So much has happened this past year. Much to rejoice in, like going to Tanzania, becoming a nanny for the family I traveled there with, being a part of an amazing new body of believers, getting another little nephew, the list could go on. There was also sorrow, relationships torn and strained, and the loss of a very dear loved one. This year taught me much, that's for sure.
Well I'm starting this new year off with another great adventure. Come the first of February I am getting on a plane bound for the same little village in Tanzania I lived in for three months last winter. I am so excited and thrilled to be going back! This time I will know many of the little faces eager to greet me when we arrive. I feel like I have a better view of missions this time as well. Last time I was like I'm just going to love all these people. That's not a bad thing but Jesus also called us to make disciples of all nations not just to love all nations. I believe my heart is more in line with my Saviors this time. Its going to be hard, I'll really have to commit to learning the language, as well as truly investing in the kids lives and really getting to know their hearts. Its scares the mess out of me, but I'm determined to live with my heart open and without fear of hard things or messing up.
Please pray for me to keep my heart open and that I would have deep intimacy with the Lord listening to His Spirit and following His guidance in all I do there. I want to bring Him much glory and truly help further His kingdom in Ntagacha Tanzania this winter.
Blessings~ Nancy
