We had a meeting today and are now going to Kathmandu, Nepal in the Summer! We are really pleased as we have had a really difficult 3 weeks of waiting to see if BMS would repost us somewhere else following us deciding that Mozambique was too much for us as a family at this time .
In the waiting time we have been learning about the real discipline of taking each day as it comes, without any future to speak of, to plan for or to get worried about (well, maybe worry has been a bit more of a discipline to keep away!) We have felt God speak into our circumstances about His light being to our feet, meaning we should take each step and let His path stretch before us in the veiled future.
The confusing part is that we have been offered a 2 year post, when previously were going to just 'live' with an indefinite timescale. We are still going as long termers but the future beyond this 2 year period is still to be illuminated. It is still our intention to get fully immersed in the Nepali culture and be the best witnesses possible.
The last few weeks of uncertainty have been hard and tiring and it is such a pleasure to have a sense of peace about where we are going next. We both felt this was right for us as a family and that total agreement is very rare, further confirming this was right.
