I am now sitting through our layover in Abu Dhabi, UAE as we move on to India. What a change from the rugged African nature to the religiously respectable atmosphere of an Arab country.
Yesterday we said goodbye to my beautiful Africa. I knew I would love her this much. A continent of such deep passion and resiliency. Reminds me a lot of myself. Africa has changed the way I will live out the rest of my life. God met me there in so many unexpected ways. Most of the time through pain, other peoples’ and my own. The Lord has set before me new mindsets and challenges. The first and most important; seeking Him first in ALL that I do, from ministry and daily logistics, down to thoughts, attitudes, perceptions, conversations, you name it, He has to be first. His wisdom in every situation outweighs my ability to make my life glorify Him. I hope to blog further about all that the Holy Spirit is doing inside of me.
So now we are off to India. I doubt that these next 5-6 weeks will be any less than what I have experienced in Africa.I serve a good God. I’m not entirely sure of the ministry yet except an orphanage and a Lepar colony are involved!
