Day 6, Sickness and Soul Food

The words that broke through my nausea today: 

“No matter all the difficulties now I am facing because of being a Christian, I just know that God is with me, and I’m happy… And I’m willing to put my future in his hands, no matter where God will lead me.”

Oh my… I wish I could tell you more about this but I cannot, partly for security and partly because we are dealing with lurking illness here and we have all decided to go to bed early, and I’m already late. I can only say that I did not feel well physically today, but when I heard this story among others, it was an injection straight into my soul and I could not stop smiling.  At one point I had to look down at my backpack so people wouldn’t think my grin was early lunacy. 

Pray that we can feel the energy to keep on! 

My name below, written by a refugee today for me. Love it!  

(By the way, I am the lone soul who knows NO ARABIC. I think everyone else on this side of the world speaks Arabic, everyone. It’s an odd feeling. And a dependent feeling!)

  
And the view from our dining room window, note the grape arbor …. Good night!
