I have some friends who are over in Morocco now. In one of their recent updates, they wrote about this word:
* "SABUR": means patience, endurance, perseverance. This is a key word for us....we see with all the stress....that it would be easy to say we can't make it or can't learn the language or even survive....but HE calls us to practice "sabur."
I got teary seeing pictures of you, Jens, looking so healthy after walking 2 miles... This is some serious "sabur"....
As some encouragement to you, today (two weeks after the marathon), I'm feeling back to normal (and finally healthy again) and am back in the saddle (a.k.a. running shoes). Still tying you up in my shoelaces as I know you are in the thick of things up to your ears in meds.... Know that I am praying for SABUR for you both each day... :)
