Bonjour. It has been a great stay in Burkina. We have been plenty busy, but God's grace has always been sufficient! It's been so cool to see how God has given strength and courage each step of the way. At moments when I was struggling and tired and very hot, He would send a gentle breeze to give temporary relief. And when I wasn't sure how I was going to make it after 5 hours in the back of a non-air-conditioned SUV, we were blessed with a beautiful rain and much cooler temperatures.
Most days in the US I missed God's gifts of sufficiency. I'm so independent and lacking need. I've managed to create such pervasive comfort that I don't rely on Him. This is sad. Somehow, I must take steps of faith so I can walk with Him because I know that God is in the places that require faith.
We're off to Benin tomorrow. I'm eager to see Amy, Aeva and Pearce! I'm glad that we're on the last leg of the trip.
