More than sticky!



Today we attended  a church service at the Rose of Sharon
was awe.some worshipping with the people here, and even though we don't all know the language, we discussed how God knows ourhearts are worshipping Him, even if we are stumbling through the words.
It is very hot here and for some of us that was very uncomfortable, but we are blessed to have a great place to come back to to relax and cool down.
Everyone we have encountered here has welcomed us warmly. We toured the school and went to lunch at the Pastor's house. They have all taken great care of us and we are all really enjoying our time here so far.
The most challenging part of today for most of us was the fact that it was so hot and
sticky that we had sweat dripping down our backs. We kept saying that it has been hot in  Michigan but really it is much hotter and stickier here. You really don't know what it is like until you get here. I think there are a lot of things in life like that. God is calling you to do something that you're scared of, or you think its going to be one way and you find out later that it is totally different than you thought. Whether good or bad, He has gone before you and wants you to trust Him and follow His plan. In this case yes, its hot, but the people, the children, the realization of a calling you know has been given by Him, far outweigh a little discomfort.
