God's Grace!

Last week was a week of new things J I learned how to do laundry African style and how to have the squirts in a squatty lol.  When it comes to chores I feel like a little kid learning how to clean all over again because everything is done so different here J it’s awesome!!
God is so good!!!  I have a hard time with adjusting to change weather it is good or bad. This was one thing that I was scared of, knowing I was moving to Africa. Thank God that He is bigger than all my fears, because God has come through in great ways! I still have my days and moments where it is hard and I’m still adjusting to the culture but God has given me such grace and enabled me to adjust in such a great way.  It is all by His grace and love! It is true that I can do ALL THINGS through God who gives me strength.
If you have watched Mega Mind then you will understand this next comment I’m about to say, for a long time I felt like the blue person in the midst of others.  I felt very lonely even though I came with my best friend. God is good though, I’m slowly becoming friends with a few people and they are teaching me Swahili.  God is showing me once again how ministry isn’t just this thing that happens on Sunday or in a planned setting but it happens every day all the time even in a class room setting. 
How do I love? This has been the question that has been ringing in my head over and over again. “Do as I do” is the response I keep getting. Jesus washed the feet of the disciples; we are to do the same.  Serve one another, care for each other, live selfless lives. This is love.
