Do NOT tremble; do NOT be afraid. Have I not proclaimed from ages past what my purposes are for you? You are my witnesses--is there any other God? No! There is no Rock--not one!

Isaiah 44: 8

 

While Billy was traveling the last 8 days in South Sudan, the girls and I had lots of conversations, about WHY daddy had to go.  This verse, that I have found now after his return sums it up...Daddy went to be a witness (we talked about this lots!!!) to the One True God and our job was to NOT be afraid, but pray for him as he shared Jesus' love.

 

 

Jesus sweetly shared friends with us to encourage and bless us as we prayed for our witness who was far away (some we got photos with, many we missed)...Katie made Lucy's supper one night into a happy face!

 

For this journey...this was her happy face

(she had a hard week missing daddy).

 

Amelie (a new friend from GB) was a great joy

when she came to visit and play with us!!!

 

Beatrice came to check on us!!!  The twins were happy

 to pose with her while they chewed on their mandazi!

 

Jacob Wafler was a big help multiple times,

but the girlies especially appreciated his good night hugs

after his family came for dinner one night! :)

 

We got to be witnesses too (the girls were overjoyed!!!). They were delighted to let Billy know on his return that they had been like missionaries while he was away being a missionary! :)  Wish they could stay four and three forever...SUPER FUN ages! We got to share Jesus love with some friends in town and some neighbors near by as well!!!

 

Where has Jesus called you today? Are you afraid to obey? He has told us for ages His purposes...to be witnesses for Him...right where He has you!  There is no other Rock---not one!!!
