Sometimes the way God speaks is strange. Who would think that a rusty old swing set would speak volumes.
Last month in Ecuador, the Lord brought to the forefront of my mind a memory from my childhood. Growing up, we had a metal swing set in the front yard. When my dad was mowing the lawn, I would sometimes go out and sit on the swing by myself. As I pumped my legs to fly higher and higher I would look up into the clouds and sing praises to God. When He brought this memory back up, He showed me that He wants me to come to Him like that little girl again. Carefree worship like a child spending time with her father.
When we arrived at our ministry here in Peru I walked through the gate and what did I see? A swing set. I knew He was speaking to me. He was drawing me in. “I just want to be with you.” In Peru, I had some amazing quality time with Him swinging back and forth. It was a great place to process, pray, and worship. He spoke so many things to me out there. I will never forget the loving invitation just to be with Him as He spoke to me through a swing set.
