It is HOT! Thankfully God is giving me grace and I can go for a swim in the ocean whenever, but it is hot here :) You get used to constantly sweating....BUT please pray because our water is off again and all I want to do right now is shower :) You all should come to Africa HAHA!
Okay down to the good stuff. It's crazy how fast the weeks of flown by but at the same time it feels like I've been here for years. I have 3 weeks of school left and I know the best is still yet to come. I still learning to die and give total control to God. Its so funny how we try to manipulate God...thinking we know whats best for our lives. I'm still learning to give everything over to Him and honestly I don't want to live life by my own plans. My plans just leave me empty, unsatisfied and messed up. Its laughable that we try and tell God how our lives should be. Its only when I'm living in complete surrender that I find myself living the greatest adventure of my life and I'm not bogged down complacency and unsatisfaction. Thats where I've been the last few weeks. Just being 100% dependent on Him....knowing that I can't even breath without His help.
I hope you all are doing well! Thank you for all your prayers. God really has been speaking to me and laying other nations on my heart. Closed broken nations that are starving for the truth and God is preparing me to go and lay my life down. Its an honor to lay my life down for the one I love and I can't wait to openly worship Jesus Christ with my brothers and sisters who haven't been able to for so long. We really don't realize how good we have it in the States. We just had a geust speaker come and he was in a closed nation in Asia where he was able to preach the gospel for the first time to thousands of people. We saw a video of it and I can't get what I saw out of my head. Pastors crying because they could openly worship Jesus and they were crying because they saw the shift in their government to allow them to continue to worship freely!!! Thousands of people running to receive Jesus....falling on their faces because they were so hungry. Yeah I'm excited for what is to come!
Thank you for your prayers toward my health. I'm feeling 100% better! I was also able to go on another outreach to another villege this last weekend. I don't have time to write about it but God did amazing things! The blind saw, people were baptized and many came to know the Lord. It's been an amazing time.
Depending on God 100%, that’s a great place to be! As you know, he is the strongest when we are the weakest. And as we decrease, He will continue to increase in our lives JP. It really comes down to a matter of trust, doesn’t it? Jesus never told Peter to come out on the water. He just said, “come to me.” It’s never about the water, bills, illnesses, loneliness or the trials. It’s about Jesus. It always has and always will. The quicker we realize that, the quicker He will be exalted and magnified in our lives!! I love you dearly sis...praying for your continually.
