Mondays are our usual off days. Today I've managed to hitch a ride with our leader, Kate, which is success because usually we would be walking on this very warm Swazi day.


 


We are still in the process of really trying to get our internships, schedules, transportation, etc. all sorted out so we will know exactly where everyone is all the time. I'm looking forward to getting a set schedule and getting in the routine of things so this will become very regular and just part of our daily lives. Because our lives are a mission, anywhere you choose to live is your mission field. Our leader has decided not to make a set time for "quiet time" or time to spend with the Lord because she wants us to choose into it, wants us to make the time, wants us to make a habit of it because in our real lives back home no one will be telling us to go and spend an hour or so with God. Life will just happen and intimacy with Him will slip away.


 

I would like to tell anyone and everyone who reads this an amazing story of blind faith. On my flight from Atlanta, GA to Johannesburg, South Africa… our plane stopped in Dakaar, Senegal to refuel but some people do get off. Anyhow, the man who was seated next to me was 53 years old and that day was his first time being on a plane! He felt the Lord speaking to him about doing mission work in Senegal about 2 years prior and has been planning the trip for about a year. So because the Lord had called him to Senegal he raised over $18,000 without having to ask for a single dollar, it all was just donated to him when word spread about his trip. Now if that's not the Lord totally wanting you to do something, I don't know what is! Haha! Anyhow so he was moving to West Africa to work with the Manjaku people and be a teacher in the community. Oh, and he only packed a carry on with two pairs of jeans and two t-shirts… NOTHING else! He's planning on just buying all he needs there and wearing what the people wear! Be encouraged by this story, friends! God is alive and moving today and will call you to do His work, if we are just willing to listen.
