A very different season
When I landed in Kenya it was right at the start of a national shutdown protest against the fuel situation. Roads were blocked off and Patrick couldn't get to the airport. A brave taxi driver dodged thrown stones and barrackades to get me to the Misingis house.
Patrick finally made it there late evening and we stayed the night.
The following day we set off early for Nakuru but encountered road pirates on the highway. These people vandalise cars, smashing windows and threaten physical harm for money. If they had seen my luggage we would be in trouble.
We turned back but by then they had blocked that side too. We took a side road to go on a parrallel road but it was also blocked. We took a small country road but it was in the process of being blocked. Finally we took refuge in a restaurant until we got news that armed police were clearing the roads.
Since reaching home we have been spending a lot of time with our pastor and Godly counsellers, rearranging the house, fixing our broken down bus, winning spiritual battles and just spending quality time together.
God has us in a season of resting in Him, enjoying what He has given us and waiting for the go ahead to walk through the open doors He has revealed.
Before I left the UK I heard Eric Gilmore talk on Martha & Mary. Busyness can distract from beholding Jesus. Neither of us is used to being so still but it is refreshing being able to just behold. It is restoring and empowering us for what lies ahead.
So thankful for the unity and wisdom of Holy Spirit
