Yesterday, Today & The Last Full Day in Ghana




---





We're having a big ho-down.shin-dig today. We killed and prepared two goats yesterday. Most will go in a goat soup which I had in Logba Tota, but I took some of the meat and have marinated it with crushed Pinapple and garlic in a ziplock and placed it in the fridge over night. YUM! we'll grill that stuff!





We shopped and bought large quantities of all kinds of fruits and vegetables to supplement the meal. We're actually ging to make our own Fufu!!! I get to pound the casava and plantains in Fufu, while some brave soul folds it!




We searched the market place high and low for gifts for friends and contributors that helped make all this possible. It wasn't easy finding or deciding on what but I believe we made appropriate choices and the folks will like the choices we made.

I really like the direction Rev. James is leading. He is returning us to our first love. He has sought the Lord and relinquished all control to the Holy Spirit. Every meeting and service has been Spirit filled with signs and wonders and people growing hungry for more. At times it's been exhausting to keep up. I know I wasn't seeking as much because I was already full and worn out, but Rev, James inspires to get all GOD has to give! To surrender all.





I believe everyone who is willing to surrender like this will see blessings poured out in their lives that are more than they can ask or imagine. I believe that a fire is starting here and it will take off like a wild grass fire and spread far and wide.

Some photo's from Shopping yesterday -





The cows, the goats the people, dig through the trash.

Usually these women don't use their hands. every where you will see them carrying amazing loads, hands free. All the people are so enterprising. When the government was not supllying the needs and jacking prices up, the people took it to the streets and there are stalls and people walking and selling everything from produce and meats to furniture and appliances. All roadside. Even prepared food and drink, as they snake in and out of traffic along the very busy roads that appear to have lttle to no driving rules. Amazingly their accident rate is incredibly low.

More later... Just wanted to have something up to greet you this morning!
