A City in Need of Peace

This post is really just to let you all know that I am ok. It's been a rocky day in Addis, and it shakes your sense of security to hear and feel a bomb go off and then see the smoke rising from it. But I am reminded that our God is our only true security.
Tonight things seemed to have calmed down a lot, and people are moving about the city as though nothing happened. It is a reassuring sign that people are not holed up in their homes as has happened with some of the violence in the past here.
Please do pray for the people of Addis; I am especially concerned for the single mothers and children in our project who live in some of the areas that seem to have been targeted today. This city needs Light and Peace.
