Before we left for outreach we had pictured the bus ride to Kenya as being the biggest hurdle.  It was a stretch, but God never puts more on you than you can handle.  After getting to the base in Kenya we realized that the biggest hurdle hadn’t been the bus ride alone, but it had been the past three weeks in Uganda.  We had gone into some dark places.  2 Corinthians 10:3-4 says that, “though we walk in the flesh, we don’t war in the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for the pulling down of strongholds.”  Although we had gotten physical rest that was much needed, we had been through a spiritual battle.  It was as though our team was weak from battle.  We were drained spiritually and emotionally.  But God knew that.  He knew just what we needed.  It had seemed to us that our holiday was over and that resting time was over and it was time to jump back into battle.  But God is FAITHFUL!!! What we didn’t know was that He had brought us into our next place of rest… rest for our spirit.
