So we have safely arrived in Swaziland, and have been here for almost two weeks already. We are staying in Manzini on a home stead! I love it! There are chickens, and sheep, and fields, and rolling hills it is beautiful! Our ministry host’s are the sweetest people, we call them Mom and Dad!
The ministry that I am apart of is at a preschool, with about 35-40 4-5 years old’s. They are adorable and hyper and basically the same has children in the states. They love to play and they love the fact I am in the class room. I never in a million years thought I would be in a class room full of students. And I never in a million years thought any one would ever call me teacher. It was the weirdest realization that these children see me as a teacher. All I do is grade papers, but still to them I am a teacher. God as done the craziest things in my life this one was never even on the radar for me. Teacher, AH! At first when I found out I would be at the preschool, I will be honest, I was not really happy. I have no idea what to do with kids. And at home I do not care for baby sitting or watching children. I love how ever giving kids back to there parents. That I am really good at. Even so I also knew God was trying to grow me in a new way. So I asked God what is your purpose for me being here?
So walking into the preschool on the first day was honestly over whelming for me. So many kids all of them wanted my attention. The first day was hard, but I got through it. When I got back home that afternoon I looked at my phone Isaiah 43:19 popped up on my phone it reads; “For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.” I don’t know what you think about that but I believe God is trying to tell me something here? While teaching is not my niche I know God is trying to show me something new. I have not figured out what that is exactly yet, but I know in is timing he will show me what he is wanting me to learn through this experience. I have relented to what God wants for me and put what I want on the back burner. I have not regretted that discussion at all. In fact I have grown more from letting God lead in my life instead of my self.
I will be at the preschool the remainder of the month. So I am excited to see what God does with this new experience!
I do not have Wi-Fi again this month so I will do my very best to keep you guys updated!
GOD BLESS
