Trust and Obey

Well i'm in the last few days of my quick trip to malawi. It's been a blast being back with the team from mozambique. It's that feeling when you return to family and while things are different, it's still the same. The past three months in perth could easily have been a holiday and now i'm back 'home'. Only i'm not home.. I haven't even nearly come close to the place where i spent the majority of my time last year.

Maybe i still need to work out this idea of home?

Maybe, just maybe, it's a reminder that i'll only truly be home when i'm in the presence of God eternally... 

So why did i come for such a short time? What was the point? Practically- it was to assist with looking after the children while a conference for the team was being held in Malawi. But there is more than that. It's about being obedient... And that's something i'm only just learning now. Obedience means following Christ even when we don't know where he'll lead us. We need to listen and obey. Trust in God and step out in faith. 

He knows what he's doing and is sovereign in all situations. I have to remember this. Even when i'm in this stalling stage, not knowing where i'll be going next. 

It's definitely a new season now...
