Culture Shocks
Wow, exhausted!
My dear friend from London just left and hour ago, and it was a crazy two days! It was wonderfl to see him, fun to do some music with him, to connect, and such a blessing to encourage him in his ministry! Having three babies in the house at one time (along with our own brood!) was a little tiring. I hardly remember how it's done, day after day after day after day. No wonder people go grey as they age.
So now the house is quieter again, with Buttons laying beside me on the mattress here, and the click of the keyboard as I type this. I feel for my friend: ministry can be pretty lonely all on its own, though having a wife sure helps. But his role must be the epitome of loneliness. Immersed in a different culture, and all the while his own people are fighting him. Lord, please bless him, and help him as he seeks you and serves you.
I still feel stressed about not having much work to do, but I leave it in your hands as always Lord. Please help me to not take on the responsibility of providing for my own needs. Faith is trusting you in the hard times not just the easy times.
It will be so good to have our own bed back!
