I Was Just Plain Scared


Today, I was thinking about how I felt when my parents told me that they had heard God telling them to come and start a church right here in Mombasa. I was excited, of course I thought we were coming for an extremely long holiday [It sounds dumb I know but hey, I was only seven]. 

When I realized we were actually moving I wasn’t as excited as I was before. To be completely honest I was just plain scared which I always am when I am in a new and unfamiliar place, or I meet someone new and I don’t have a choice but to say hi. I didn’t know anyone, I had no idea where we were going to live, and I also kept hearing that little voice of fear taunting me with thoughts like “What school will I go to?” and “Will I ever make any friends?”. The answers to these questions are “The school I go to is one of the best I know,” and” Yes, I have made friends, and they are "de crème de la crème" P.S That translated into English means the best of the best. 

So, like Paul said in Romans all things work together for good to those called by Jesus’ name. 

This is the part where you say “Amen.”

hi sarah
thanks for sharing your story on having to move and live in a new place. I recently moved to a new location that will be my home and your positive attitude just rubbed on to me.

Keep writing girl, loving your blog!
I remember when I came to Mombasa too! It was terribly hot and I kept wondering how people survive this heat!
I'm most grateful to your family and other friends in helping me settle down.
God bless!
