  One thing that God has shown me since being in Swaziland was the authority that I am called to walk in. Luke 10:18   He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” God has given me the authority to do great things in His name. I have been given power over the enemy and have been anointed to do the will of the Lord. Many times in my life lies have been whispered to me that I am too young, I am too unlearned, I don’t...

On Tuesday I went to the hospital and stayed in the children’s ward the whole time. Helelo Improved a lot over this past week so she was able to go home with her mother. I visited with the woman who had a baby next to Helelo’s bed. Her name was Noela Mikango and she was there with her neighbor’s six week old daughter. Noela lives in the appartment next to Salima’s mother and helped take care of Salima and her two brothers Gaby (2) and Nehemiah (5). The doctor came over to explain the baby’s condition to me. I learned that this baby’s mother, Mhake...

On Tuesday, when I went to the hospital, a few interesting things happened. Visiting hours at the hospital are only from 12pm-2pm, so we only have two hours to visit with the patience there. After being in the children’s ward for about an hour and a half, I walked over to the women’s ward to visit with a woman and her two sisters that I met the week before. One of her sisters, Thembile, told me that they had been coming to the hospital every day for 3 weeks to visit their sister who was suffering from stroke-like symptoms. Due to working with broken English and no...

            The last couple of times I’ve gone to the hospital I prayed that the Lord would allow me to share my story with someone there. I imagined telling someone about how I came to know the Lord or even just telling them about what the Lord is doing in my life now. I thought maybe I would be able to share stories about the hard things I have gone through or poor decisions I have made and how the Lord still used those times to refine me.             ...

                Galatians 5 starts out with the powerful phrase, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” You’re probably thinking to yourself, ” Yeah…I’ve read that before. So?” The rest of the verse continues on to say, ” stand firm then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Now you’re thinking, ” Ok, I’ve heard about this so many times. What else could you possibly...

Last week when I was in Manzini I met a woman in KFC named Ruth. I met her by sitting next to her to ask if I could take the table when she left so I could have a place to eat with my friends. I never actually got around to asking her though. Instead I just decided to have a conversation to kill time with. I asked if she was meeting anyone else in town and she told me about her three children who were at the bank at the moment, the were on their way to come back and eat lunch with her. As she told me a little bit about her children and we talked for a few more minutes about what i was doing...
