welcome back!

4 days without internet has left me without an update.
what was an annoyance in the house was very intentional to Jesus.
and yes, i was one of them.
however, overall, it was very good, and much needed.




we went without electricity for 24 hours too.
i was able to say, now this is africa.
we had devotions by candle light and praised God in the dark.


one thing i have learned in africa is how to worship more freely.
clapping, jumping, smiling, singing... (no rolling yet, and not quite as unrestricted as brother franklin, and if you don't know who i am referring to, youtube 'offering time with brother franklin' now. like now.)


God has been good to me here in africa. too good that it is painful. its hard to describe, and its best left un-described but i will tell you the meaning of 'meeting Him in the middle' and being confident of His faithfulness and promises has reached new heights.


im mentally exhausted and emotionally tapped out.
but when i have nothing left, He meets me.
we went to gaba community church this past sunday and i have to say i was never so happy to be in a westernized church.
worship was phenomenal.
i was fed.
and i actually had the opportunity to be apart of the baby dedications.
they invited the missionaries to come up to pray and i was the only one that decided to bite the bullet.
i never know when i will have the opportunity to experience this type of prayer again, and i am so glad God gave me confidence.
i held the little newborn boy in my arms and watched him sleep.
apparently the whole service is caught on tape? 11AM service- gaba community church- i still can't find it.
here are a few of the experience

and i got to meet pastor peter after.  he said 'ohhh D5, D5!!'
thanks papa neil for getting us connected!
