Sitting in the one roomed care point in the middle of nowhere Africa with a little boy whispering a phrase I didn’t understand over and over again in my ear broke my heart. Not knowing what he was saying only knowing that he was so cute I called the translator over asking what this precious little boy was saying. She explained to me how he was asking me to bring him some rice and beans to him tomorrow. As she told me this my heart broke once more realizing that I was looking down at a hungry child. God changed me at that moment and I will forever associate hunger with this little boy. When I read in the bible about the hungry, poor, and fatherless that God commands His children to look over that small child is the one I will be thinking of.
I hate the way I have been thinking about Christianity. Right now God is pushing me to understand what it means to be a child of God instead of an “American Christian.” He is opening my eyes on how to live on pure faith with no gimmicks! I love Africa- Especially Swaziland- it’s reshaping my mind! These children may never understand how much of a blessing they really are but they are currently changing my life! I can’t wait to thank them and truly celebrate with them in Heaven!
Sorry for the fast blog. Prayers to all who read!!
