Growing up in the United Sates, I was taught to be independent. Yes, Pastors at church would say that it is important to be dependent on God, but there wasn’t a huge need for that to transfer into my everyday life.
Let’s face it, I always had food, I always had a place to live, I had a car that I could jump in anytime I wanted.
Yes, there were things I would ask God for. Please provide a job. Please provide my support, Please do such and such and help so and so. But even in this, I mostly depended on myself.
During training this week, something (the Spirit of God?) inside of me started asking for a heart of dependence.
I’m not going to lie, the selfish part of me hopes that I don’t get what I’m asking for.
None the less, I just really think that dependence is key to survival not to mention freedom, life, and transformation.
With that said, Monday my team (of six women) is leaving the house we are living in to go work with Orphans here in
Swaziland . We will be there for at least the next month.
Swaziland . We will be there for at least the next month.
We don’t know where we will be staying or what we will be eating, and we haven’t been promised the luxuries of running water/ electricity.
I already feel like I’m in over my head, but that of course won’t be a problem if I am dependant on God.
As you pray for our ministry also pray for favor with the community, love and unity within the team, and against the spirit of fear.
