Recently I have been finding my time with the Lord in my
daily life here hard, simply because God has been showing me more and more of
what He sees. The tears He cries, and the joy He feels, He has to stretch me,
grow me and mature me to be able to handle all of this. It is almost like I
want to stay blind. If I could choose to be selfish I wouldn’t go through this.
However, Love keeps me on track. I have to choose to walk in obedience.
When girls who either used to work on the street or still do
are at my door daily in great need, and when our precious staff members fall
into sin, I have to know how to pray. God gave me the revelation while I was
sweeping the Barraca to get ready for street ministry one night. Him showing me
more of His heart, and my cry to pray like Jesus prays. It goes hand in hand.
How can I pray the right prayers for each situation, if I am not seeing what my
Father sees in the situation? I can’t stay blind anymore.
Street ministry is going really well. We have had many girls
come to Christ in our little barraca, and on the street. Some are going to be
coming to learn how to make jewellery one night a week. It shall be a skill
that will one day provide for them. However for now we are going to be
providing for them, as well as teaching them the simple social skills that may
have been lost on the way. We are continuing to do a weekly bible study with
them as well to teach them more about the Love of their Father!
This week is the week we are moving the babies into the new
baby house! Thank you so much for all the time you have put into prayer over
this! God has been so good in providing all that we have needed! For now only
four babies and two of our wonderful Mozambican staff will move in the new
house. Though we do know that it will be filled up very quickly with new little
babies. Continued prayers for that would be wonderful!
I want to pray Romans Ch15v13 over all of you today. ‘May
the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that
you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.’
Love and prayers to you all!
