Why did I go to Zambia in May 2009?
On March 31st at our weekly staff meeting Zambia was discussed. After the meeting I felt distinctly that I should go to Zambia but it did not make any sense to me so I brushed it off. The next week (April 7th) at the staff meeting we again spoke of Zambia and again I felt that I should go.
None of it made any sense to me. We had people going to Zambia every year, we had staff in Zambia, what would I need to go there for? (Humans always try to logically think things through instead of just listening to God!)
I talked to Vanessa about this and she thought I should go. I knew that a team was going in September so I told her that maybe I would tell Duvon I would like to go with them.
On Monday April 13th, I emailed Duvon and told him that I felt that I should go. He asked me if I had my Passport and I said yes why? Well he said I am thinking sooner rather than later!
It turns out that he had just recently been speaking with Lameck (the country director in Zambia) about computer/printer/internet issues and vehicle issues and then I came up and said I felt I should go.
So less than 3 weeks later I was on the plane.
The first lesson of this has simply been - Listen! Do not try to analyze, do not try to complicate things with your own logic, when you hear from God simply listen to His instructions.
