8 Min Read I am sure you know the feeling. You are standing on the edge of a mountaintop, overlooking a vast plain. Perhaps Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa; or Mount Nebo, overlooking the Jordan River and the hills of Judah; or the foothills of the Rocky Mountains; or any other mountaintop. It is a beautiful day, and you have a great view. You can see people, houses, land, lakes, perhaps the sea—but definitely space, lots and lots of space. There is an air of excitement, new possibilities; new beginnings are just around the corner. A new job. A new opportunity to serve. A new country to live in. A new language to learn. A new year.
