Not Returning to Namibia, Africa

Dear Family and Friends,

I’m sorry I have not posted sooner. I have been praying long and hard, asking God for guidance on what I should do about returning to Namibia, Africa. After returning from being Denied Entry all I could think about was to not give up and get back to Namibia. I truly did not ask God whether that was his will. Then as I continued to push for my return trip, God started closing doors. When that happened I didn’t understand. I didn’t understand why I felt like I was pushing against a brick wall. Finally I did what I should have done in the first place; I asked God. What he told me was very hard to except and it still is, but I have that peace he gives when you know it is his will. God told me “Leah quit being stubborn and hardheaded, I have put up a wall on purpose.” I continued to pray, and God showed me many other things. It’s like looking at separate puzzle pieces; they made no sense apart. But when those puzzle pieces are put together they make a beautiful picture. We all play are part, sometimes God shows us what the other puzzle peices look like giving us a small idea of what the big picture is. I might never know the whole reason on why I went to Namibia and then was sent back. But God had his reasons. And now I again must fallow his lead, even though I don’t understand it completely. I am sorry that I will not be seeing my Friends in Namibia, Africa . I do wish it was differently but God has answered my prayers “no”, and that means it is for my good and eternal well being. And I believe “it is his intent to bless, not wound. His desire is to redeem. His commitment is to work things out for our ultimate good. (Rom. 8:28)”
Thanks for your prayers and support,
