Could it be you?

Years ago, a young John Mills wooed me with his guitar and his own love songs. Somehow it didn't matter that he'd written most of those songs for other girls --- after all, he was singing them to me at the time! One of my favorites was "Could it be you?" A few lines can give you the flavor...

Could it be you?
Just an old friend from my past
Come to show me how
Good love could be
Could it be you?

Could it be real?
And not a flash in the pan
Could it be that you
Feel like I feel
Could it be real?

Could it be love?
The one to last for all time
Could it be that I've
Waited long enough
Could it be love?

There are a few other verses, but you get the idea. The song is asking if you could be the one to love me forever. Well, needless to say, I said "Oh, YES! It IS me!" And nearly 18 years later, I'm happy to say that I still want to be the one to show John how good love can be and to be the love in his life to last for all time. But that's not really the point of this post.

The question is, "Could it be you?" that God is calling to continue the ministry here in Ocosingo. Our Partners in Ministry received my email "An Invitation" inviting each of them to prayerfully consider if God could be calling them to serve here in Ocosingo for 2-5 years. If you did not receive the invitation and want to know more, please comment on this post, and we'll follow up with you. Indeed we have learned to trust that God will decide (not John and Ginny) who should step forward next. So...

Could it be you?
