Greetings on this somewhat cool day in Cameroon. I will start with the news that I completed my 10k run last weekend and as long as I stay healthy, will be going up Mt. Cameroon next Sat. and Sun. Thank you for your prayers.
I love the way God wakes me up and reminds me of his faithfulness is small personal ways. In chapel worship yesterday I momentarily got distracted from the songs and started praying about where I will go next year and what I will do. I confessed that I want to do what is familiar but I new I couldn’t serve myself and had to follow Him. Then the next song was on how life without Jesus would be nothing and that anything but serving him with my life would be useless. In that moment I was reminded that in following Christ here I have been so blessed. Life this year is not easy, but it is so full of blessed moments with God. Silent tears fell down my face as I praised God for his faithfulness.
I hope you can experience God in little moments like that.
If you have any brilliant ideas for what I should do next in life I would be willing to hear them.
But for now I am still here teaching in Cameroon. I started to do a New Year’s evaluation of where I have come from in the last year and what I have gone through. I got overwhelmed. I changed jobs, homes, countries, cultures, languages, fellowship and gone through many personal battles with God. God has sustained me and been my strength. I can credit it to no one or nothing else. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Well this entry will be short today. Someone eat a yellow bell pepper for me please. I miss them, the red and orange ones too.
As always, I love to hear from any and all of you.
May you know God’s blessings today,
AMY
