As you know our route has gotten changed from being in Thailand to now being in the Philippines. If I am being honest with you…this month has been a very hard month for me so far. For those who don’t know I have a huge heart for Africa. Leaving Africa has been so hard for me. Let me explain a little more of why it has been so hard for me. While I was in Rwanda God spoke to me one morning during worship at church. God said to me “You are home.” At first I was confused on what He meant…I didn’t know if He meant Rwanda specifically or if He meant Africa in general. The next day one of my teammates heard from God as well and she heard the same words that I did “You are home, and you will bring the unity to the people.” She told me that this word was for me. It was then that I knew God was meaning Rwanda. This is why it was so difficult for me to leave Rwanda because I know I am meant to be in Rwanda. I am still praying through why God is calling me back to Rwanda and making sure that this is Gods plan for my life and not just something that I want. I think God is trying to teach me about being patient in Him and waiting on His timing. I am having to come the realization that I have to wait on Him. I am learning that God wants me in Asia and then in Europe for a reason that He wants to teach me something to prepare me for Rwanda later on. It is so hard to wait and be patient because I am the kind of person who wants it now and I don’t want to wait but I am learning 🙂 After being here in the Philippines for almost a week things are getting better for me. I have been asking God to change my heart and to give me a heart for the Philippines and I can see the change that He has done. I am getting more excited about being here and God is giving me a peace that I will be back in Rwanda one day and that I just need to be patient and wait. I am slowly learning how to love the Philippines and to be patient and wait on Gods timing. I am excited to see what is going to happen in results to this. Love Jaime
