So they landed

I got an e-mail today forwarded from my mom saying that they landed in Africa and are safe. This makes me extremely happy because there is no greater feeling than knowing that a loved one has landed safely in a foreign country, especially after a 15 hour flight.

The last line of the e-mail started with a P.S. "It's like something out of a movie, can't wait to tell you about it." I can only imagine what they are feeling. Annie has always wanted to go to Africa I bet she never thought she'd get there, God does strange things.

To me in my insignificance and my skittish nature, it almost seems impossible to me that people in my own home community let alone strangers would give me money for missions. Though they would know that they get an eternal reward, a lot of people look for instant reward. Then again these are just my faithless thoughts that I pray to never let enter my contemplation again. Because I know if I try if I just "give it a shot" anything could happen. The faith of a mustard seed right?

All I know is God will be doing great things through Annie and Brian in these next three weeks. I can't wait to hear how he worked through them. I can't wait until it's my turn, although I will wait patiently. I'm so excited because I know it's going to be more amazing, possibly beyond words. Praise God for keeping everyone safe.

Peace.
