, or “for sure” but am realizing that even if all was known, it would not satisfy. Because once one matter is settled another opens up!
So, where do I turn for rest and peace in the midst of the “unknown” factors in my life? To the only source of true lasting peace, the Creator God Himself. I must admit that this is not a new revelation and some of you are probably wondering, dah Murphy, welcome to the planet. But for me, knowledge is one thing, applying it to my daily life, another.
Our lives as missionaries seem to be in limbo all the time. We are “between” things often and there is no rest if I have to have closure first.
These days, God is working on my heart to have peace and rest in the midst of the “unknown”, unforeseeable future. Pray for me, that I may put my knowledge to work in my heart and discover inner peace in the midst of outward uncertainty.

Hey Murphy,
I love your heart brother! My God give you peace. May He reveal to you all that you need to know. May He give you contentment in trusting Him in those areas that are not critical for you to understand at this time. May you continually seek Him and His will for your life. May your all out trust in Him lead you to a peace that passes understanding. Blessings to you my friend!
