One thing that being in a third
world country has taught me is to not take for granted the blessing of
consistency found in the United States.
Here, life is inconsistent.
You never know when you might return home to a house with no working
electricity. If the electricity is not working, you won’t be able to cook your
dinner, take a shower, or recharge your dying computer. You never know when the Internet might
go out for hours and you’ll be forced to reschedule your Skype date with a
friend. You never know if the
roads will be clear enough to get where you are going in time. You never know if the grocery store
will have what you are looking for in stock. The list could go on and on.
So,
I am starting to thank God for each little moment He gives me. Today I am thanking God that the
electricity worked long enough for me to shower, that the Internet, which has
been going on and off in roughly 5 minute intervals, worked just long enough for me to
submit my homework to Moody, and that the power went back on in time for me to
warm up some tea. I used to take
these things for granted, but when they could disappear at any moment, I
realize just what a blessing these things truly are.
