12 days remaining

12 days....wow. 12 days left in Africa. Its honestly mind blowing. I think about month 9 or so you have just settled in to the fact that this is where you live and your home and that you aren't going anywhere else. That mentality is also making it very hard to end things now. So I press forward in that and I try to seek intimacy with Jesus to fill me to end things well.

Thanks for your prayers and thoughts of late. Jesus is keeping me focused and not im too distracted at all about anything after November 2nd at the moment. My goal is trying to connect well with all guys Ive been able to lead well this year. So far I have had the chance to get together with a couple guys and spend time with them. We will see about how the rest of the time goes. So many people are having me over for dinner from church or people Ive been able to impact this year. I think I will be covered for food until I leave! Even the Captain of Sundowns has invited me over to his house next week with his family for a goodbye meal.

Sprinting to the finish of SA but knowing the race of ministry and making disciples never ends... TAE
