TESTIMONIES:
As a parent, seeing your child decide to go to Master's Commission will probably be one of the greatest moments in parenting history. Knowing that their heart is willing ready to respond to the calling of God is very assuring.
Henry Nouwen says in his book The Return of the Prodigal Son , that “leaving home” is listening to any voice that draws you out to a distant country. The pursuit of a career, a relationship, fame, fortune, or anything that draws you to find fulfillment outside of the will of God is “leaving home”. Nouwen says that “coming home” is finding that place in the core of your being where you can hear the voice of the Father saying you are my beloved and on you my favor rests.
I know that if my son would have stayed here he would have “left home”. His choosing to go to Cincinnati 's Master's Commission was his “Coming Home”
The only true words to describe how I feel as a parent are “Thank you, Jesus”
Gratefully Yours,
Kari Buishas
