Starting the first night in Nsoko, multiple of us have seen lights in our rooms in the middle of the night,myself included. And while truthfully it freaked me out when I saw it, God has also reminded me how much of a difference one light can make. As I watched this light,it was glowing so brightly by my bed and yet my bunkmates didn’t stir one bit. And it was so bright! I still don’t know how they didn’t wake up to it. It glowed so brightly and so far and it didn’t it me then but a few days later: we are all lights. I knew This before but to have an actual...

Like an Avalanche

â€œAnd I find myself here on my knees again, caught up in grace like an avalanche. Nothing compares to this love, love, love, burning in my heart.â€� During this trip it has been a long slow process of God teaching me to give it all to Him and rely on no part of my own strength because in the end even if my strength is enough to get through the day it wonâ€™t provide what the team needs or what I really need either. So it might be ok, but why stick with ok when you can have something much better? So it not only holds me back from my true potential with God but also the lean and what God...

It amazes me each day how many things I take for granted. These kids here in Nsoko have so much responsibility! There is a family that lost both their parents and the oldest girl who is 13 takes care of her family. Wow! Most kids here only get one meal a day, if that. They work hard and go to school. They are missing out on their childhood! My heart is breaking for these kids. I want to give them all the love I can. I wish I could take them all home with me! Lord, I pray that you bless these kids and shower your love on them. Let them feel your peace and comfort and continue to help me...

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...

Running over.

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...

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...
