First of all I'm feeling better. Not at 100% but moving in that direction.
Some interesting news. On my new project The Khoulm Road Project, I think I've sent you some pictures and a few comments about meeting the Village Elders and stuff... I was excited to be involved and felt safe.... well I guess you never know what can happen.... I got a call from the office yesterday asking me, no telling me not to go to the site again.... they had received a tip that I was specifically targeted.... that I was know to be in the area and that they were out to get me. Then I received an email from the client today warning me that there was a credible threat of abduction or assassination...aimed at me specifically. I mean how unreal is that. I'm trying to build a road, bring 3 wells to villages that need the water... it is there lifeline for survival and someone is actually targeting me. And I was walking into the villages shaking their hands meeting with the village leaders, walking up in the mountains looking at material sources. I do believe that Someone must have been looking out for me. I will not be going back to that site. But the interesting thing is that I never felt threaten or in danger.
What an interesting world we live in and what an experience I'm having.
(wrote this the next day)
I had a thought. This "attempt" has been on my mind, I didn't think it mattered to me but I couldn't sleep last night. The thought I had was, Mon I went to the site and was going to go back either Tuesday or Wednesday to meet with the Mayor regarding the material sites, size and condition of an asphalt plant we might buy, site visit to the road and village, and rental of the home office. So lots of different people knew I was coming back. Now the bad thing is that as I was thinking last night, in my daily prayers I had stopped asking if it was okay to go or for the gift of the Spirit that was promised in my Blessings to be with me, I had become so comfortable that I was going on automatic doing my job thinking I had paved the road with the people by being open and friendly so everything was okay.... I had stopped including the Lord in that decision.... So if you remember Monday night I felt like I was hit by a truck... I was very sick, hit me suddenly, I think that the Lord took things in his own hands and blessed me again keeping me safe. I don't think I've ever looked at a sickness as a blessing but under the circumstances what else can one think.if I was well I would have probably have gone on both of those days and who knows what would have happened. No I think I know what would have happened. The Lord did save my life.
Now I can wonder why? Or have another example of the power of God and that He is real and does exist.
Another lesson learned.
It is unbelievable to me how many different experiences I have had in my short time here.
My appreciation for all things have increased.
