My first painting. Based on Song of Salomon 8:6, 7 from the Bible. The fire that burns within You lights in me a new flame, even the devil will burn himself... 'Freedom Fire! Burning away the false comfort, setting me free.'

Dear reader! How have you been? I am getting excited now, and getting ready for leaving in a week time! My name is Gepke so I have to still arrange a lot in order to be able to leave but oh well... all will be allright in the end! a man can have many plans but God directs his steps...
I have had some fun meetings where friends and family came to hear about my plans and we had a wonderful time where each of the 3 meetings I saw God working things out faithfully, He is an excellent Father! More and more I learn God is in control and I should trust and let go in stead of keeping things under my control! I did not know how to arrange things, (did not even know what to arrange exactly) but now I came into contact with people who have lots of experience with working abroad/ living by faith/ travelling in Africa.
Looks like I end up flying hauls in Mozambique between my stops in stead of travelling by bus alone. Too many people say it is not smart.... a 4 day bus trip with fixed robbing-spots.. I nearly started to get nervous, but I believe now God is providing so I can travel safe! Wow! Praise God and thanks to people who help me out! :-)
Ok, you are awesome. I am still trying to find a way to publish pictures on the internet, as soon as that worked out you will hear. Take care!
