so i woke up the other morning and wandered out to the out house. On my way back in I saw a pile of books and a journal and passport sitting on the step outside of our door. I was so confused.
When people woke up a little bit later things began to appear missing in the house and one of the girls shared with us how she thought she saw someone running out of our house the night before when she was coming back in from the bathroom. And some more things had been pulled out of the girls room window.
So we got robbed. ha.
At first it was really weird to think about someone hanging around at night and waiting until someone went out for an oppurtunity to come in and take some of our things. It was weird to think about someone being in our house as we slept. It was weird to think about someone at our window quitely pulling things away just inches away from our heads.
But we were all ok. God was sooo good in looking out for us that night as we were sleeping.
Listen to this… they took a passport but brought it back. Another passport had been removed just the night before that bag was taken. The girl who saw the man running away could have walked back in and found him in our house.
That morning we just worshiped God. Because things come and go but God is always good. No one can ever take that away from us. As that man watched us moving about God was watching us too. As we slept our father in heaven was watching us and protecting us. He provided us with the things we needed (the next day we were traveling to Kenya and needed our passports to get across the border). Our God is so good.
We were debreifing as a team last night and we got to share about how God has used this so much in drawing us closer to him as a team and we were laughing as we said we were thankful for it.
I dont think I would have planned to be thankful for being robbed. But I am. Because God showed himself to us in it and I always want to see more him.
Be careful!
