Last night was my welcome meeting with New Tribes Mission here in Senegal. We had a great time. I shared a testimony, my family and some friends from my local Jola church sang some songs before having pizza with other missionaries. At the end of the night a lady who lives near me asked if there was room enough in the van for her to ride home with us. I said, THERE IS ALWAYS ENOUGH ROOM! The van was one for 9 people but there were more than 15 people and two babies in the van. Even when I thought it was full we stopped and picked up more friends! We drove home on a road that was constructed for three lanes of traffic but had 6 lanes of cars and busses and motercycles weaving in the tight spaces inbetween. Not to mention all the people crossing the street between all the cars. It can be scary. Life here is like that. On the ride home as we sang worship songs in French and Jola I was thinking of how awesome it is that there is always enough room in the arms or our Lord. Like the hymn says, "there is room at the cross for you". I am finding that with my African friends and family here, even when there is very little there is always enough to share and always enough to give to someone who has need. I am learning a lot from them about giving sacrifically. Thank you as well for giving.
