Our morning started with yet another road block, regarding the planned art show. We were sent an email which ultimately led to the conclusion that the art gallery we had in mind was no longer available for us to use for our Connect Art Show. We were disheartened, however Pastor Tony suggested that we look into an annual art walk that takes place in Downtown Johannesburg. We didn't want to get our hopes up, but we were excited for this new option that seemed promising and ultimately better for the objective of our art show; especially location wise. Long story short, we come to find that the art walk was discontinued about a year ago. Our team was frustrated and stressed out. We had a huge breakthrough with one of our prayer requests. We were able to voice our frustration and unite as a team. We were obedient to God and decided that maybe we were hitting so many road blocks with the art show because God didn't want us to pursue it further.
After being open with each other, there seemed to be a huge weight lifted off our shoulders as we were able to be vulnerable and open with one another. We continued our day driving through downtown Johannesburg and even stopped by some local street markets.
Prayer requests:
1. Some of the ladies have been having trouble sleeping. Pray that we may all get a good night's rest so that we may be energized and renewed each day.
2. Please continue to pray for our health and safety.
3. Pray for our connections in Johannesburg. That we may continue to meet new people and build our relationships with those we have already met and been in contact with.
4. Pray for our team unity and that we may continue to open up to each other and become a family.
