Resting in the Lord

Right now, we are facing a new place and the uncertainty that comes along with change. After our crazy journey, we now have time to rest in the Lord and seek His peace and guidance. In the few days that we have been here, we have seen the spiritual battle around us going strong. At times it has been discouraging, but we know the Christ has already claimed the victory and so we press on.

The pastor we are working with here had to go out of town for surgery. He’ll be gone for a few weeks which gives us time to get settled and work on a few things on our own. A lab for example. We hope to start a lab up on the mountain where the children’s home is located and will be researching what we need.

Being in a new place means dealing with a bit of culture shock again. No one here speaks English so it’s difficult for me to get around alone. It’s a good kick in the butt to start studying Kiswahili. Unfortunately, it means George is the one doing most of the work – getting food and supplies for our house, finding transportation and negotiating prices, etc.

It’s a lot to deal with all at once, but it has brought us closer to the Lord.
