God's Plan

When we got up yesterday we were greeted with the news that we wouldn't be able to go into the centers or have the team over for lunch as we had planned. Things were still a little too unstable. We did some quick rearranging, no big deal. God just sent us to love on the people of Malawi. He doesn't have a schedule or plan.
We were ablt to walk to STEKA house. This is an organization that Maribeth and Kelsey have been helping financially and with prayers. It is a husband & wife (Godknows and Helen) who have opened up their home to children from the streets. The police bring them children that have been abandoned or abused. Currently they have 30+ children there. They are patient, God loving parents. These children are loved and cared for beautifully. They get little or no support from the government or any other agencies!! We got to hear their stories, pray for them, and do a little story of Joseph with coloring & braided bracelets. Those children would have done crafts all afternoon, and were so great. The afternoon was opened up by a bautiful prayer by a sweet 3 year old boy. Had me in tears from the beginning.
Today we are having the team over for lunch. We are preparing a combo American/Malawian lunch. Always a challenge to cook on one burner for 10+ people. Plus use a little charcoal cooker outside.
It is so beautiful here. I love walking down the streets - we are greeted with such warm smiles.
The weather is nice - just a little over 70. Sunny...
Thanks for your prayers!
God Bless you as you shine the light of Jesus where ever you are.
