Waiting

“I try to remember that walking in the will of God might mean waiting..”

Tessa Afshar

Today was the day I was suppose to leave for South Africa but God had different plans.

My team left but I will be staying in a hotel tonight. I will be getting a covid test tomorrow morning and pray it’s negative so I can leave tomorrow night.

I had to take an Uber after I left the airport. My Uber driver is from Cuba and his name is Geiler. The nicest man ever. I got to hear part of his story. Geiler is an artist, he’s a husband to his lovely wife Lilly, a father to a 18 year old month daughter and also a father to another daughter their expecting this Christmas.

My favorite part of our conversation though, was that Geiler asked if I was Christian. I replied, “Yes I am a Christian.” Then I asked him, “Are you a Christian?” He said, “Yes.” Then from there on we talked about churches, how things happen all in God’s plan and it was in that moment my heart in that car changed. One moment I was really sad and I didn’t understand why God allowed this to happen, but then I met Geiler.

As my team heads off to South Africa tonight. I pray you would pray for them.

I know the Lord is with them and as I follow hopefully soon tomorrow right behind them. I know He’s with me.

Things happen in life we can’t expect. Sometimes we don’t know why and other times God reveals to us the reason later why it happened the way it did. Today God wanted me to meet Geiler and I’m so thankful that I got to meet him.
