1/12

After a long day at a new carepoint with tired and badly behaved children,I sit being tosed around on our bumpy bus wondering; what difference can this group of 12 gurls really make? A group of 12 women fighting up against hoplessness,sickness, disbelief, and a nieve currupt government.H ow could we really change things? As I began to think more into it I’m sure one if not all of the 12 disciples had these same thoughts.what can I do to fix this mess? How could I make it possible to cloth and feed all these people? Jesus didn’t choose the best of the best he chose the...

Picture It!

We have gotten to do so many things these past few weeks.  Our main focus is to serve Adventures in Missions with the projects they have going on.  So some of these pictures will show you what we have been up to.    Above is some of our team and another AIM team helping check the quality of Timbali purses.  The ladies who volunteer at the carepoints get the opportunity to work with Timbali and sew purses that are then sold for a profit for the ladies.       This is Brie at one of the carepoints we have gotten to visit.  It never hurts...

Slow Down

   Last night our team went to the AIM apartments to have dinner with two other missionary families from the states. We refer to them as the “Alabama Gang” because they are from Alabama, but mostly because of their awesome accents.    These two families have been to Swaziland before, but this time they have brought their kids along with them and have decided to permanently serve the Lord by living in this beautiful country. As we sat and shared stories about our families and how we came to be in Africa, it dawned on me that I have not actually sat and thought...

GoGo

   Yesterday our team went to help out at a care point where usually 100 or more kids come to eat.  While we were there I felt God telling me to go and be with the GoGos for the day.  (GoGos by the way are the grandmas that prepare the food for the children). I went to sit and talk with the GoGos and God really showed me their hearts.  Each one is such a servant.  They have to prepare food for hundreds of kids each day, and when kids come they are constantly hugging and holding the ones that need some love.     GoGo Gclilei (the Gc makes a...

Dust and Delight

This week, I’ve been encouraged by 1 Samuel 2:8. “He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heep; He seats them with the princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. “For the foundations of the Earth are the Lord’s, upon them He sets the world.” What a sweet promise for the people I spend my days with! The go-go’s, the crying babies, the needy children and the hungry adolescents, each of them will be raised out of these dusty, barren lands and will be seated next to the Creator of the universe and fed unceasingly. The Lord is...

Come and Listen

1st Samuel 3:9 – “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.”      So I didn’t blog last week. I was sitting at the computer trying to figure out what I was going to write and I felt like the Lord was saying “Hey, you don’t need to write about anything right now. Just spend some time LISTENING to Me.” For me, to write a blog last week would have been disobedient.      This past week I’ve been trying to turn my brain off and just listen to what the Lord is trying to tell me. He’s been teaching me how...
