One week down, one to go!

Thank you Richard for your thoughtful devotional. You hit the nail on the head. Here is a more boring serious blog entry from me... not full of thrill and excitement of the day. But very real.

Read at your peril!!

The last week has been very full to say the least. I have never known a week take so long, I think it has been the proverbeal "week and a half". Tee hee... Normally a slow week is down to boredom, but not this last one.

We all came here at different places, and I expect today we are all at different places still after this last week, but probably all agree that we are tired, and have had a unique week.

I miss home, I miss my family, and I miss toilet paper that can flush, I miss my hair being nicely done, I miss SPACE!!! The days have a hint of me being faithful and obedient for me at the moment and carrying on, not so much of the exciting amazing thrill that we started with. But hey! what do I know.. about what the next week holds... I have never predicted a day here even remotely... I am sure th enext week will surprise me still.

God's Love is still flowing, the smiles are still everywhere we go though, so the challenge is still full of daily blessings back to us. I was a little sad one day, not smiling so much,and a little boy out of the blue walked up to me and gave me his biscuit from his lunchbox.

So West Cliff friends, please pray for our strength physically and mentally to make the next week even better than the first one. Feeling shorter would be good though :-)

Do you know what is the most important bit though.... we came to share a smile, share Jesus, and make someone's day a little lighter, and that is exactly what has happened every single day.Toilet paper that flushes is just not important it seems.....

Have a wonderful weekend everyone, thanks for your prayers.
