One of the things I miss the most from my time in Mozambique is the night sky. It was beyond amazing~it seemed like the Southern Cross was over my head every time I lifted my eyes to gaze at this incredible view of the Universe. One night, while the cooking team was cooking wood sausages over an open fire pit at Bethel Center, we gathered to stare into the flames and wait for dinner. One of the guys from South Africa began naming the constellations and introducing us to this new night sky. He used a flashlight~a flashlight! It was as if he had a pointer and could trace each constellation with this simple beam of light.
Imagine~something as ordinary as a flashlight, in the right hands, could make such a difference. I hope and pray that God uses me in that way.
I miss the night sky like I miss the wind.
