I think that after a good nights we are ready to get going again. We returned last night about 7:30 from a car trip that left a few feeling -under the weather- and the rest of us exhausted. Still, it was well worth it. The two hour cruise up the Nile, and then the 4 hour safari was amazing. National Geographic stuff! But we are now back and have many things to do in the next couple days. Today, we will be doing some construction, emptying a container, doing a social evening with the staff at NACM, and accompanying day students after school to their homes in the nearby villages.

With all this going on, I keep on thinking, and did a lot on the trip yesterday, I am still asking myself, OK how do you now go back and reveal God’s glory in your own context in Canada? The answer is not to simply wait for the next short term trip, which so many do. How will I spend my time, my resources, my efforts as it relates to those at SCC? My neighbors? Our friends? My community? I feel a little overwhelmed at all the potential possibilities there? I feel two points of tension: Responding to those that God has made a direct part of my life and with whom I have a natural connection, and responding to those with whom I have no immediate contact? The other struggle involves the tension of praying for God to show me what new areas He wants me to branch out into, and just taking the initiative myself to do this. I only have some answers now. I guess, then, I act upon what I know, and live with the uncertainty of the others until I do know how I am to proceed.
