Wow! We have been here for about 2 weeks now, although it seems a lot longer than that! God has already been moving in me these last couple weeks especially since i have been struggling with homesickness! God is good though. We have been continuing going to the carepoints, and i love seeing all the kids faces when we show up! It is so sweet and letting them climb all over you! Some boys almost broke my back by trying to get on it! But i loved hanging with them every moment. Being here has been hard work, but i enjoy getting to know this different culture out here. It makes me realize...

What do you think of when you see or hear the word beauty?   Here in Swaziland beauty has been one single word that overall describes this adventure the past couple weeks. Here beauty is courage, complete trust, a humbled heart, a life fully surrendered and submitted to God.  Gods light radiating through His children, quietness, confidence, stillness before the Lord, contentment, growth in Christ Jesus, unity with Jesus and believers, joy.  Knowing and believing who we are in Gods image.    1 Peter 3:3-4 Our beauty should not come from outward adornment, such...

If you would have shown me where we would be staying. Or told me that our lovely outhouses were towards the road and have no doors, I would’ve thought long and hard about coming.  At home I learned we would be having bucket showers. I tried to figure out what a bucket shower is.  I asked my family. Some thought it would be a bucket with a hose. Some thought a bucket over top with a shower head. Nope. A bucket shower is just what it sounds like, a bucket of water.  But by dirty day four I could not have been happier for that bucket shower!  So, the firt little...

I need Africa more than Africa needs me. There are a lot of stories I could tell you and a lot of testimonies I could give you about being back in Swaziland but there is one lesson I have learned that has been made more clear to me since arriving last week and I would like to share it with you. This is the second time I have been to Swaziland, I LOVE this country, and I can honestly say that God has used bringing me here very strongly in my life to change and grow me. When I initially came to Africa in 2008-2009 I came to help, to serve, which I did but I have come to realize that God...
