It's funny how time passes so quickly when you invest time into others. It can be so much fun! Today I spent the later part of the afternoon playing with Isaac, Maria, and Rodzo (the guard's youngest daughter). We played hide-and-seek, I taught them a few CEF songs, and we pretended we were fish in an ocean. At first when Isaac begged me to play hide-and-seek I dreaded it, but I decided to go along with it for a while. It's amazing how long you can play one simple game without getting sick of it! I think I was tired of it long before they were, but it still kept me preoccupied for a long time. Kids are so much fun!
God has been convicting me of my lack of prayer life... I wish I spent more time presenting my requests to Him and even more so just listening to Him. I underestimate the power of prayer so much. :-(
I read this in Thomas Hale's book today and it hits upon the subject of doubting and second-guessing in regards to missions: "We Christians are too calculating today. We calculate how much risk we're willing to take, how much sacrifice we're willing to make. We seem to forget that the highest and most glorious privilege in the world is to have the chance to suffer for Christ."
