For me, the past year has included unexpected joys and surprising pains in both my personal life and my work life. I’ve realized, as I write a series about healing at work, that I have a testimony to share. I’ve met the healing of God in a new way this year, in a way that has everything to do with my sense of vocation, my work, and the ministry of Mission Central.

I’m at a bit of a loss for how to tell this story, especially when sharing it in such a public venue. To tell the story of this past year, I have to tell at least some of the story of the past twenty years. So forgive me for what will, no doubt, be the longest blog post I’ve ever written. But I feel convicted that I need to share what the Lord has done, not least to do right by everyone who has helped and prayed for Katie and me along the way. Why not just put it in the form of a post that my personal and work network will read? I pray that this story of God’s work in our lives will give you a touchpoint for thinking about how he’s been at work in yours.

So, here goes nothing.
