I’m sure most of ya’ll have been in panic mode cause I didn’t blog like at all this past month… so here I am lovers. Well to be a disappointment I cannot share much of my experiences here just for safety of my new friends and contacts. So I’ll just tell ya a bit of whats been going on in my heart and in my mind…
So if any of you know me much you must know i thrive just a LITTLE bit off other people… of the energy of those around me… so im an extrovert… and sometimes i must admitt i get a little worried that if i have alone time or seek solitude I might miss something. So my lovely-wonderful Father has been teaching me to CHILL OUT. Many and i means MANY times in scripture God encounters people in solitude, when they are all alone. Such as Jesus spent forty days ALONE with God, Jacob became a prince when he was alone with God (Zech. 3:6-8), Joshua was alone and the Lord came to him (Josh 1:1), Gideon and Jephthah were by themselves when they were commissioned to save Israel (Judges 6:11, 11:29), Moses was alone on the mountain and in the wilderness bush, Cornelius was praying by himself when the angel came to him… and on and on. The Lord encounters his sons and daughters in dreams and visions… when they are alone.
So after having all of these scriptures revealed to me I still did not understand what the Lord was asking of me… ha i kid. I got it. So “Be ready in the morning, and come up.. present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. And no man shall come up with thee.” Exodus 34:2-3
My God, my Father, the one who spoke everything into existance wants to spend alone time with me? OK, Im in dude. If you want to give me visions, and send angels my way… bring it. I want to spend all the time i can with you. Jesus spent 30 years preparing… seeking… alone with God.. and boy now where is he… oh thats right at the RIGHT HAND OF GOD! So the Lord wants some time alone with me, to mold me, to speak to me, to rest with me, to bless me, to anoint me, to allow me to see further into the Kingdom! Hands down folks, im in. So thats just one of the bullet points from this month.
Something I have also enjoyed is southern food, ok yes, I love all food but there is just something about mashed potatoes… and vegetables that takes me back to the dirty dirty south! And i love it. Our team just figures we should stock up on the comfort food while we can cause we all know that Africa most likely won’t have what we are craving. Just some tiny things that remind me of home here..
grits (even though I dont eat them much, it reminds me of Waffle House.. which reminds me of home)
cold milk from the fridge
bright lipstick (not on me) and poofy hair (from a real curlin iron)
a swimming pool that i dont have to pray over before i jump in… and i can see the bottom through the clear water
seeing on a menu “cheeseburger” and the burger comes WITH the meat and not just cheese and bread
having two knobs in the shower “hot and cold” praise God
being able to sit on a toilet seat
having toilet paper …real toilet paper
teaching some of my new pals the texas two-step
talking on a phone
tile floors
washer AND dryer
taxi’s that are not motorbikes
Anyhow next is Accra, Ghana, Africa. I am not very sure about our ministry yet but my team (increase) will be working with Jubilee again this next month!
Thank you all so much for reading and writing on my wall and all that stuff. More thanks for supporting me and holding my team and I up in prayers. I cannot tell you in how we FEEL your prayers. I love you all so much and I wish I could call or email each of you but that would shut down the whole countrys internet i think.
so i love yall so much a big big thanks again!!!
