No Contact

Its been three weeks.  No contact.  No word. No email.  No texting.  Nothing.

Our friend, Peter, has gone back to the Sudan, that forsaken place of full of misery and danger.  He wants to find his mother, whom he has not heard from in over 5 years.  No easy task.  There are no phones, computers or other communication devices in the Sudan. 

He left with suitcases packed full of shoes for his family.  Sneakers, boots, stompers, just about any thing he was given by friends.  Not much money in his pockets either, just barely enough to purchase a return ticket.  My guess is that he will spend most of it and have a big struggle saving enough to get back to the US.

We may not see Peter again.  He could just meld back into his previous life, or he might surprise us all and return with his family!  What a joy that would be.

Pray for Peter.  He is one man against formidable odds. Pray that he is able to find what he is looking for and in the process, find happiness and joy. Closure is one of the big items on his mind.  Closure on all the what-if’s life has given him. 

Peter, may God protect you and wrap his loving arms around you as you traverse the wilds of the Sudan.  May you find what you are looking for and in the process, find closure and happiness. 

Blessings on you friend!
