Traveling

We picked up our boys in Wadley early and returned to Birmingham for the weekend.  During our travel time, we learn new praise and worship songs, talk about life, share family stories, hear each others hearts, learn new English words, teach American traits, compare our lives and discuss just about anything from the colorful trees to girlfriends. 

One of our many discussions today was about a dear friend of theirs.  They trusted "Mr. Man" with all of their hearts and Mr. Man had let them down.  Mr. Man fended for himself and let the other team members fall.  They felt betrayed and bitter.  Manga and Snowman Tawil did not want to have anything to do with this person ever again.  We discussed how Mr. Man was probably just trying to keep himself above water and although this didn't make it right, we must be like Jesus and rise above it.  We have to have the fruits of the Spirit and be loving, kind, patient and gentle.  If an apology comes - Great - if it never comes - It's OK.  We have to choose to be like Christ and be obedient to what He calls us to do.

Scatter Christ
