My team was working in the “bush” of Mozambique this past month…
It was delightful!! We were tenting on a farm, with geese and ducks that would sometimes wake you up in the middle of the night with their squawking!! It was perfect…no electricity to distract us, an amazing cook that fed me beef three times in one day, sharing Jesus’ story with churches that don’t quite understand the Gospel, and loving people who are beautiful!! What more could you ask for!??? I loved this month because it was a life of simplicity and serenity out in the middle of nowhere with few distractions!!
The Lord really challenged me this month, breaking off a lot of fear and anxiety about the situations that I know I am unable to handle on my own…more about all this later as we have limited internet!
For all of you who have emailed me and sent me beautiful words about all your prayers, THANK YOU!! This month I could not have done it without you…the enemy was fighting mercilessly, but God is BIGGER!! So thanks for your prayers, and please know that I will try to reply to your emails as soon as I can.
I love you all and am so thankful for your support and prayers!!
And I must finish with a brief description of January 17…we traveled to the beach on a flatbed truck to a secluded beach that was beatufiul and breath-taking, had a steak and potatoes dinner back on the farm, played PIT (much to the chagrin of some of my teammates!! sorry!!), and had a beautiful day with my “family.” It was wonderful, not anything I ever expected to experience on my 30th birthday, but oh so beautiful and perfect for me!! Jesus really loves me!!!!
