Thank you all for your prayers, they are felt, deep down inside of me and I just need to say that I have been filled with so much peace these last two days. God is faithful! I feel like I am learning so much, being pulled, stretched, TORTURED...okay, not really...but wow, there is so much in life to learn, so much to trust God with, so many ways to be renewed in the presence of God. I have been blessed with a friend named Sipelile, she has been such a blessing to have around. Both of us are away from home and miss the familiar. I think we have been placed together to support one another, and we have been. So many things have changed in only a day that have been so encouraging!
I've decided a few things in the past day that I would like to share with you. I have decided to let go of the past. Yeah, that may sound small, but it isn't really. The past has held me back, kept me believing lies from all the way back in grade school that I still recited to myself every time I was weak. Well, no longer...I now realize how much I have been given, by the absence of it. And really it is just a physical absence, because all that I love it still well and alive in this world, and my Father in heaven has never left either. I am learning to accept a Father's love. Believing that this Father of mine is truly loving and faithful. When I can pull myself out of my mind for only a moment I see that all is well - and it is. It is well with my soul.
I had ice cream today - that will be a rare occasion for me. We have one shopping store called shoprite - it has old veggies and then rows of processed foods and gadgets. Take one sixth of FRY'S and that is the size of the store. I am thinking of starting my own veggie garden once I get to my house. We have been in Kabwe, Zambia, training a group from here and I will go back to The Farm on Friday night and hope to move into my home in Luanshya on Saturday. I think that will as well do much to help me settle. I am still living out of a suitcase - for the last two months or so, and don't like being like that - I want a home!
Thanks again for everything! I thank my God upon Every remembrance of you!
