My parents recently had the opportunity to come and do ministry alongside me here in Swaziland. I’m so proud of my parents for stepping out of their normal lives to make time to serve with me. It was definitely a week I will cherish.
Thank you to everyone who donated to my parents trip! They let go of all control and let the Lord take over; they were able to raise all of the money!! Thank you Jesus.
I loved seeing my parents on the missions field. This was both of their first time out of the country. I learned a lot from my parents with the time we spent together. One of those is, to not only be willing to serve but having the heart posture to do so. This is something I struggle with sometimes. A “yes” can be easy, but where your heart is at in the midst of it, is also important. They’ve taught me what a true servant looks like.
We had a night where we opened up a space to wash parents feet. I was so excited to be able to do this for them because they’ve done so much for me. I wasn’t expecting them to then turn it around and ask to wash my feet. My immediate answer wanted to be “no.” In my mind I’m saying to myself that I’m too humble for this. In reality my pride was actually the only thing holding me back.
God has revealed to me this month that I am not believing the truths that he says about me. I am constantly telling myself that I am unworthy even when he calls us worthy. It has been a process of healing and the foot washing with my parents reminded me of the Fathers love for me. I don’t deserve it, but he chooses to give it to me. He doesn’t need us but he wants us. We hear that all the time, but really wrapping your head around it is a life changer.
I’m blessed with some really great parents and a supernatural Father.
