Resting Clouds

Clouds sitting upon the mountains in the morning sun as we drive to our destination. Silence fills the vehicle this morning, not from being tired, but just from peace. Peaceful thinking of what lies ahead of us for today. But as the clouds settle further into the mountains we reach our location. Back to our regular routine with door to door Evangelism, it’s strange that we can now call that a routine. I don’t think we’d ever be able to call it a routine in Canada. But off we went on our normal day, this time my group was with Julia and two of our friends from Malawi, Dorothy and Rhoda. We went into one mans house who was already a Christian, his shirt full of bible verses. As soon as I saw his shirt it brought a smile to my face, but once we were invited inside I shared my testimony. He loved the encouragement, but it wasn’t the fact that we did anything amazing in his life that he is being put into my blog today. Not at all because we only simply had a conversation, but this conversation was all I really needed for today to remind me, God is good. From that conversation I learnt the simple joy of God children, he is just one of many Christians in the world, and we have so many more waiting to be discovered. We are not alone, nor will we ever be. Just talking to him showed me that. Showed me that we are reaching out to people and inviting God into their life, but for some people they are reaching into our lives and changing our lives with God. For that I am forever thankful. God is good, good indeed. 

Our day of Evangelism came to a close early afternoon and as we gathered to eat and play some games we joined in community. Our new little family in Malawi. Julia was feeling sick all day with a sore stomach, so she wasn’t as full into the games which made me sad that she couldn’t enjoy it. But after a while I too became sick and was not feeling 100%. So I soon relaxed in my chair with Julia, feeling her pain. Our ride soon came after my stomach began to turn, and as we sat in the vehicle Augustin asked if I was tired and I replied with, “No, I just feel sick.” Taylor being the best daddy I could have on this trip soon took my shoulder to comfort the bumpy ride for me. Not even thinking he was there for me as soon as I said I was uneasy. What a great guy eh? I felt so loved in the simplest way of just resting a hand on my shoulder to comfort my rocky ride. I love my team, I couldn’t be more blessed with these goofs in my life.

But as the evening passes and Julia is sound asleep next to me, I pray she gets better so we can have a fun evening tonight to finish up our day.

Prayers are always needed for health here in Africa! It'd be greatly appreciated for us!
