Training and Healing

Today was the first of four days of training in Community Health Evangelism (CHE). It's a program that teaches holistic health for communities - physical, spiritual, emotional, mental. It has been a HUGE blessing already...the training has been stellar, and the fellowship even better!!! I cannot begin to describe the encouragement of being around other like-minded Believers with a heart for the nations. At the end of one of our breaks, our trainer, Jinna, commented that she had just been talking to one of the other ladies about prostitution, polygamy, and some other unusual topic I can't remember! I just chuckled and thought to myself, "These are my people!" Not your ordinary, everyday conversation for most people...but definitely normal topics for overseas workers! I love it!

Doing this training is another huge step in the right direction for me. God heals me more and more as I take baby steps forward. It's a positive cycle...I am able to move forward because He is healing me, and He continues to heal me as I move forward. Praise God. I have been amazed lately at how gentle He is being with me during this time of healing. He has been so, SO gentle and patient with me...He is so good, so loving, so kind.
