What a wonderful three days it has been with Aaron here at Stanford; entering into the just praise and frequent celebrations of all he has accomplished in the oh-so-brief 2 years here. As I asked the Lord to show me how to best participate in this, his final day at Stanford, and the culmination of an amazing chapter in Aaron's life, I received the following:
“who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions” Heb 11:33
- Aaron has by faith done all of these things, and his faith has grown by the repeated choice to step into, to choose, and to do, really difficult and dangerous things.
- The Lord will trust him with similar acts of faith at Oxford as he continues to live at the intersection of his heart's desires, God’s gifts and life.
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love.” 1 Cor 16: 13-14
This is the blessing and the call as Aaron follows God’s call into a new land, a land he has not seen and where he must trust God to make a way, keep him safe, guide and direct him as he is a part of forging God’s kingdom on earth.
