Not Mine
The first thing that is not mine here on the blog today is this link to pictures. Some colleagues of mine arrived in Nampula a couple of weeks ago, and these are some pictures they took along the way.
The second thing that is not mine is my stuff. I learned this last week when I was in Lisbon and someone stole my camera. It was a bad day for the whole day, and I was very disappointed. However, I am safe, and everything else seems to be in its place. It helps me to think of the fact that all that I have is only temporary anyway, and is ultumately not mine, but God's.
The third thing that is not mine is my very own life. I have plans, dreams, and objectives that I pursue and I have things that I want and desire. All of these things are subject to the sovereignty of God. He brings the good out of every situation for His glory.
Pray for my camera to yet be found by the police.
Pray f0r my trip to go well.
Pray that I will be able to settle in quickly in Nampula.
Praise for a safe trip so far.
Praise for good friends here in Portugal.
