He is Faithful



Packing up and cleaning out my apartment for the last year has been such an emotional chore. As I was going thru a box of letters, cards of encouragement I received over the year I stumbled upon my first 2 journals here in Tanzania. As I read the pages of smudged pencil there was an overwhelming theme of doubt and uncertainty. As I read I couldn’t help but weep “How faithful He has been…” Sleepless nights of feeling unsafe, driving fears and mustering up the guts to get out my gate once a day, crying out for relationships.
Now, Dar is truly been “home” to me. I adore the people that come in and out of my life everyday, I drive like I’m living in a video game, and my apartment has been very comfortable. He has been ever so faithful to me in my time here.

I’m looking forward to Kenya but for now I just want to spend every moment I can with these amazing students and friends that God has placed in my life. Tanzania will always have a piece of my heart.

Song I cant stop listening to "He is faithful" by Bryan and Katy Torwalt 

Psalm 33:4 
 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
Psalm 36:5
Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
Psalm 86:15
But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
Psalm 89:1  I will sing of the LORD's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.

Movingggg


With less than 30 days left in Dar, my time will be flying by.... 

I guess time to announce IM MOVING! Nairobi, Kenya will be my new home in one month. Due to some circumstances here, its best for me to finish my time there (7 more months!). It's kinda funny God would be sending me there. I fought going to a place I had been before- wanting to be stretched but now I've come full circle. I'm looking at this as a new adventure, things " if I could this over again" - well now I can, and obviously another country/ experience under my belt. Truly, I know this is the best thing for me right now - so I'm trying to embrace and frankly wrap my mind around it. 

 I don't really to think about saying goodbye just yet so no sappy blogs so far. I went to a wedding last weekend and took some shots of the happy couple! 

This next week is the last week of swimming and the semester is winding down. 


Congrats Raziki and Jehovaness 

Me, Angela, and Comfort
