coming home

I never leave Africa unchanged. This trip was unique: the fire seemed hotter, the mountain steeper, and the rain constantly ill timed. Maybe it felt this way because I was alone or I felt alone whether I was really alone or not. But when there's no way out but up certain things happen.

Consider this: Right out of the gate Moses led his people into a dead end. Literally, they were about to be killed. Imagine the amount of responsibility he must have felt. Imagine how defeated he must have been. And the people complained because they couldn't see what was really happening.

God breathed on the water and showed His strength. And by going through it they were saved.

When it seems like we are trapped in our own mistakes and inabilities...we are.

The way out is not retreating; the way out is not creating a new way; the way is through His strength...

 Just when you thought you were a failure He provides dry solid ground, just to show you that He who can part water cares about you.

Can't wait to get home and tell you guys all about it.

GOD is Greater
