No easy Choice

As you can imagaine we did not just go, 'hey yeah sure sounds like a great idea' when we were asked to consider moving to Zimbabwe for 12months.

Yes as my last post mentioned we were planning on starting a family (no easy task for us thanks to my genes) this was the third time we had gotten to the point of going down that path in our lifes only to have God lead us down the path of overseas mission. My first reaction was 'oh man not again God cant we just go in a few years when we have kids and they are older, i really though this was our year.' to which God replied this is an opertuinity you have always said you would love to have and im giving it to you now. do you really want it or not? I was a bit like well yes but not yet come back in 10 years?...........:) Its not that I hated the idea of going to Zim I really was excited about the idea I just wanted something else more. However when God speaks we his children should really listen. I started thinking about how yes i want children yes I want to go overseas again but what was ment to be at the top of that list was being where and doing what God wanted. I knew what i had to do.........I just put of admiting it for a week or two till one day we were praying as we had been doing a lot of and Dion said something along the lines of asking God to light up the path to make it clear and well I a person who does not often get 'images' got an image of Africa and Zimbabwe was glowing like no tomorrow it was about then that i said to God ' ok ok i get the point we are going to Africa'
