Back In The Saddle Again

Back in the saddle again people! Woo Hoo!! I was out and about with language this week. Cheers to Yvonne and the Ethiopians for letting me have a chance to get to it. I am very thankful. I came home one day and I said to Damary, "I had a real language day. Like, for real, like, talking to people and everything!" (Now, don't get carried away with the talking to people...I still barely can hold a conversation.)I had a situation come up. I will not be specific. But it was something I thought I had surrendered and it came up very quickly. If I would have given myself a moment to pray and wait on the Lord, I hope I would have made a better decision. But I made a wrong decision. And then I couldn't let it go. It consumed my mind and I knew I had to surrender this again. AGAIN!! When will I learn?? It took me 3 days to surrender. 3?! It always humbles me when I see how big of a talker I am. I am probably one of the top best pharisees in the world :) I love telling people what to do and what I would do in a situation but then...I never take my own advice. I never listen to me. I just do what I want.Psalm 84:11 got me through it. God is my sun and shield. He will never withhold a good thing from me. I have had to repeat that several times a day. I will not feel guilty. I have confessed. I have given it to God. He will continue to love me and pour His grace on me. That is it.It looks like the Ethiopians may have found accommodation! Yay! Hopefully, we can help them with the lease and all that in the next few days. It is in walking distance of the school they chose. They have 2 apartments close together and the price was right. We are so thankful! Next, they have to fill their apartments with furniture and whatever else they will need. I will be busy again!I am praying that I can be strategic in my language. Even if I cannot do a whole chunk of a day walking around greeting and talking with people. Maybe just an hour or something. I have to keep going. It is so hard and I have to review so many things. It is so easy to let myself be discouraged BUT I refuse to go down that road of thinking.Keep on Praying!
