4th of September 2011
This morning we got to wake up an hour early considering we set our clocks forward for the spring. That was a little rough just between the busy week, jet lag and late night last night watching a movie and reading etc. but it was well worth it! New Song Family Church is terrific! A perfect mix of western style worship, but in Namibia, with people from all over who all have a heart for Namibia.
We learned today about how our eyes should be focused on God, and not too much on Grace or too much on holy standard, because than we have tainted view of who God really is. Just focus on your relationship with him and your heart will be convicted to try and hold a holy standard, but you will have a reminder on how much God loves us and will seek grace in that as well. Us as Christians are the most free people because when we do fall short of perfection we can connect directly with Christ with repentance of that mistake and be immediately forgiven. I do want to challenge myself and others to not take that for granted, but be extremely appreciative of his love for us.
After Church we came back to the Greidanus’ house to fellowship with everyone before saying our goodbyes for now. Everyone parted to their different ways: David and Robert to their apartment in Katutura, Hannah and Sarah to Rehoboth, and Mohab and Rania will be staying until Thursday and then parting to the northern part of the country as well.
Today was a little emotional for me trying to figure out where the Lord wants me right now to be living, saying goodbyes, busyness of the week, realizing I will be in Namibia for awhile without seeing any family. I want to make sure I am doing the Lord’s will, but do not know where that is or what that looks like at the moment. If you could please pray for me that I would figure that out I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you!
