A woman tells about how ACTS has impacted her life during a community meeting we conducted.
Bird’s-eye view of my new location, Rubingo. My young friends Praise, Rachel and Judith (caretakers of co-worker’s children) accompanied me on this climb up the highest nearby hill.
So two weeks ago I packed up my tent/home in Bwesumbu, said goodbye to the staff and neighbours there, and was on my way to the new assignment. I thought that my previous job had me packing and moving a lot, but I have discovered a whole new level of nomadic living. At first I resisted it, grasping for stability. Now I’m learning to swim in the ebb and flow of relationships, locations and responsibilities, and not search for stability in where I lay my head at night.
And that brings me back to where I started – the only certain thing in life. While the saying holds some truth, it is lacking theologically. I am finding that the faster the whirlwind of change blows, the more I find God to be steady, faithful, never-changing and always there – just like he said.
I hope this has given you a little picture into my life recently, and if you also find yourself getting tossed about by the craziness of life, don’t forget the One who is certain!
The most incredible sunrise I’ve ever seen. It took my breath away, and even my “point-and-shoot” camera captured some of its magnificence. The sunrise reminds me of God’s consistency and presence as well as one of my favourite verses – Lam. 3:21-23 “Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
