Arrived home about 9pm. The entire trip was uneventful, for which we are thankful. The only issue was traffic around Chicago, which extended the drive time from three hours to about four hours. Everything else went smoothly and on-time, which is the answer to prayers.
I am thankful to be home, thankful to have been a part of the projects that took place the last couple of weeks, thankful for new friends I have made around the world, and thankful for amazing experiences.
Things I did when I got home:
- Drove on the correct side of the road.
- Drank water directly from the tap.
- Had pizza. We had a hankering for pizza a few times while in Africa, but could never find any. Event the airport in Amsterdam was devoid of any good pie.
- Took a shower and actually touched the shower head without fear of getting electrocuted.
- Shaved. Deb said I looked like Grizzly Adams when I got home.
Although I have made some of these descriptions public to allow others to come along side of what I have been experiencing, the primary purpose of these descriptions is to serve as standing stones, as reminders to myself of what God has been doing in my life.
After crossing the Jordan River towards Jericho, the Israelites were instructed to set up twelve standing stones as a reminder of that the Lord did (Joshua 4:19-24), so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever. These are my personal standing stones which serve as a reminder of God’s provision, His protection, and His power in my life.
