Have they tools ready.
God will find the work.
Charles Kingsley

I am so proud of you. You are incredibly talented and gifted. God has given you so many unique gifts and a heart to use them.

I am confident in your ability to excel at the task God has set before you here in Germany. You are very smart and can see your way through to solutions. You work hard on tasks that you are given and have the ability to streamline and simplify tasks so that they can be done more quickly and easily. You see chaos and then can visualize the order that the chaos can become. In this respect you share the image of God who brought order and beauty out of the chaos of the universe. You have a heart for God and are willing with humility to apply the truth of God's word to your life. You also have great wisdom and insight to apply God's truth to others. Your keen mind sees through confusion to discern truth.

You are steadfast and loyal. You are self-sacrificing in your love for others:me, the kids and friends - and so many others. You are giving and generous. You stick to your convictions and are faithful.

You are also silly and fun to be with. You have great gifts of hospitality and use your love of others and humor to make others feel loved and cared for, to make them feel welcome and at home.

These are just some of the "tools" in the toolbox God has given you. I know that you will use them well, bringing glory to God.

I am so proud of you! Duncan
