That's right folks, I have officially passed the half year mark! Not only that but that also means that I am 1/3 of the way through my time here. It really is amazing to think that I've made it this far. It is a testament to God's faithfulness to as He continues to give me grace for each day. As I look back I can't help but think about the good times, and the hard times. It really seems like an up and down roller coaster in a lot of ways. Still this 6 month stint have obviously been different from any other time in my life. I know that I am growing and maturing in ways that are fresh and new to me. Still, I am constantly wrestling with my own finitude and inability to be all things to all people here. The children who run to greet me daily don't speak French, and I don't know Morre (that could be spelled wrong). It's just one of many frustrating examples that are apart of my life, yet I have just been wrestling recently with grace as I am supposed to speak on it on Saturday night. I still don't understand grace, I don't know how/when/or why God dishes it out to us, but I'm trying my best to look daily as to how I can continue to doll out grace to others through the Spirit. It's not easy, and I forget often what I'm trying to accomplish, but it is a new outlook for me here that I hope will begin to influence my daily actions.
Here's another beautiful image from Cameroon. Enjoy!
