He's bigger than my anxiety of the unkown, bigger than my forgetfulness and the gap in my organizational skills, bigger than the barrel of missing qualities I imagine will make me the perfect missionary or Christian, and bigger than the unwelcomed loneliness that swoops down on weekends.
He is big enough to take me to a mountain, big enough to reach His arms around me when I stand in the middle of a vast field and big enough to hold up my head on a bustling street.
I am back doing the activites I enjoy in Parika -teaching Ody, doing church stuff, connecting with kids and grown-ups in the community, and watching (a few minutes of) Nigerian movies with Tim and Beeno.
Construction has picked up again -when we decided to continue building, God started providing the flow of funds. It is satisfying to see the work move forward in a physical sense.
I'll be in Florida for a global missions conference from Jan.27 – Feb. 3rd. http://www.call2all.org/ Hooray for high-speed internet, washing machines, and Starbucks! I'm sure the conference will be good, too.
God bless you. -Em
