Today God took us as far from our "comfortable shell of life" as I HAVE even been OR allowed myself to go. God gave us a great example of this with a hermit crab by the pool as we were leaving the team meeting after supper. David tried to pull it out of the shell and it would not come out. It was stretched as far out of its shell and still be attached.
How we allow things to separate us from God on a daily basis. How even food and water can separate us from Him. The distance some have to go to get water is unfathomable unless you experience it first hand. These wonderful people accept the mzungu (white people) unjudgingly in their homes and families without question or any feelings of uncomfortableness or fear. We were given their chairs and sitting areas and they either brought out more stools or just sat on the ground to listen to the gospel. There were several who had already accepted Christ and some that accepted Him today.
There are truly NO words to describe this unless you have already experienced it, like the peace that passes all understanding.
Thank you for helping me to come out of my comfortable little shell and experience what I have heard other people talk about as a life changing experience. Until today, those were just really words and hard to relate or understand their magnitude.
And this was just the FIRST day!!!!
