WOW…today has been an exceptionally good day.
I was up ALL night long with stomach problems after eating a very interesting meal, called “hot pot”.
So…needless to say I woke up not feeling so great. I made myself get out of the bed and go to breakfast where I decided to be safe and stick with bread. About half way through I wasn’t feeling so great so I went back to the room to lay down.
Over the past couple of days during my quiet times I have had something revealed to me over and over. I have been told that this is going to be a big growing time for me. Since we are here, we don’t know the language, and really the only way to reach these people is by intercession I have been so excited. He has told me over and over again that during this time I am to stay constantly in intercession and he is going to do something BIG…so be expecting.
Last night and all morning long my quiet time was incredible. He has been showing me some amazing things, though there has not been anything big…YET…I know that it is coming because He said to expect it.
Early this afternoon I got to where I was feeling a bit better and I was so hungry, so we decided to go to lunch. I was so excited and ready to eat some good food. Since we do not know Chinese, we are strictly relying on this phrase book to get around town and eat food. SO, we wanted sweet and sour chicken. Our phrase book only has sweet and sour pork and since this is such a large Muslim community…no pork. So…we decided to show them sweet and sour pork in our book and then point to chicken…that makes since right? NOT when they brought our food to us it was a whole chicken…you heard me…a whole chicken. I was so grossed out and since I was already feeling sick I decided to leave and go back to the room.
I go back to my hotel room open the door to find Jessica and I am greeted my a Chinese man that speaks English. What…I was so confused. Then I see Jessica and realize that this is a doctor friend of the guy that brought us here. He proceeds to tell us that he is in town and has a friend that wants to take us to his village and have dinner.
We travel about 20k up the mountains to a village that has never seen white people before. They were so very very hospitable. We go in and they greet us so very warmly. They had a table set for us where they insisted we set down and let them serve us. They treated us like kings and queens. They served us so much food. It was such an awesome experience to be in a home full of Muslims, but at the same time have other believers with you. 
After dinner we were able to walk down and visit the mosque.
This was such an incredible experience. It is so crazy. As we walked the entire village would come out of their house and follow us. And the kids…of course the kids stole our hearts and they were drawn to us. As we walked the village we stayed in a constant state of talking to daddy and at one point we were all walking and singing songs to him.
Ahh…this was such an amazing experience.
Please lift us up in that he will bring more people to us like this that we can talk to and minister to.
My talk with daddy today I asked that he would bring at least one person in my path that I could connect with and pour into. Please ask this with me and keep lifting up the something “big” that I am expecting.
I love you all so much…he is so so good.
