Joy

Nehemiah 8:10- “Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.â€�   The past week and a half, the team and I, along with the ministry partners in Nsoko, have been hosting Christmas parties at multiple care points and I have to say, Christmas parties are by far my most favorite ministry on this entire trip! There isn’t much to the parties. We play 2 games: a relay race and a donut eating challenge. Then we sing some songs and have a...

Hallelujah!!

Hallelujah! Taste and see that the Lord is good! We make our plans but the Lord determines our steps, and thank goodness for that! Although sometimes it might be hard when things don’t happen the way we would like it to or the way we planned, we should find joy and peace in the change. It’s easy to be angry with God or blame Him for when things don’t happen the way we think they should, when really we should be thanking him for taking us from the path we outlined for ourselves. If you take time to look at it though, our plans are so shallow compared to what God has in store for us. ...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving! I’m so happy today 🙂   So…it’s been a long time since we’ve had meat to eat. We’ve probably only had it 3 times this whole trip. But yesterday we had the priviledge of killing 3 chickens by ourselves so we could eat it today! It was quite the experience. Gross? Yes.. extremely. Repulsive? Of course! The chicken got loose after we cut it’s head off, that was fun trying to catch it again. Thankfully we had some help from some of our friends we’ve made here. They walked us through each step. But are we all proud of ourselve...

Things I love…

I have been blessed to spend three months in Swaziland with 13 amazing women who all have incredible qualities that I love and admire:   Jenn: her incredible servants heart, she loves to do voice and when God gives her something to say you hear the passion she has in her voice, I believe she is like a lion: soft, cute and cuddly as she is friendly, welcoming and relational but she things for others without drawing attention to herself, she is always one of the first people to offer to do the things others don’t want to do and it comes so naturally to her. She also has a powerful also...

Break My Heart.

Break My Heart The song “Hosanna” sung by Hillsong has been a great song for me this trip. In one of the refrains it says “break my heart for what breaks yours, everything I am for your kingdoms comes, as long as I walk from earth to eternity”. Being here in Nsoko, is breaking my heart. Playing with all these kids, and building relationships with people here, has had a huge impact on my heart, especially this week. At the beginning of the week, I met a little girl named Nopinimiso. When I held her, she was burning hot, so I took her to the clinic. She ended up...
