I know I haven’t written a blog in awhile but since it was Christmas, Debrief, and I moved to a new ministry its been a little crazy! So I thought I would update you guys on what God has been doing in my heart, through my team, and the new ministry I am a part of!
I am currently looking at the most beautiful mountain range and I cant help but in in awe of God. When I came to the Philippines I had no idea that he would take me and the girls on my former team to the mountains. It’s funny because no matter where God places me I am always surrounded by mountains. We came here after an amazing Christmas with Children’s Garden and with the boys on my team. Saying goodbye to the boys from Children’s Garden was like saying goodbye to new found brothers, they each gave us a hug and told us that they would miss us so much. After a bit of trouble getting up here all of us made it safely and unpacked in our new home. As we walked around and explored our home I started to pray. I was so completely at peace being surrounded by gorgeous views, beautiful sounds, and to my surprise a dog who I could finally pet! (I miss my sweet puppies so much…) I kept praying and just thanking God for the time we got at CG, the amount of love that we received and were able to give out was so incredible. Throughout my time there I kept having the story of the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish feed 5,000 men. Now I wasn’t feeding 5,000 men but everywhere I went it was evident. God gave me more than I could ever imagine with our ministry, I was able to experience what it was like to live with street boys also ministering to them, the friendships throughout my team grew even more, and I have continued to just fall deeper and deeper in love with the Father. I just kept getting more and more. Here, being in the mountains I have felt the same thing.
Ok, honestly time. I was terrified to live with 8 other girls for a month. I have only ever lived with boys and even being with 4 other girls was a little much so coming here I was a little more than scared. However, as soon as it was time to leave God gave me peace and as I was praying walking around more peace invaded my heart. We haven’t been here for long but we have worked at a small fast food restaurant, which was stressful the first day but so much fun the next couple of times. It is different ministry but God is still providing more and more everyday. Loaves and fishes can mean many things, my question for you guys is this:
What has God been providing over and over again for you? And How can you continue to noticed those things and thank him for it?
Praying for all of you and I can’t wait to update y’all soon!
