It has been months since I have taken
time to sit and write. I have missed it. I
love to bridge my life with yours and process the
experiences our life here brings us.
I thought I would write this summer. I
didn't. There is something beautiful about sharing one's sorrows,
joys and experiences in person that for me writing cannot replace.
So we loved our time with people. We
loved sharing our lives with those God gave to us. There was
something so refreshing about loving and being loved in return....not
for what we did but for who we are.
Then it was time to return to Ethiopia
and our children were glad. For them, life is simpler in Gesses.
They loved their time in Canada but to them, home is Gesses. We
returned asking God to reveal to us His purpose for our family and
future ministry with the Gumuz. It has not been an easy decision
but we are beginning to accept that our time of ministry, in remote
locations, is coming to an close....for now. This is not easy to let
go. It's been my life for 20 years. But for now, we are here. I
invite you again, into my heart and the beauty and pain of ministry
among Gumuz – who desperately need to find release from fear.
