True rest and peace is found in Our Abba Father!

Hello My Family & Friends,

Today is my real day off. I didn't realize that being a missionary would be soooo hard, but it is. It is very draining and tiring. When you are a missionary you are so out of your comfort zone and walking on water. You are walking on water by taking steps of faith. Now I know why missionaries go home and rest for a while and then come back. They need that energy booster. That is what I am doing today. Today I am in Jinja with Chad and getting my energy booster from relaxing and then I am going to get my God energy booster because if it wasn't for Our Abba Father then we could not do anything. Praise God for His strength. Praise Him that we find rest and true peace in Him. Praise God that He truly fills us up. Praise God that He is truly all that we need. You know I figuered out something yesterday. It is like when you are teaching children and it seems like they get it and understand it, you feel good. You started out at zero than you raised up to number 5. You get a twinkle in their eyes that they truly get it. That amazes you and lets you know that God is at work. But then all of a sudden they twinkle vanishes from their eyes into thin air. Now you are back to zero. You are like what the crap. What just happened. I thought they understood it and got it. Then a thought comes into your head and tells you that you have to start all over again. That is what makes you discouraged. But you remembered a bird telling you that you planted a seed or watered a seed. You might not see it growing now. Then you are like God you are so awesome! Talk to you later on my friends and family! I love you all. Continue to pray for Chad and I because tomorrow is another day in the battle field. Thank you for the prayers and encouragement so far.
