After 2 days of brushing my teeth in public bathrooms, sleeping in all kinds of interesting positions in the airport seats, and traveling on the bumpy roads of Zambia - we have finally arrived to what is now called home for the next 10 weeks!
Everything is absolutely incredible! I'm already in love with everything and everybody here! The WHIZ (World Hope International Zambia) Guest House is amazing! The people are so intentional! I can't wait to invest in them more and hear their stories!
The bus ride from Livingston to Choma was already a slap in the face. I always saw pictures of huts and the way the African people live daily, but seeing it first-hand was a whole new thing! It became reality to me that these people live there and it's all they have! But really - all they have! I can't explain it and can't even portray the things we saw on the bus ride! But nonetheless, as I was praying during that ride - I became absolutely in AWE of God! I'm in awe of God's plan for my life - in awe of the love of God and his people of every nation and tribe - in awe of how big our world is and the fact that God designed it all - in awe of God's presence - in awe of that God placed me in Zambia, Africa to serve Him!
Here we go! The journey has just begun and I can't wait for God to change my life completely!
Psalm 72:12-13 - For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death.
Praise God for who he is and for loving the Zambian people way more than I ever could!
