God Woke Me Up

Posted on Jan 25, 2013 in Faith | 2 comments

So there I was–sleeping.  It was my first night on safari in the Masai Mara of Kenya, five months ago in August 2012.  I had spent the last week at CURE International’s hospital in Kijabe, a city near Nairobi.  I don’t remember hearing a sound in or outside my tent, or being afraid at all; I simply woke up to “CURE Moms.”  The words were not audible–instead just sort of floating within my mind and heart.  It was almost three o’clock in the morning.

I wasn’t remotely groggy; rather, I felt a peaceful alertness.  For a while I lay in the dark absorbing the thoughts invading my mind, but then reached outside the mosquito net for my laptop.  I needed to start writing down the ideas I believed my heavenly Father was giving me.
