When I started the World Race, my prayer was that God would break my heart for a certain place or ministry and then lead me to what HIS will is for my life. Well this prayer was answered fully month 7 of the race. My Father has broken my heart for Swaziland. It is hard for me to explain in words what this feels like but it is a love and a pain at the same time that wells up within me every time I look into the eyes of these children at El Shaddai. I don’t want to paint the wrong picture, these children are happy, vibrant and amazing children of the most high GOD!!
I look out over the amazing landscape of Swaziland that very few people that I know even knew existed and such peace and joy wells up inside of me. It is unfathomable to me that my Father knew when I was born that He was going to place in my heart a feeling like I have never experienced before. God is so amazing to me, I am truly learning on a daily basis that His plan for my life is perfect and He will reveal it in His own time. If I have learned nothing else on this journey it is to become more dependent on my Heavenly Father.
In Psalm 62:8 it says, “Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.
Pour out your heart to our Father and He will answer and be a refuge for us. I need to stop attempting to figure out what my future looks like when my Heavenly Father already knows every detail of it. Why should I even concern myself with trying to figure it out when THE CREATOR of the universe has it all figured out. What about you??
With that said, I have no idea what my future looks like and how Swaziland is going to be a part of it. All I know right now is that my heart is breaking for this country and the people of Swazi. I ask that all of you pray for me to focus on the rest of the race and what God has planned for me. I ask that you pray that God will reveal to me the way He wants me to serve Him in Swaziland as well as the rest of my life.
Have you asked your FATHER lately how and where He wants you to serve Him?
I want to explain that I am not saying that everyone should travel for 11 months to 11 countries to see where God wants you to serve. I am asking, are you serving Him in the areas of your life that He so desperately wants to lead you?
I love and miss you all!!
Keep the prayers coming!!
Blessings,
Christal
