December 18, 2007

I guess it's December 18! Where did my night of sleep go? I'm a the airport in Paris. Crazy to be in Europe and stuck in an airport! I don't even know what time is is, so I'm just sitting here trying to learn some Zarma and reading Passion and Purity, which I love! When I get home I want to sit down with it and really go through it. My first flight was good, just very long! I mostly slept, though not enough. I'm just ready to get to Niger. I hop that not much is planned for today, I just want to sleep in a bed! I don't know what I'm thinking about the mission trip right now. But I read this in Passion and Purity earlier:

The Lord, the everlasting God, creator of the wide world grows neither weary nor faint. No man can fathom his understanding. He gives vigour to the weary, new strength to the exhausted. Young men may grow weary and faint, even in their prime they may stumble and fall; but those who look to the Lord will win new strength. They will grow wings like eagles, they will run and not be weary, the will march on and never grow faint.

It's definitely what I need for today. I feel dead. I can't really seem to think much past today, and I hope that is a good thing. I am just going to take each day and each opportunity from God. I want to trust in Him. I want these next 10 days to be about Him and His plan among the Zerma, so I leave them up to you. Use me. Give me boldness and strength. Give me compassion and love. Give me sesnitivity to the Holy Spirit. I am your servant.
