south africa.

 

  

 

i woke up this morning really missing south africa. the trip we took there in 2008 was truly life changing. on that trip i felt the freedom and redeeming power of God's grace. ryan and i had conversations about our future i will never forget. and with every day that passed, my heart grew more and more passion for the world. i saw sadness and struggled with injustice. but i also saw beautiful relationships form. i saw children who were grateful that we just wanted to give attention and love on them. while i was there i spent so much time meditating on these words:

The Lord replied,

"Look around at the nations;

look and be amazed!

For I am doing something in your own day,

something you wouldn't believe

even if someone told you about it."

-Habakkuk 1:5

i am grateful that God has a vision for this world. it's beyond my understanding and, at times, more confusing than i want it to be. but, i believe it is good. He is moving. 

i think part of missing south africa is missing campus crusade and our friends and community there. ryan and i often must help to remind one another that we are here, in dc, for a purpose. God has called us here, and i'm not yet sure why. doesn't God know i want answers quickly?! but, church this week spoke to my impatience:

"This vision is for a future time.

It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled.

If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently,

for it will surely take place.

It will not be delayed."

-Habakkuk 2:3

i am not sure what God has in store for ryan and i. i'm not sure how He is using us. but i am excited about it.
