African Time

Coming here, we had our plans. We came to Mozambique to encourage Elias and help Him build the orphanage. I (Tara) was expecting this to happen within a couple weeks.
I forgot we are in Africa and everything takes longer.
I forgot God\'s timing is different than mine.

It has been incredible to see how things change. Recently, we realized we were leaving God out of everything. We finally started to seek God and He gave us a different focus. People. We were so focused on the work and the finished product, we did not have time for the widows and the children. Now our hearts have been focused on building relationships with the neighbors who live around the land, finding house mothers, and just growing our faith in God.



What I love, is that we are building a home that will last. A home that is based on the kingdom of God. A home that cares for widows AND orphans. A home that is full of God\'s love. A home that was a vision from God to Elias. A home that will be built in God\'s perfect timing.
