Moments From Africa
March 16th, 2011So many images remain in our minds from our travels in Africa. This is just one of them. The humble venue, the power of God's word, and the earnestness of the scribe, faithfully transcribing the Bible from paper to chalkboard--it's faith on film. We're making a commitment to write the word of God--reading is too fast to digest the hope in each verse. We will write, and we will slow down, and we will soak up His Truth!
"One day I asked God [His] instructions on how to live on the earth,
God brought His voice close to my ear and said...
Be like a sun, arises early, and do not go to bed late.
Be like birds, eat, sing, drink and fly.
Be like flowers loving the sun, but faithful to your roots.
Be like fruits, beautiful on the outside and healthy on the inside.
Be like the day which arrives and leaves without boasting.
Be like the oasis, good and transparent.
Be like the river, always moving forward.
And above all things,
Be like the heavens, a home for God.
Oh God don't let me remain where I am, help me reach where You want me to be."
This is beautiful I love it;)
i remember this, this was like a sign to me that the people really wanted to hear about God, this was at a gas station, on a stop we made.. We were all tired and hot, and this was a little piece of encouragement
