As we prepare and discuss our eventual move within our immediate family we all waffle back and forth about our desires to move to Tanzania long-term. It is funny how on one day there will be a member or two in our family who really do not want to go while other members are excited and upbeat but the next week the positions change. We all face a lot of fears, sadness and apprehension but are also experiencing joy, excitement and much, much more. Ultimately, we all know that we are eventually going, that it will all happen in God's time. We know that God would not put the people of Tanzania on all of our hearts and our desires to show them the love of God in such a strong way if it didn't fit into His plans.
Shannon has talked several times of how he used to wonder about his purpose here on earth. He knew that God put him here for a reason, if for nothing else but to worship God, but he talks to me of how the calling we have to Tanzania has really helped him in feeling like he has finally found where he is supposed to be and what he is here to do. I must say that in many ways I agree. I think we both felt that there was something big God wanted to do with us. Because by using us, it will glorify Him. In looking upon our pasts and where God has brought us and what He is still taking us through there is no way for God not to be glorified through it all.
Please keep praying for our family as God continues His work in us.
