“The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.” ~ Psalms 145:8
Although I have left my family, my friends, and the majority of my worldly possessions behind in Canada, I have been unable to leave behind the numerous wounds my heart still endures. My challenge therefore has been to allow them to come to the surface so that God can heal them, while not letting them jeopardize my current internship and ministry. But, in his kind way, God has shown me that this healing process is part of my life right now; it’s just being played out on an African stage. And he has been working! It is hard to even put into words the grace he has bestowed on me; my tears have been ones of sorrow, but also joy. Praise be to his Name! Guilt and shame have been denied stay, thus leaving more room for the affection of my Lord. May the weariness that my heart feels this day be drowned out by the joyful melodies of my spirit. Amen.
