This weekend the 20s from our region went away for the weekend together. For many, many reasons, which I won't detail here, this was probably one of my toughest times yet. I was holding it together until Saturday night when it just got too much. Becky, an english girl who's just moved to Maseru with her husband and baby came and prayed with me. I know it will sound obvious but to me it was a revelation. She said to me, 'you're really strong all the time, doing what you do, living amongst people you don't always understand, without the support of a husband. God says it's ok not to always be strong, to sometimes find it incredibly tough.' I think subconsciously I had thought that I couldn't tell God things that were difficult for me personally here because He's the one who sent me here.
So after she'd prayed with me, I went for a prayer walk and told God all the reasons why it's not ok at the moment. None of those things have changed in the last few days, but there was a freedom in actually admitting them to God. And if you're reading this, know that being on mission on another continent is a great adventure, but it's definitely not always easy.
