I saw God
Yes, you read that right.
I saw God and more than one time. Crazy right??
Y’all, let me just start out by saying that my God is SO good. He is so kind. Loving. Understanding. Forgiving. Caring. I could go on and on but I think you get the point.
He sees when you are struggling the most and knows WHAT you need and WHEN you need it. I am not going to lie, I have had some hard days in ministry. When I was dreading going out the most, thats when I went to God the most.
One day I asked Him for 4 things. Dancing, laughter, hugs and children. Do you know what he gave me that day? Not that haha but don’t worry.. His timing is perfect and I have come to realize that. I trust him and His timing. The next day we went back out and in the last 30 minutes of ministry for the day I found a group of CHILDREN with one of my teammates. We were able to pray for them and after that WE GOT TO DANCE. And LAUGH. And HUG. My heart was very happy. God knew what I needed and in those children I could see Him. It was so hot dancing in the sun and with all the dirt but seeing how HE answered my prayers was amazing.
Fast forward to a couple days later when I saw Him again.
We were back out in ministry but my morning didn’t start out like a normal ministry morning. I ended up staying back and helped cleaned the church we have been partnering with. Plans changed (as they mostly do when working in missions) and I was about to go back out with a group. The group I was with had plans to visit a lady and give her a bible. The JOY that was on her face as she received her FIRST bible was amazing. I could see God in that.
After that, we went to a daycare. If you know me any at all then you know I have a heart for children. I was able to hold a couple babies and I SAW GOD. The details and the work He did to make such a beautiful creation is beyond me. The way they smile and lay their little head on my chest. Their little hands and feet. Babies are such sweet gifts from Him and I am telling you, I SAW GOD IN THE FACE OF THE BABIES.
He has been showing Himself to me over and over again. In His creations, such as nature. In His Sweet people. In food. He is everywhere we look. We just have to be willing to take the time to look FOR him.
Thanks for reading and keeping up with me. Its been a wild ride so far and I still have 2 more months left. KEEP the prayers coming. I can see them at work!!!!
I love yall and miss yall so much!!
LOVE, Casey Lee 🙂
