There is just under two months left for us here in Port Elizabeth. In these last two weeks our team has had to say good-bye to 2 of our team members. For both of them this season was over and the Lord has things for them at home. Their time here came to an end and they have something back home that needs them. For both it is friends and family.
It makes me think about the end of the trip and how our team will all part ways and go on to the next thing. This is something that I have done many times with many teams but it never gets easier. You live with people for 9 months and you get attached and learn to love them no matter how different they are form you. Which makes the end of a season in life a little bitter sweet. Bitter because you have to leave people and possibly a place to move on to new things. Sweet because there is a new adventure ahead of you.
I pray that these next two months can be filled with great memories for my them both in ministry but with each other. That we wont back away from getting to know each other more but push forward and know that time is short. I pray that the Lord will use us in this city to change it and turn it back toward him. And that the Passion that we had in the beginning would return and not leave.
That is so true… I am praying for you guys, God has you there for a reason for the whole 9 months.
love
