The past two days have been hard but God has really shown me some things. Yesterday I worked in the office all day making crowns for tonight's Junior Youth. I used a copy of the Burger King crown and spent literally 3 hours cutting them out....Esther herself probably didn't have one so great! Thanks BK!
Last night I had Worship Practise and then Prayer and Bible Study. God really spoke to me during worship. I'm afraid I have been so busy with outreaches, and ministry, etc...that I've failed to spend personal time with the Lord! Big mistake...but one that can easily be fixed :) I think with trying to adapt to the culture over here, and the church, the people, and how everything is done in everyday life, I forgot that the Lord remains the same. My walk with Him doesn't need to change just because my physical surroundings have. And I think without realizing it I kinda expected it to. (Obviously our walk with the Lord is supposed to continue to grow - but that's not the change I am referring to) So...I'm back on track - ready to embrace this season...and excited already to put into action the things He has taught me even in these past two days!
Today I worked in the office. Got everything ready for youth (Junior and High School). Both went extremely well!! I had several amazing chats with some of the teens. Two of my girls are working on overcoming some addictions/situations in their lives. I don't want to reveal their names but just keep them in your prayers - the Lord knows who they are!
Had a lovely skype date with Sandy just now! Really miss her!!! Skyping is my favorite! Unfortunately I've been trying to get together with about 8 different people and for some reason we cant seem to make them happen! Still this has been my lifeline out here.
Working all day tomorrow and then I have a possible meeting with one of my teen girls, followed by Street Reach. Busy busy! I'm exhausted so I'm gonna call it a night.
Peace ♥
