So I am sitting here in an empty movie theatre. Wondering who will come to watch Queen of Katwe. A movie about a young girl from the slums whose life is forever changed because she learnt to play chess. Wondering why, in a week where I have been listening out for God whispers, I am here, on my moms-night-off (Adam and kids are at the school camp out).
What are you wanting to say, God?
The first few people are arriving. A 60+ man tossing popcorn into his mouth. A row of tweens - sounds like German kids. A single lady, head down. A 70+ man with a crackly shopping bag and a large slab of choc. Now some young Afrikaans kids with their dad. A young black couple, the guy caring and protective.
There is something you want to tell us all. May we have ears to hear, and hearts that are tender.
Sometimes I am scared of what you might say and what I might see. And then I am reminded that you are a Father who loves us. Sometimes I am scared my heart might break too.
