Tomorrow out of Africa


Four beautiful weeks, and now tomorrow I will be out of Africa.
Uganda, "The pearl of Africa," is where I am ending my trip, and though this is a lovely country, with welcoming people, my heart is left in South Sudan, and with it's people. I spent two week there, mainly teaching the YWAM DTS, which was an amazing experience. listening to God to direct sessions and doing one on ones with students, learning there stories and looking to God for answers for each of their situations. They grew to be fond of me as I grew to love them, touched by each and every one of their strong gentile spirits. 
 Leaving South Sudan was the difficult goodbye, I was truly tempted to let go of all else and never leave that wild land, It was a test in my faithfulness to the callings God has given me, and I have passed, overcoming my desire to stay put, knowing that God was growing a love that will make my move there in the future, all the more beautiful, pure and powerful.

 As I let go of Africa for now and try to prepare myself to reconnect with God's heart for Czech, I feel a little lost and emotionally tired, but because I know God to be faithful and finish what He has started, I can be sure that in no time I will be fighting for the light in Czech with all the passion and life of a poet.

For now I will travel and rest, waiting on God for another encounter with His heart to move me forward in His strength.

Praise the Lord for His faithfulness!

Bless you all, and thank you for praying for me. Continue praying for my transition!
