Strength

Will I only know the Lords strength when I am weak? It seems to often that we only seek God in times of weakness. It seems like he is the closest then. The he is always close! On this trip I have really learned a lot on relying on God for my strength. I have also learned a lot about spiritual disciplines. Prayer, journaling, devotional, I have learned a great deal that I will take on for decades.

Today we woke up before the sun was up. I didn’t sleep to well. I had a stick that was under the tent, right in the middle of my back. It made sleeping a bit difficult. We got everything packed up and we were out of simondeli by 8:00. I slept until we got to Nyawa central. We dropped of one of our translators, Veronica. And got some more buns. I slept for most of the remaining trip as well. We stopped at Rhapsodies for lunch. It was a very refreshing treat to eat a cheeseburger and a cold fanta. I got some chocolate. Then we finished the drive back to base. Then we unloaded the trucks then took a SHOWER! The first one in a week. I don’t think that I have ever enjoyed a shower has ever felt so good in my life.
