sitting at the feet of Jesus

On Monday we went to a wildlife reserve park.  We spent a couple of hours driving around, fully embracing our American tourist-ness.  We were a little disappointed that a giraffe was not seen, but we have not lost hope…we will see one!  After driving around we ended up at a picnic area.  We chatted for a few minutes then split up to spend time with our Heavenly Father.  I began my time claiming John 10:27 that as a child of God we will hear his voice and know that it is Him.  We had two hours to spend in God’s presence and seek Him regarding His will for our time here in Swazi.  After listening to a few worship songs, the Lord opened my eyes to the reality that there is so much witchcraft here; He reminded me of the verse, James 1:27, that we are to look after the orphans; and he also gave me a passion to spend time discipling our two girl translators (aka ministry partners), Matthew 28:19a.  The two hours flew by and when it was time to regroup I was wishing that I could keep hanging out with Jesus.  Spending time sitting at the feet of Jesus can not compare to anything in this world. 

We still have some details to figure out before we have a set schedule, but it has been extremely rewarding as we have been seeking the Lord.  Right now it looks like I will be spending most of my time at the hospital and at care points.  I’m really exited to see relationships already begin to form as well as start to build more relationships.

Please continue to pray for our team as we are still seeking the Lord for his will for this trip.  Here in Swazi things rarely remain consistent so we want to always be willing and ready for any changes that will come our way.  Also pray for our team as we live in community with each other.  It has been going pretty well so far but we recognize that it won’t always be easy.  There has had to be lots of dying to ourselves and taking on the form of a servant (or at least we attempt to do that).  We have also had experiences with evil spirits attacking our teaming during some nights (check out Katie Tupper or Landon’s blog for more details, swaziland.adventures.org).

Thank you for all of your prayers! I would not be able to make it without it. I love you all 🙂
