Hello everyone! I just wanted to inform you on how the holy spirit is moving in my life right now. Please reply back and let me know how he is moving in your life as well. As most of you already know I was origionally planning on going to the January world race but God redirected my path. When I was at camp I heard about the 2 yr descipleship progam in Swaziland. A group of people going out to live in Swaziland, Africa for 2 years, to desciple each other and to go out and make desciples. My hearts cry is to build relationships and to love the unloveable and to reach the unreacheable. I beleive the Lord spoke to me and told me that I would be living there, being consistant with the people of Swazi. Praise God! As a couple of weeks went by, I also had a burning desire to go to India as well and I just didn’t understand why? So I Just decided Lord I can’t make these decisions, I don’t understand why I knew you called me to Swazi but at the same time I have a huge burden for India as well. So I just prayed and asked God for his revelation. As faithful as our father is, He opened a door for me to go to India to a lepor colony and to love on 240 orphans, Nov 26- Dec 6, praise God! The descipleship team lives in North Carolina until God realeses us to leave for Swaziland. I went to visit them last week while still having a burden for Swaziland and India. When I arrived with this wonderful team instantly i felt connected with this group as if we were family! When we are together in prayer and ministry it is powerful! This team balances each other out so perfectly. It as if God pre-ordained us to be a team (He Did!). One day we went to a nursing home to fellowship and minister to the elderly (I love them, their so CUTE). And our gifts just flowed so great together! There is this one lady named Edna May and I accidently kept calling her Erma Jean (dont ask, I have no idea) and she loves for others to sing and dance for her. Well my team insist that I dance for her and at 1st I was like “Noway, are you crazy, I am not about to make an absolute fool out of myself.” But then I looked over at Edna and she was so excited, smiling and clapping… So my team gave me a beat and I danced. Ha ha Although I felt like an absolute fool, her precious smile would be worth a thousand embarassment moments. I tell you that story to tell you that God may takes us out of our comfort zone even if it is as silly as dancing to bring joy to the hearts of others. The week went on and the last day, the team sat me down and told me they felt I was apart of the family and If I wasn’t on the team, they would feel like a part was missing. I told them I felt the same way but I didn’t understand why I still had this desire for india so strong. Then the team informed me, we would be going to India for about a month. I suddendly had peace knowing that this is what the Lord has been doing all alone. CONFORMATION! Encouragement to you, If God is laying something on your heart and it doesn’t seem to make since, Just rest in knowing that he has his perfect will for your life at hand! He is forever faithful and will never leave or forsake you! As of right now I am in Colorado at Gary Black’s being a nanny to their 6 wonderful children and dog (Joey) while he and his wife Lisa travels to Swazi to find their home because they too will be living in Swazi. Praise God, He continues to connect me with a body of believers who will be living and ministering with me in Swazi! Please Pray for them as they travel, and pray for favor over their lives! Also please pray for my team Marisa, Anne, Heather, Tim, Erin, Colt, and myself for God to release to go and be with the people of Swazi! We covet your prayers! God Bless you!
Love,
Nichole
