It feels like just yesterday that we were preparing to go to Africa for the first time, but here we are again. This time though, it feels like there is so much more to deal with before we go! Leaving for a year certainly has more "permanency" to it and my list of things "to do" just keeps growing.
As usual, I find my stress levels rising and my anxiety growing as my mind fills with questions: "who is going to rent our place?" "who can we trust?" "what about our cell phones" and on and on...and then I am reminded to just be still. To be still and listen to God. He does not want to see me living anxiously. All he wants is for me to trust him. A simple thing I seem to always struggle to do.
So here I go...again. Committing to relinquish my worries and fears to a God who loves me more than I'll ever know.
about us
- Tyler and Alicia Ralph
- Our lives were unmistakably changed the day we stepped on African soil. Almost immediately it became a place where we felt and still feel a deep sense of freedom, joy and belonging. It is a place we have eagerly committed our lives to because of the blessing we have been shown by the beautiful people who live throughout Southern Africa. It is a place where there are people we call family; people who embrace us with joy, acceptance and love but who also help us grow by holding us accountable for what we say and do. It is a place that we can comfortably call home and we are beyond excited to be returning to serve the men, woman and children who have impacted our lives so deeply.
