Fully funded and South Africa!

So working here in South Africa has
been awesome. Waking up to screaming toddlers wasn’t what I expected, but then
again we have learned to lose all expectations on the race. But it’s cool cause
it really is the perfect way to unconditionally love. I mean I don’t know how
mom’s did it but checking eight toddlers diapers let alone changing them has me
loving unconditionally loving these kids. Also seeing them cry when I have to
put them in time out isn’t always nice either. I finally feel sometimes what
parents feel when they will sometimes do anything to get their children to like
them. Not saying that I’m doing that it’s just hard to see them happy and then
screaming in terror of going to their beds’. But
again and again we have been so blessed as a team to be here. One awesome
blessing was meeting pastor Gordon at Rema Church in a nearby community.  He has done something that I have never seen
back home in the states. After meeting us at a Christmas function they were
having for the kids at his Rema Church he ended up taking us all to dinner at
mug and bean.

Now maybe people do this a lot back
home and I just don’t see it. For real how often do we as individuals take a
group of strangers out to dinner and these strangers being from another
country. It was awesome to be loved in such a way by the body of Christ.

It just reminds me again the
importance of community.  The body of
Christ is everywhere. We don’t need to worry about being alone if God calls us
to go and move to bring about change in our lives as his beloved children.

 children, how much more will
your heavenly father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in
everything law and unto other what you would have them do to you, for this sums
up the Law and the Prophets. ” Matt.7: 11-12

Father bless all who are reading
this blog. Remind them that you love them. Remind us all that money never
satisfies. Satisfaction only comes from you and the love from the body of Christ.
It’s only by loving and serving that we have joy that lasts; the joy that comes
from you father. Bless my friends and family and everyone reading. Thank you
for always being faithful and giving us what we need and even the desires our
hearts. I pray all this in Jesus name amen.
