My older brother, Dylan wrote me this email to me the day of my birthday. We talked previously that day but it was 2 o’ clock AM in New Jersey, so he was pretty delerious on the phone. When I recieved the email later on that day I cried while reading it because it’s full of everything I believe and it’s what I want to share with everyone I know and one of the coolest most amazing people I know sent it to ME. So I decided to share it here on my blog for all of ya’ll to read, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!!!   babeeeee i love youuu!!!! Well im sitting here...

My team and I just finished a 60 hour fast, starting Tuesday night and ending this morning with worship and communion. Reflecting on these past hungry days, I can easily see that the biggest lesson learned came within an hour of the first day beginning. Nsipo is out of work. Her husband is out of work. Her children are too young to work. Sometimes there is no food, no water, no comfort. Imagine that. Nsipo came to do our laundry on Wednesday and only five of us had clothes to be done, and only 150 rands to offer. She was expecting to wash the dusty, mud and sweat stained clothes of all 12...

Dear Swazi Child- I saw you walking down the dirt road with your friends. School must have just ended because you were still wearing your school uniform; gold, green and brown from the dirt. When you and your friends came up to the fence I could not really understand what you were saying in your broken English. “Dree� you said to me a few times as I filled up my pan with water. Oh “Drink� it dawned on me so I told you to wait just a minute and went into the kitchen to retrieve a container to give you some water. When I came back out you and all your friends were already by the green...

The past two days we have been fasting. Let me tell you, it has been quite the experience. Obviously as a diabetic I am not supposed to go without food. But as I was expressing my longing to be able to join the rest of the group to God He kept telling me… go as long as you can without food. If you need to take care of your level then do it. But just see what happens, LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOU! So that is what I did. I reduced my insulin and ate as little as possible… and I only had to eat twice in two days!!! I took my level several times a day to make sure I was alright and the Lord...

Ok so it has been a long time since I have put a blog up but the internet keeps losing connection everytime I try to put it up haha so hopefully it will work this time! We had a little change in plans for today. We were originally planning to go to a carepoint and then come blog and stuff but yesterday evening we got invited to go to a school today and were told that they would need someone to have a short message. So we were all just relaxing and Patrice comes and tells us the change and said that we needed to ask God who was suppose to speak today. I knew pretty much immediately that...

Right now I am on top of the world. I don’t even know how to describe the incredible feeling that I have because of what God is doing in my life. Life here in Swazi is so amazing. God is pushing me like never before. We have seen Him moving in so many small ways but I have this hunger for more. I want to see God, see His hands at work, I know He is capable of big things. I cannot get enough of Him. Three days ago we decided as a team to fast for two days and really listen to God. We wanted to come together as a team in unity. I decided to just spend the day on a “Abba and...
