Life in Cairo: IF HE MADE THINGS THIS BEAUTIFUL
Life in Cairo has been colorful and joyful- even if it didn’t start out that way - and also because I wasn’t very happy to leave all that I loved in the UK just yet. I was crashing out badly and decided to reach out to God for some direction, so I started the Daniel fast and threw in a dry fast for good measure. Let me just say: I wasn’t prepared for how incredibly tough that would be. Mo fe’e ku.
Egypt was taking its toll. For days, I grieved some personal losses, and then I had to finally let go of a relationship and I almost wiped myself out asking why HE had to bring me here! One day, at work, and my boss noticed how dehydrated I was. He brought me water, insisted I drink, (I drank, remembered I was fasting and spat it out, he was livid) but then, he sat with me. We talked, laughed and somehow God used that conversation to get through to me. It felt like a wake-up call.
What hit me was this: Sometimes God lets things break your heart on purpose, especially when you’re holding on too tightly. He always knows what we’re not ready to see. But every time He asks you to let go, He has something better lined up—even if it doesn’t look like it at first. The losses? Sometimes they’re actually protection because He sees a greater purpose ahead.
The best part: I genuinely believe God really likes me—a lot. If you know me well, you probably think so too. The day I finally stopped being a baby and let go, I ‘washed my face’, and just surrendered. I got a delivery of the juiciest, most beautiful fruits (God bless my boss).
Laying it all out, I realized if God can create so much beauty and delight in something as simple as fruit, why should I let pain or disappointment convince me otherwise? His love is obvious—I just needed to see it again. Matthew 6:28-30!
My favorite were the cherries and rambutans (the spiky looking fruit)! My fast got better (so much variety, I felt sustained) - and best of all I had heard from God. I have so much proof of HIS love, I wished I could tell you all on here! But till next time!♥️
Love,
Toyo!
