My son Daniel and Ben Petersen went to Houghton MI to visit Daniel and Staci Cerminaro this weekend. First long trip without parents or youth leaders.
This has been a summer of many goodbyes: Cerminaros moved to the UP, the Alleys to Maine and the Mortons to Wyoming. It is in these times that you hold on to prophetic words such as this one.
You understand what it means to be an offering. You have chosen to give and not hoard. To release what you cannot hold on to. You have an understanding of a kingdom principle that few grasp. For those that come in are meant to go out. Every resource is meant to release and distribute, you have not been selfish or extravagant, but have given all for my kingdom. For I have made you a drinkoffering for many and you will be poured time and time again. And many will come and many sent out. People, resources, provision. I will make you a place of refuge, recovery, healing and release. This place will be a place of shelter from the storm. For since you have held open hands with the things I have given you, I will make you a source of relief and blessing to many.
