Ahh, it’s time to slow down and rest. Just for a few days, but it’s still nice. I’m currently at debrief in Malawi. It’s a nice change of pace to be able to just relax and enjoy the country I’m in, instead of having ministry every day. Don’t get me wrong, I love ministry, but it’s like anything, it’s fun some days and it’s a job other days. (#thelawofundulation) These past few days have been sublime. From tea time with friends to long walks on the beach, I have been refilled and rejuvenated.
Whenever I have time to rest and reflect, God always speaks to me. Lately, he’s been giving me a fighting spirit (the good kind) and determination. Since I’ve been at debrief however, he has been telling me to slow down. Many times, I get caught up in what’s going on around me and I miss things. (My three hour long game of chess yesterday is proof that I can miss little things. I’ll get your queen next time Kendall!!!) I feel as if God is telling me to slow my roll and just see what is around me. You could say that God is telling me I should be taking my time on my ride. To do this, I spend a lot of time alone in the early mornings. It’s been nice to be able to walk down to the beach and listen to my music without anyone else around. This has also allowed me to dance on the water’s edge without the chance of someone seeing me. (I worship best through music and movement. Hence why I miss ballet back home.)
Now, I’m going to get off my phone and go do something, but I will remember to take it slow. Love and blessings to everyone back home, and I hope that y’all remember to take it easy sometimes.
