Monday was Canada’s Thanksgiving. We have three Canadians on this team. So we had as much of a Thanksgiving feast as was possible. We had mashed potatoes, veggies, beef, flat bread, and donuts. It was delicious. And we all ate until we could explode like a normal Thanksgiving. We went around the room and did the typical “What are you thankful for?” However, it was different because after spending a month in Africa, we’ve all come to realize even more,  how much we are blessed. We have so so so much to be thankful for. I loved hearing what everyone of my sisters was...

I have been seen. I have been chosen. I have been pursued. I have been wooed. I have been courted. I have been claimed. I have been won.           It’s basically impossible not to come to Africa and not fall in love. In love with the people. In love with the animals. In love with the land. In love with the way of life. In love with the weather. In love with everything.       Africa is majestic. Simple. Profound. Astounding. Mighty. Beautiful. Loved. Enchanting.

The definition of treasure is anything or person greatly valued or highly prized.    Deuteronomy 7:6-9 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God.  The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.  The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous that other peoples, for you were the fewest of all people.  But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you...

Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you…” -Exodus 33:18-19.   I just wanted to write a blog to tell you about God’s glory in bringing me back to Swaziland. He is so good to me to bring me back here for this short while and Exodus 33 says that God’s glory is seen in His goodness. God is so good.  To be honest I never planned on or felt led in any way to come back to Swaziland this year. The thought never crossed my mind. I had pursued many different options but God always said no...
