Each day I come home and my feet are brown from the red/brown
dirt we have everywhere here! My shirt is smelly and my make-up has worn off. I
don’t feel like the prettiest of girls. After organising my belongings I was carrying
around all day I go and wash/scrub the dirt of myself. I put on clean clothes
and re-do my make-up. I am back to my normal self. Back to the way I like it to
be. Back to knowing I won’t offend anyone with my scent J
God then whispers in my ear, ‘I like it that your feet are
dirty’. He loves the fact that I bring a nasty smell into my house. He likes
that fact that my make-up was wiped off with the first drop of sweat after
leaving the house in the morning. He loves getting dirty!
The message of Iris Ministries is stop for the one. Here
stopping for the one is talking to those digging in the garbage dump that sits
outside our base. Stopping for the one is wiping the tears from a child’s face.
Stopping for the one can mean sitting in the hot sun just to chat. Stopping for
the one is a filthy job, but God loves it!
I am sorry for the lack of contact recently. It has been a
mixture of no time and no Internet! I want to thank you all again for your
support prayerfully, financially and lovingly. I wouldn’t be able to be here
without you guys! If anyone would like to come and visit please feel free! I
would love to have you! We can get busy in the dirt together!
I have put together a video of photos for you all to see
below so feel free to watch.
Love and prayers to you all!!
