Back two days in chilly Cape Town after quite a
substantial stretch in the somewhat warmer and drier climates of Namibia and
Zimbabwe and I’ve already got my famous lists going. Here’s my top 5 reasons
why I’m happy to be home.
1. Clean
clothes
18 nights away, 6 different
places to sleep, a very full schedule and a small suitcase leads to the need to
have my skinny jeans and limited amount of secret socks washed farely
regularly...and when you’re constantly on the move in foreign homes, the smell
of Omo is a very welcome sight!
2. Ster
Kinekor
With the majority of cinemas
shutting down in Zimbabwe due to the skyrocketing prices and burgeoning piracy market, just the knowledge that I can
go watch the latest Hollywood fare with popcorn and coke in hand puts a smile
on my face
3. Photo’s
on facebook
As with most events these
days, everything is put on mainly so that you can tag yourself in all the
facebook photo’s afterwards. I particularly like the picture above cause it
reminds me that popular South African band The Arrows opened for my preach last
Saturday night. Doesn’t happen too often!
4. Life
Changers
The oft quoted, “absence makes
the heart grow fonder” was definitely not first penned knowing that it would ring
ever so true in my heart! But everytime I’m away from home base I am reminded what
an incredible privilege it is to be a part of this beautiful local church here
in Tableview. A church rich in resources, wealthy in community and overflowing
with raw love for her King, Life Changers are a people that are truly
supernatural!
5. Planning
to go again
The nations are our
inheritance. The nations are OUR inheritance. I want to go again and again and
again...and I want more and more people
to come with me! So start saving now...and then you'll be able to start writing your own top 5 lists!
