2010!!
Two thousand ten or twenty ten? Hmmm...
Looking back over this year... so many firsts!
Jan- first time to lead someone to the Lord in Swahili.
Feb- first time to teach a children's Bible lesson in Swahili.
Mar- first trip to the Serengeti.
Aug- first time being "mother" of a pre-teen for 6 wks. :-)
Sep- first teacher training seminar.
Oct- first time to have visitors from the states (Love you, Mom and Dad!)
Dec- first chance to teach at the Bible college (seminar on teaching children in the church)
Most of those firsts represent moments and sometimes days way out of my "comfort zone." Stretching, growing, learning. A year of adventures. A year of being held up by the GRACE of GOD!
I am so grateful for the stretching. Not that I necessarily like it, but I do hate being stagnant in my Christian life. I hate settling in to a quiet time routine, resting on past spiritual victories without desperately needing Him TODAY. I'm so glad our God is the I AM! Not the "I was" or the "I will be," but I AM!!
Thank you, God for all these "firsts" and for Your comforting presence and enabling grace through each one.
