ROMANCE
Romans 1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established.
Most of the places I've been have been spiritually dark with no majesty. South Africa was nice because it was similar to home with most of the familiar material comforts. Mozambique was a great month but the spiritual warfare taking place there and inside me was intense. It was so obvious God was treating me this month in Swaziland. I had never even heard of this country. Didnt know what to expect. Honestly I believed it was going to be a more rural and rougher place than Mozambique. I was prepared for hardship. However, from the moment I stepped off the bus to this gorgeous view I was fighting back tears.
Every morning I woke up so happy thinking … WOW, God is amazing and He loves me so much. I allowed myself to get lost in the fairy tale life He set up for me this month. I worked all month in an orphanage (El Shaddai.) Something I had been praying for all along. Slept in a little cute cottage. Had many deep conversations with God from a rock on the mountain top. No matter where I was the view was amazing … It was hard to believe it was really real. It looked like a mural my father or brother would paint.
Then, I became best friends with a 9year old girl named, Gift! She played with me everyday. She shared her story. She cried and told me how her mother had passed away a few months ago. She saved me a seat in church every Sunday. We told each other fairytale stories. She told me the story of the princess and the frog. I caught a frog and kissed it. She laughed at me saying … "it's just a fairy tale!" I could of stayed in this fairytale forever with God and his precious little Gift.
I thanked God constantly for everything around me. Things that were happening here in the El Shaddai orphanage. The way He was moving in my loved ones hearts at home and answering my prayers. I was high on a mountain literally and spiritually. I didn't ever want to come down. I saw three amazing rainbows during this month. Then at night the stars were unbelievable. God is amazing and I really felt he was catering to me. He was giving me rest and filling me up for what I had done and more importantly for what I was still to do. He spoiled me rotten and made me feel so loved. He thought of and provided everything I needed. I was glowing and flattered!
God is so Romantic! … BIG SIGH!
