We're back from our 1-month stay in East Africa! What an amazing time we had. It's going to be difficult to communicate all that took place either online forum or even in person.
What a life-changing experience. This is the fourth time that I've had the privilege to travel over the past years. While my passport continues to gather stamps, God teacher me how creative He is and how much He loves all people. He also told me that I am loved, even though I don't always show my love for Him. He revealed to me that He wants to know me better and that I've been too content with my relationship with Him. I've plateaued in some sense. I could make excuses as to why: busy schedule, tiredness, blah blah blah. The bottom line is that I need to pursue Him as much as He has pursued me.
We had the opportunity to make many new friends, go on a safari, see monkeys on a college campus as regularly as we see squirrels, and most precious of all, we were privileged enough to be used as tools to bring one of His sheep into the flock. The strangers who traveled with me, I now count them as friends, hopefully for life. I'll forever hold on to the sweet times of worship, giddy laughter, and tears of hurt and sorrow that we all shared together. What great brothers and sisters they all are.
Sandra and I have a lot of stories to tell, so please come and see us. We want to share all that God has done! Or, if we come into your city, please ask us some probing questions. Again, we want to tell the chapters and events that we watched that make up part of His story.
I hope everyone's summer is going extremely well. I'll start posting some pictures soon for you to enjoy Peace!
