Constant, Continued

Sorry! I pressed the wrong key when my pikipiki arrived!

As always, God's timing for that card was right on schedule. I woke up to an email announcing my VISA card is one of the thousands which will be cancelled effective December 21. Since I am in Africa until December 31, there is no way I will have the use of my credit card while I travel. I have carefully planned my travel money, but I was hoping to use my VISA for my hotel bill in Nairobi.

Strangely enough, I didn't panic when I discovered this financial glitch. The words from TPDL came to me, and I was filled with confidence that God is in control of the situation. Several friends, African and American, have offered solutions for this problem, and I am confident God will help me select the best solution.

Meanwhile, I am rejoicing because the wired money for the Angel House budget has arrived and Anna and I can begin to sort and distribute it on Monday. That is my last big responsibility at Angel House, unless more Christmas boxes arrive before I leave.

I am amazed that I'm learning to take time to greet people, wait long periods of time to get what I need, and approach each day with a song in my heart (and often on my lips, which is often surprising to pikipiki drivers!). Living in Tanzania for over 100 days has really made me appreciate God's constant attention. Could anyone ever receive a better Christmas present than that?
