Hey guys! first off, Im in Eswatini, Africa! I’ve been here for about a month already with no Wifi so sorry for not posting anything. I want to update you first on my life, we live basically in the middle of nowhere and honestly I dont mind it one bit. My team is assigned a care point about 30 min away from the house and every community has a care point and at this care point all kids come to play and to be fed their meal for the day. I have loved it a lot, this children are perfect images of God’s love. He created them to be mighty warriors of the kingdom.
Now on to the real reason for this blog! Last weekend there was an awakening which is when two or more squads are in the same country at the same time and so we spend the weekend together being poured into, and pouring out to each other.
During this each person had to choose a track, our choices were; Hospitality, Worship, Evangelism, Intersession, and Storytelling. I chose Worship! I chose worship because well I love to sing and I love to sing to God. I was hitting a point in the race of being tired of being afraid and too scared to be bold and put myself out there. I know seven months into this race and I finally get the courage! Praise God!
So from choosing worship I told the team that I’m ready to be bold. So that’s was I did. I lead worship that Sunday and Honestly it was one of the most freeing things I have ever did. I was so nervous but as soon as I started singing everything fell away because I knew that what I sounded like didn’t matter as long as I was singing to my Savoir. There was one point to where before this time I would have freaked out and gotten super embarrassed but during the song my voice cracked… a lot but again because the Lord loves me so much he didn’t care that my voice cracked. My squad mates didn’t care, and amazingly I didn’t care either. It was so freeing to be able to just let go and let God lead. It was a small glimpse of what God can do and that’s taking away all your fears and letting you just live for him.
So next time you know that you’re afraid to do something, just do it. It is so worth it.
