We haven’t blogged for ages as we have been having a really difficult time here at IMC. About a month ago now we had a meeting about our placement in Mozambique. Several things had come together to mean it was getting more and more complicated. We have thought through issues of Malaria safety and also the actual team and roles we would be going to in Beira. Mozambique is a new country for BMS to be working in, and the ‘starting up’ process and networking is just beginning. We decided that we did not feel that it was the right option for us as a family for now. It has been a stressful and traumatic time, as we have been on this road for a long while, and taking another route has been a difficult decision.
So... we are here at IMC and are waiting for a meeting on the 6th December, where hopefully there will be another option for overseas placement. The regional team leaders for other areas are looking through our papers at the moment and we are waiting. It has been a difficult lesson in living in the present, as the future is totally unknown and playing guess God’s plan only leaves us in anxiety.
Fiona hasn’t let it bother her, she is dashing around and shouting ‘HIYA!’ at everyone. She has graduated from calling Mike ‘mummy’ to calling him ‘mummydaddy’ which is progress.
Birmingham is packed full of Christmas already, we ventured in on Saturday with Fran’s sister, and were caught in shopping traffic jams on the high street so bad that we couldn’t even walk!
We shall update further next week after THE MEETING. Please pray for God’s will to be done here.
Thank you !
