Those moments don\u2019t last long. Soon the roosters are crowing and people begin to stir.<\/p>\n<p>My bedroom is situated at the corner of the house, and just outside my window is a path that becomes a major thoroughfare in those sleepy morning hours. People heading to the market to set up shop, kids on their way to school, others going to fetch water for washing or food for breakfast. As I sit at my desk, I hear all the morning\u00a0conversations and greetings. Sometimes I even have a few little faces appear at my window to greet me and say good morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At first, I resented the fact that my quiet time wasn\u2019t exactly\u2026quiet.<\/p>\n<p>I was annoyed with the constant humming that went on outside my windows in those early hours, thinking, of course, that I had the\u00a0<em>right<\/em>\u00a0to a\u00a0<em>quiet<\/em>\u00a0quiet time.<\/p>\n<p>But then one day it hit me. As I was listening to neighbors greet each other on the path as they passed by one another, I realized that those weren\u2019t just voices of people, those were voices of people I know.<\/p>\n<p>And not only did I recognize their voices but I knew their names. And not only did I know their names, but I actually really care for those people.<\/p>\n<p>And then, all of a sudden, hearing them greet each other and hearing them laugh from their bellies as they talked with one another wasn\u2019t such a burden.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In that moment, I realized that I love these people. I love this place. And I love that I get to be here and be a part of what God is doing here. That\u2019s not to say that I don\u2019t still get frustrated on some days, but overall the Lord is teaching me to\u00a0love these people and to embrace the beauty in those early morning hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,2_3&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Author bio&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aimint.org\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/04\/Rebekah-and-friend.jpg&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<style> body{ font-family: minion-pro, font-size: 16px; serif; } <\/style>\n<p><strong>Story by Rebekah Saylor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rebekah serves as part of an Africa Inland Mission (AIM) Outreach Team sharing Christ among the unreached Zigua people in rural Tanzania.
