It’s been a heck of a month Lord. Thank You especially for journey mercies.
So what was memorable about this month? Going home of
course! I can hardly believe my vacation is about to come to an end…it went by
so fast. It was quite eye-opening in several respects too.
Lord I am so blessed! I cannot thank You enough especially when I see the suffering in Cameroon. I did not do anything extra. I am no different than those little girls born into abject poverty, with barely enough clothes to clothe them and just enough food to keep them alive. Some of my experiences this time around in Cameroon were heart-wrenching. They filled me a plethora of feelings; extreme gratitude to You, anger towards the nation’s leadership, confusion about what can be done, guilt about not doing anything etc.
I must also comment on the African trend of having churches
on every corner. Any and everybody starts a church nowadays. A very small
percentage with the right motives. Why can’t we be called to serve under
an existing church body? Why the inclination to start something new? I am
afraid it does not reflect unity at all. The billboards on almost every street corner in Yaounde were hard to ignore.
I also had strong conviction on how necessary it is for us to let You make our choices. How
many times do we pray and seriously seek You before making important decisions
in life? Remember the story of David’s anointing by Samuel? It is very easy for
us to be deceived by our worldly judgements. David was considered least likely
but of all the more attractive sons of Jesse, he was the chosen one. Oh how important
it is to beg You to help us especially in making life-changing choices.
By the way, I am thoroughly enjoying reading Joshua Harris’
“I Kissed Dating Goodbye”. I recommend it to everyone, especially those who are
not yet married. It is painfully eye-opening to say the least.
