I don't like uncertainty. Who does, anyway? Of course life always holds some level of uncertainty. But this state I'm currently living in - Will I go back to Kenya this week? Are things well enough for me to go? Would it truly be more of a burden for them to have another person there to be responsible for? Would I not be able to pray more effectively when I'm there, in my community? is frustrating.
Friends ask, "Can you join us at such-and-such a time for this-or-that?" Perhaps. If I'm here.
I've made a deliberate choice not to live in a constant state of wishing I was somewhere else. I'm loving the time with family. But I'm not supposed to be here. I am supposed to be in Kenya. I know that. Despite the news that's coming from the country.
Please pray that the doors will open for me to return to Kipkaren this wek!
Adele,
ReplyDeleteI hear your frustration. But know that God orchestrates all our comings and goings, and He let you go home, so cool your jets Sister!
I was just thinking last night that I am glad you were not alone in your little house during the uprising. Those young warrior-wannabes know where you live, and that you *are* living there by yourself. Maybe He's protecting his precious Sister by keeping you anxious but safe in South Africa!
Adele - We continue to keep you and all the people of Kenya in our prayers. We pray for peace and comfort for all. God Bless ~melissa
ReplyDeleteHi Adele! Keep meditating on Ephesians 4! I know God will use this time to prepare you for what He wants to do through you when you return!
