To explain the blog title--let me teach you some Greek and take you back in time...
The Greek words, chronos & kairos, literally mean "time". Contrasting with chronos, meaning ordinary or chronological time, kairos (ki-ros) means holy or God-given time.
As some of you know, Todd & I lived & traveled aboard a sailboat from 1997-2001. When we resigned our jobs in '97, we weren't sure how long we would be gone. We figured it was up to God. Thus, we thought the appropriate name for our sailboat should be "Kairos".
The name held true for our boat. We traveled throughout the US East Coast & Bahamas and, quite often, our direction was determined by weather and/or places where we could serve--both initiated by God. Also, in His time, God revealed when we should stop sailing & return to land when Sara celebrated her 1st birthday in 2001.
And now, this journey toward a new liver & kidney is also in God's hands. So, as I was thinking about names for this blog, I had lots of ideas in my head. However, Kairos just seemed to fit again. When I heard the doctor's recommendation for a transplant, one of my first thoughts was "God will have lots of opportunities to teach me through this process". You see, I'm a detail-oriented person who likes to plan. As I explain this transplant process in later posts, you'll see why this can challenge me.
Welcome to my journey on Kairos time!
With love & gratefulness,
Belinda
