I am not sure what the future holds at the moment for Egypt. So many things have happened over the last week. Life as I know it in Egypt will never be the same. At least that is what I keep hearing. I am not saying it will be bad or get worse but life a little over a week ago has changed. I know there are still lots of people out at liberation square and they are not leaving until the president steps down and they are calling tomorrow "Resolution Day." As I ventured out yesterday to go pay some bills I felt all eyes on me. As I entered TE Data and found I was the only foreigner in there, I was a little uneasy. I know they looked at me with questioning minds. Thinking :Why is she still here?" ,and "Why is she not afraid?." I have been asked this many times since this whole thing started. I had my chance to leave, a way out if you want to call it that. But I never felt called out by Him. I feel He led me here for a reason and I am staying until I feel like He wants me to leave. After leaving TE Data I walked across the busy street to catch a taxi to road 9. A smile spread across my face as I see 25-30 Egyptian youth cleaning the streets. They have bags and bags of trash that they have collected. As I walk a little further on down, women are smiling at me and telling me hi, when before I would try to smile at them and they would just glare at me. Yes, life as I knew Egypt once to be may be changing but who knows so far the changes have been good! I know that His hand are in all of this and big things come out of change. Well this is a big change, so I know BIG things will come. This nation can be changed and hearts are turning to Him. Little by little people will come to know Him, there is a HUGE door wide open and I am SO excited to see what comes of it. I am SO excited to be a part of it. So yes, life as I knew it in Egypt will be forever changed in the events that have happened and have yet to happen but as I sit here and drink my tea I can't help but smile, knowing that I too have been forever changed by these events. What is to come? Only He knows and I trust that I and this country are in His hands!
