What faces me today? What faces each one of us? A friend's help? A friend's attack? Where does each come from might be a good question that can lead us to the only place to find an answer - the foot of the Cross. There we will hopefully see those friends, those circumstances - the friends who have humbled themselves to be the helper - or sometimes, not find the face of the friend who is in the "attack". It is all an opportunity to learn more - to grow closer to God - to accept what all of these situations and circumstances are for His purpose.
To bring us closer to Him.
Some times in the junk - or weeds - of life, seems like the Lord's just not hangin' with us - well, maybe just me this morning! But truthfully, I know He is - maybe just away on a bit of other business?
When the attack comes - the circumstances seem desperate - and we believe He's not in it with us - His word reminds us to be the Wise Servant. Matthew 24:45-51 is where I landed today...
"25 Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time? 26 Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes"
I will chose that blessing -

You will have the opportunity to interact with local leaders, community members, and many children throughout the week. On the back end of the trip you will enjoy a safari day at a Kenyan national park where you will see a variety of animals while enjoying the Kenyan landscape.
