“Today is the day, you have made, I will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24).”
Whether you know that passage as a Bible verse, a children’s song, or the latest lyric on KTIS, it does not change its truth or relevancy. For us in Jamaica, today was a day where God truly shared His joy with us. There is so much to say, but unfortunately, I only know my experience, so that will be what I share with you.
It began with the longest car ride yet to the Windsor Girl’s Home in St. Anne’s (1/4 an island away), during this time, I grew closer to God through rigorous prayer due to the fact that I was nervous beyond reason. But what I anticipated was not what God had in mind. The girls were receptive, joyful and I pray that we were as much a blessing to them as they were to us. We are going back tomorrow and I can’t wait.
The evening was punctured by two spontaneous events I did not expect. One was a meal with a 13 year old boy named Owien (oh-wee-en) who Stieg generously gave a free lunch, the other was conversing with a ‘christian-rastafarian-naturalist-skeptic’ named Jordan (he was hard to nail down as you can see) in the ocean.
Besides theses spontaneous events full of God’s love and humor, we went to the Boy’s and Girl’s club in Montego Bay The music was wonderful, the fellowship was heart-warming, and our message blessed by God, with Marching Band and All!
Once again, thank-you for your generous support and never-ceasing prayer, we can tell you haven’t stopped. Today has been, by far, the best day of work on Jamaica.
