I leave for Sudan on Monday, February 8, 4:50pm. The first two days I fly Dallas to London and then London to Entebbe/Kampala Uganda, about 9 hours each. Then I'll be in Kampala for two nights and a day before getting on a MAF prop plane to fly 2-3 hours north into Sudan. I'm not going to lie, the lack of a return flight is a weighing a little heavy on my mind even tough I know I'm not gone forever.
Two thoughts and corresponding passages have been on my mind for the last few days. The first is as simple as it is hard to do: "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). The second is in the story of Joseph where despite circumstances, the refrain of "the Lord was with Joseph" is repeated throughout the narrative of Joseph's life. Circumstances, good or bad, do not indicate or determine God's presence. God has plans to prosper us and not to harm us and bad circumstances do not indicate God's absence but rather reaffirm Psalm 46:10, that God is big and we are small.
He is God and we are not. And He is with us always.
p.s. Sorry for not posting in a couple months, I'll try to fill in the blanks between November and today soon
