Greetings everyone! Hope you all are having a good week so far. I must begin by apologizing for not updating you all sooner. I have no excuse other than I need to get used to this blogging lifestyle. I forget about it as I share with people individually but I promise I am trying to get better at updating you all more often.
We are currently in North Africa, we have been here for a little over a week and have one more month to go. I absolutely love this place! It reminds me of Mexico so much. The people, the landscape, the million little side stores on every corner, the food, etc… The more time I spend here the more I see the similarities and the more I am falling in love with this city. It has been so much fun learning how to do this whole World Race thing here. It is almost like the Lord gave me a safe place to start figuring things out and I couldn’t be more thankful. People keep asking about the crazy stories and the crazy miracles that we have seen so here are all the things that have happened in this last few weeks:
We have a washing machine in the little place we found for the month and the natural heat helps the laundry dry in no time so doing laundry is easy.
We have been able to meet people and have conversations while we speak completely different languages.
We learned to make bread and the famous tea they drink here.
We have grown together as a team and learned how to love one another well.
We have been able to prayer walk this place over and over again.
We have prayed and gotten visions and words for people to then see them come to pass as we go out and listen to what God is saying.
We have had random cravings like beans or cheese and without asking we got beans and cheese.
We have seen the Lord provide not just physical needs but also He continues to meet us where we need Him the most.
We have laughed so hard over and over again I think we are getting real ab workouts.
We have been able to pray for healing over people and see them be healed.
We have been able to go out for runs or get a workout here and there.
We have made our inside joke list longer which shows joy is not lacking in this house.
We have eaten more fruits and veggies than I thought we would.
We have the bus route down and we seem to be experts in how to move around the city (at least we like to think we are ??)
See I could continue to write a list that could go on and on but I think you are getting my point. I think above all I am learning to see the Father in all the little things because those are crazy miracles as well. The more I walk with Him the more I realize I don’t want to miss Him in the everyday life details because I am constantly looking for the next mountaintop experience. I continue to be reminded that if we stop and look we can see Him in everything we do and see.
