8 Days Till AFRICA

My Beautiful wife Heather leaves for Swaziland and Mozambique Africa in 8 days, it's a very different feeling to know that she will be all the way across the world without me for a period of two weeks, but also a great feeling to know that she will have one of the most amazing ministry opportunities she has ever experienced. VBS for the children, sharing the message of Christ with these precious children is one of the biggest blessings God has ever allowed me to be apart of and I'm extremely excited that she will be able to share in that blessing. When you go to Africa or an overseas mission trip you will always get so much more out of it than you give while you are there, it's not a self centered thing but something God does to shift your heart towards his perspective. You learn how blessed you are and how much God has given us. And you also learn how much God wants you to use your blessings to bless others less fortunate. These precious orphans have nothing but they have everything, alot of times in America we have so much but inside we have so little. As I get older I see constantly the effects of trying to gain material stuff and wealth here on earth, it all fades and never satisfies. There is nothing wrong with having stuff as long as the stuff does not have you. While she is gone in Africa I know that God will show her amazing things, reveal to her parts of her heart that she never knew could feel the way it will when she holds the children, sees the suffering and See's the joy. Laughs and Cry's all in the same moment. I did everyday I was there. Africa is such an amazing place it captured my heart. It's a neat thing to know that while I'm home my other half will be traveling all the way there having her heart captured as well. It's 8 days till Africa, if you read this post please keep Heather in your prayers and the team going, they are going to need all the prayer that can be lifted up. With Lot's of long hours and many days of pouring themselves out for the work there, God has to be the center of all that is done. While she is gone I will keep post coming of what is going on while she is away and what is happening while she is there. Again all the prayers and support are greatly appreciated.
