Good morning!

Today is Memorial Day in the States and it is usually one of my favorite holidays. Besides, it is a just holidays to honor those who gave their lives for us, it is also the beginning of summer for the States. Today my niece and favorite person celebrates her graduation and I will call her later today. I am not sure but I think it is probably warm today there! Happy holiday to my US brothers and sisters!! Hope your day is filled with good stuff!
Now, we are cold today--brrrr. And it has rained yesterday and today-very unusual. It is supposed to get cold, but I am actually surprised at how cold.I am actually wearing a jacket and long pants. Some of the leaves are changing too, although I am told that they do not change alot.
Africa has been full of daily surprises for me!
Church was really great yesterday as always. Glyn was the guest pastor and had a good message. Basically, it was about what to do now that you are a Christian. I particularly enjoyed thinking about the name"Christian", once a nickname used to deride the new believers. It means "Little Christ". Hmmm....that is the challenge isn't it? It is not enough to declare yourself a believer and then go on your merry way. Our belief system is a system of action. I believe strongly that we should maintain following Christ's example of getting out there and talking. Well, I am here.
Therein lies the new challenge for me personally. Since I am currently in preparation to go north to Francistown, I feel like I am stuck in neutral. I know that was difficult for me in waiting to come here. Waiting on the Lord is a challenge for all of us. How many times have you thought about a prayer that seems to be taking too long? And then, you may feel or even go ahead and abandon this prayer?
Frustration sets in pretty fast for us. But remember that Jesus had plenty of downtime-when He would leave the crowds to rest or seek His Father in prayer. So this time for me needs to be spent seeking the Lord in prayer, not sulking about having to wait. As I have said before, I certainly kept Him waiting long enough.
