We are made for each other.
I can’t believe it is June 15th already! I had arrived in Ghana, one year ago. It is hard for me to put into words of my desire to help Ghanaians. My strong desire to return to Ghana is rooted in God’s call for me to specifically go there and my love for others.
I want to express God’s and my love for others by meeting Ghanaians’ physical needs and by sharing my hopeful faith. It is exciting to have to wait to go too, in a way. This time has been a special time of suffering and learning for me: to walk with God in a manner that requires me to really lay down my plans for Him to benefit others. He is teaching me, particularly, about interdependence; I cannot fulfill my calling without you.
God did not make me self-sufficient (even though I have tried to act like it at times), but He has purposely made me weak and dependent upon you. God ways are so beautiful. He gives us each talents, skills, and a personality, to do wonderful things, but not one of us can use them totally independent of others help. Think about it, what person has achieved anything worthy in life totally on their own? We all build upon and enable each others’ work.
So here I am preparing to go, while waiting patiently for others to hear and join God’s call; by giving of themselves whatever God asks, though it maybe painful and contrary to their plans too.
