So… The Media Trek is done 1 week back… Media Trek family is officially OFF. “Daddy” - Kauya (Co-leader) & “Mommy” - Rebecca (Leader) are now “divorced” (Just some funny stuff the family made up). The siblings are all kinda separated now, with Lindsey back in the states.

It got me thinking about the past 2months+ how we had lived together, how we have grown as a family. The dynamics can be crazy sometimes, but all is well, cause we are still a family.

We’ve also transit into different families quite abit:-

OM base in Pretoria, SA, with the MDT people

Antananarivo, capital of Madagascar, with Yant and Miora

Ambovembe, south of Madagascar, with Aliseh, Farah and Herimanina

Mahajanga, north of Madagascar, with the larger OM Madagascar team

Pretoria, SA, with Dusty the crazy dog

Hammanskraal, SA, with Lize and the huge Butterfly family

OM base in Zambia, Africa, with the Agenbag (Kotie’s Family) and the larger OM Zambia Media Team

I started to feel all jumbled and messed up, but in a good way.

Somehow, we are all connected and related (in Christ). This is how heaven will be like, everyone living together as a Big family.

Today at morning devotion, John spoke at the end that Christian Relationships is about Loving and Forgiving each other. I kind of think forgiveness will not happen when we are in heaven, as we will all live in peace and harmony with each other.

So what does that means for now?

To me,

All forgiveness, ALL, has to be settled here on earth, right now.

Is there someone we need to forgive today? A friend? A man? A colleague? A cell member? A fellow christian? Mom? Dad? Sister? Brother?

What was meant to be bad, God meant it for good.

Find the good in every situations.

Great reminder during my QT this morning of a verse that is similar to my verse of the year:-

Jeremiah 17:10

But I, the LORD, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.”

In the earlier verse, it talks about how deceitful and bad the human heart is.

Constantly, God is reminding me about how He will look at my heart.

I pray that I will walk right with God in my actions, but most importantly, in my heart. We need to constantly connect to Him, His word.

To be ALWAYS grateful and know He meant good for us.
