My first time as an adult woman

What a funny title? But really it's true. Here's the scoop:

This last weekend I read in my Bible in Hebrews 13:2 about how we should treat those who come within our gates kindly and feed

them and show them hospitality because we could in fact be entertaining angels. It made me think about the men who had been at my house working to make the topography map, I hadn't fed them or even asked if they wanted water and they were working hard all day long. So I thought to myself I want to be the kind of person who gives to people without asking for something back. I know that it's what God would want me to do.

Then today I had the chance to do that, the men came back to finish working and I made rice pilaf for them. I cut and cooked the tomatoes, garlic, ginger, onions and green peppers to put in the rice. Then I brought out the water for the hands just like had been taught, and the only chairs I had (two big plastic ones) and I fed the 4 men who were working at my house all day. It was fun and I enjoyed serving them food.

It made me feel like a proper African woman. It took extra work to cook all of it and now I don't have any more rice but it's okay because I did what God asked of me. To feed those within my gate.
