Our crew is excited right now. I am excited right now, for in less than twelve hours we shall sail into Monrovia, Liberia. I cannot wait to step foot in Africa.
I feel at peace right now. Tonight we gathered on the bow of our vessel as the sun began to set into the deep blue sea. It was still. We worshipped. Singing and praying and gazing out over the still waters we worshipped the Lord in thankfulness. It was a special moment for our crew. It was a special moment for me. A peace sank in that has been absent for a week or so. It was, and continues to be, one of those times when everything just seems right, and in its place. A time to be gentle and humble, and thankful, because life is Good. I celebrate that my heart may be in this posture as a new chapter of this journey begins.
