Just wanted to post something because I'm not too sure when I'll be able to blog again!
The past couple of days have been really good!
Thursday after I got online, I got to hang out with our dorm girls(we're all assigned a dorm house of african girls to invest time in). We painted their toenails, danced, and made a dessert. They were so sweet and so appreciative. they gave me a big hug afterward and just told me thank you, thank you. It really blessed my heart!
I honestly can't remember what I did Thursday night... i am exhausted right now. Sorry!
Friday-
I had a coffee date outside at a cafe that looks over the GORGEOUS ocean Friday morning. Oh my gosh... it's GORGEOUS!! It was such a good little coffee date with my house mom. I really adore her! She was so encouraging. She just told me how much of a change she's seen in me this summer and how much you can tell my identity is in the Lord. She just really encouraged me. I know I can come home and tell story after story... but my prayer is that I wouldn't really have to say much. That people can just visibly see what God has done in my life this summer.
I had my practical missions and checked the boys eyes from the base. Special note to my cousin, CARRIE.. I am learning so much about eyes. I really love it! It's really fun! :)
one of the girls in my house had fainting spells all day so I took care of her most of the day. Seriously, i love being a nurse. :)
I hung out with my roommates friday night! I so love my house and my roommates! I have learned to cook so many different things! can't wait to cook them for my family and friends.
The internet in town is still not working so I can't promise that i'll be online this week. I have 2 weeks left and hopefully i can get on once or twice before I leave but who knows... it's africa. the cell phones aren't working. Nothing works! Me and my roommate that is leaving a day after me were discussing today about all the things we look forward to going home to! One of those things is stuff always works at home! Oh how beautiful!
Heidi spoke an amazing message thursday on philippians 2:1-18. Let's just say, we were all on our faces WEEPING. It so slapped us on in the face. But it was so good. I just adore her! I don't think i could ever get tired of listening to her speak!
I had a couple visions thursday during worship. :) One of them was my body on an altar. My flesh was burning, dying. And I have been praying the Lord would seriously kill my flesh because I want to look like Him. Well, that vision really meant a lot to me. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, He is a NEW creation, the old has gone and the new has come." I want my flesh to die because I am a new creation in Christ. I desire that people not know where I end and Jesus begins because I want to be so like Him.
Tonight, Saturday, a guy is coming to prophecy over ALL the students tonight... and my housemom said he did all of the staff and he like "read their mail". she said it was INSANE how correct he was. Like he hears STRAIGHT from the Lord. She said it's CRAZY. they warned us we better repent for anything before we go... i'm excited.
The next 2 weeks are so crazy! I'll be teaching girls ballet at a kids camp, David Hogan is coming to speak, George Banoff is coming, packing up, graduation, going to class, checking kids eyes, marriage conference, church, saying goodbye to my friends here, oh my gosh... something every day!! But, that's good because it'll make the time pass by quickly!
so, if i don't get to update again I will update when i am HOME!!!!!!!!!! :) Please be praying for me and my family the next 2 weeks. We just long to see each other. I've now been gone over 2 months.
Please also pray for my jaw. I woke up this morning in massive pain. My jaw hurts on the left side. It hurts to chew and open my mouth. I took some ibprophen and that has helped the pain some. I have NO idea what is causing this. I have had 18 teeth pulled and my jaw always hurt when I woke up the next morning and that's what it felt like when I woke up this morning. that much pain. crazy and weird! But i REFUSE to let the enemy win. I am child of the Most High and I don't accept this pain. In JESUS name I am HEALED!!!
thank you to each one of you, again, for continually praying for me and lifting me up! I am so beyond thankful to have this much prayer support!
