Peaceful Swaziland
In my month in Swaziland I found a lot of peace, and it was a peace like I haven’t felt before, and I am thankful to God for that since prior to coming to Swaziland, towards the end of the month in the Philippines, The Lord had been speaking to my heart about trust, and what it truly means to trust Him, especially in hard times.
During that previous month, I had experienced some really hard times and through it, I realized that God was growing me in trust.
Part of trusting Him, was sometimes being in the unknown of things, and trusting that He would be the One to take care of my life, and He would guide me through it all.
In my month in Swaziland, we were located in what it felt like in the middle of nowhere, and I didn’t have access to wifi, which it truly helped me with some parts in trusting The Lord, and being in the unknown of things. I thought that not knowing would be killer, but it wasn’t
I found a peace that can only come from the Lord! And being in the middle of nowhere in Swaziland helped me to open my eyes to all the beauty that God allowed me to see and have all around me! Africa is a continent that is really dry, and yet full of beauty!
I am truly finding a love for Africa!! This country holds some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets that I’ve ever seen in my life so far!! In my humble opinion, I truly think that they are so much more beautiful than how they are shown on movies, like The Lion King. God has also allowed me to see the most stars I’ve ever seen! In Swaziland I got to see the Milkyway Galaxy for the first time in my life!!! The night sky here is just so pitch dark because we are in the middle of nowhere, and it helps to see the stars so clear and they shine their bright and beautiful colors! I’ve found God’s peace as I sit and just admire His beauty. And I trust that He continues to have control of my life and everyone else. God is a good God!
I wanted to share this because I want to encourage you all that if you’re ever going through hard circumstances, sit still in the presence of God, take moment to breath, pray and trust that God will take care of things, and than you’ll be able to also notice all the beauty that you have around you and trust that your peace can only come from God and that all things will be ok, and God will help you through it all!
May God bless you and love you all!!
