In an earlier blog I wrote how it has been hard to focus on the here and now in life and that my mind has been wondering into the future too much.
“… do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself…” Matthew 6:34
Today I thought about God’s gifts to me now. In fact, today itself is called the present! After living in Africa now for eight months I still had a, “I’m in Africa!” moment. I am living in Africa right now! During my morning jog today I found myself surrounded by blesbok and wildebeest with springbok and fallow deer in the distance. Right now I am sitting under a roof made of grass. I spent the weekend with my close friends who I have laughed and cried with and who are also missionaries who have been working here for years. I have treasures in my friendships here along with the beauty I get to wake up to each day.
