I'm back in Sierra Leone now, having had a lovely time at home with my wonderful family and friends. It has been so great to have seen so many people,and I've really appreciated people allowing me to sleep in spare beds, come and go often, and of course all the lovely food, hot baths, glasses of wine and conversation. Oh and thanks mum for doing all my washing, not to mention a wonderful Christmas dinner!
So I hit the ground running in Sierra Leone, meeting a girl at the airport who needed a bed for the night, then sorting out a insulin dependant diabetic who had left her insulin in USA, then only to discover that I'd been robbed of my emergency money and my return flight tickets from my bedroom while I had been away.
I'm gutted really, as it seems so unfair that all we try to do is help, yet still people ask of more. It could only have been people who I thought of as friends and it is more the mistrust of the relationships I'm so sad and disappointed about rather than the money.
I know that God will have the final justice, and that ultimately Jesus was cheated and mistreated so many times in order to bring us our salvation on this earth.
So things can only get better I hope. I'm looking forward to seeing my kids again next week - always a source of joy, and I hope they've all moved on in some way.
Happy New Year, praying God's blessings on you all as life takes it's twists and turns...hang on tight to the one who gives hope – Jesus.
