Africa Update #5: Perfect Imperfection - July 29, 2009

So I don't have very many thoughts right now but I thought I'd share something that I wrote about our team. We sat one day discussing the different paths taken to get to Ghana, so I wrote about. I'll elaborate more later :)


Perfect Imperfection

We are imperfect people
From an imperfect place.
Brought together in imperfect ways
But through God's loving grace.

Who is the one who's perfect?
Who created everything?
The author of the book of life
Whose praises we do sing?

Who is the perfecter of our faith?
Who wrote out all life's plans?
Who lays the journey before us
Then guides us with his hands?

He is God our creator,
To his promises we cling.
He is author of our lives,
It's of his grace we sing.

Through his gentle guidance
This journey came about.
It is through God's will and love
That we met here, no doubt.

Different paths were taken,
Some unexpectedly,
Holding to expectant faith
God made us wait and see.

Now that we've come together
To serve with all our heart,
God has blessed us with each other,
He'll bind us when we part.Ghanaian and American Navs team that traveled to NkumThe American Navs teamThe personalities God blessed our team with :)
