South Africa
Peace, Pain, and Perserverance in South Africa!
Peace, it envelopes me like a fluffy cloud by the ocean in Jeffreys Bay!
Then then wind comes throughout the day and it whisks it away
The peace then is replaced with pain
Pain that is a result of worry about things that I really have no control over-like fundraising
God, he is the one in control-he called me to this world race journey and to this country of South Africa!
The ball is in his court, but I often times want a turn with the ball- I want to make the basket, I want to win!
Letting God be in control is a conundrum at times
I have been feeling like I have a mask on, hiding my eyes from the things that God is doing in my life
Is he moving? Is he doing anything? Is anything happening?
Unsure is the word, I don’t like not knowing whats going on in my own life
Perserverance, no matter what waves that have been crashing in the vessel of my mind, or the things that occur or don’t occur.
I have decided to push thru the hard stuff and persevere thru the pain caused by not knowing what God is up to in my life.
Peace, Pain, and Perserverance, All things I am walking thru, in this 3rd month of the world race in beautiful Jeffreys Bay South Africa!
Comma Cosa Cosa!
What is in a name?
Its more that what others call us
Its who we are, it pieces the puzzle together of our identity!
We are all different, and the way we carry ourselves is a wonderful mixture of who we are and the names we are given!
Beats and books, its a ministry thats so meaningful-its vibrant, full of life, love and joy!
We get to do all sorts of things during our time with them!
We get to learn new songs and one of them is about names!
It goes like this: C , I , M , O , N , E ,
Comma Cosa Cosa!
Uncomfort within The Comfort
Here in the beauty of South Africa
We are comfortable!
We have all the amenities:
The showers are hot, almost to the point where I have to turn it down!
The beds are comfy, we are able to get restful nights of sleep
We have access to foods that we thought would be scarce while on the race
We are only a few steps from wifi, that we can use pretty much any time
All those things are great and full of the comfort that was pretty unexpected
I have also been experiencing times of being uncomfortable
My mind and emotions though, have been experiencing a variety of different levels of uncomfort
Worries about my funds that haven’t been coming in like I would like for them too
States of unsureness of what God is up to in this season of my life, particularly this month.
Pieces of my personality/identitiy that I am working on handing over to the God who knows me inside and out.
