  Do you know what it feels like to be called by God to something? I do. Often it starts out as a feeling or an idea that grows and I pray about or God presses on my heart until it become obvious that this is what God is saying. Sometimes. Sometimes, it doesn’t take that much work or thought and its just right there ‘This is what I am calling you too’.  Like, I wanted to come to Africa for several years. But it wasn’t until now that things started to fall into place and I started to ask God what His plan was that I am here. Now, I feel that God called me here.  ...

I love those moments when God chooses to reveal Himself to us, those moments when God is so evident in our lives. I love when I can look at an experience and say “That was so God.”  We often have worship as a team. Something that we have been learning and living is that worship doesn’t have one set formula. It can look different for everyone. The other night, we sat outside and marveled at the night sky that God created. Then, we started talking about experiences that we’ve had where the only explanation is God. I’m going to share a couple of mine in this blog...

1 Corinthians 13:8. Love never ends.   Something God has continually been speaking to me and revealing to me for the past month and a half is the fact that love never ends. A while ago I started studying the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22 and the first part of the fruit is love so the thought that love never ends comes from dwelling on the fruit. Stop and think about it for a second. Love never ends.   Love never ends.   Ever.   Never.   John 15:12 says, “This is my commandment that you love one another as I have loved...

These are some verses that Shannon shared with me this week that pretty much describe what the Lord has been asking of the rest of our time in Africa: “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.” – 1 Timothy 4:12 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the...

Transition from timbutini to nsoko We have finally settled in into our new home in Nsoko. It’s been an interesting past week and I can see that God will do amazing things while we are here. Our ministry here is almost the same as it was in Tbutini. We are going to carepoints and house visits. I am also getting the opportunity to help teach in a preschool on site and it’s been a good experience. The kids can be wild, but I still love them. It is also really hot here in Nsoko. It has reached at least 109 degrees farenheit. We are sweating constantly but God is definitely working...
