Musings

June 17, 2009
We (Nana, I and a friend) our traveling east on I-40 towards the Petrified Forest in AZ. Nana wanted to see a few places in AZ before she leaves. Father has blessed us with an inexpensive place to stay - Indian Bible College in Flagstaff. Nana leaves Friday - two days. (I wish I knew how to put those little sad faces on here.)



Swaziland support is at 94%. Preparations are going well. The more I read the book It's Not Okay with Me by Janine Maxwell, the more I anticipate my trip and life for the children in Africa.

Recently, I was going through some minor health tests, that were not major, but not made me nervous. I was praying about and thought how minor it was in comparison to some of the things going on in Africa. I was asking the Lord why some people have so much and some have so little. I was sitting there praying for healing of minor issues, when some people don't even have a place to go to the bathroom. Why Lord???? Answer: Sin and people not doing what I have called them to do. What I have asked them to do. Remember Jonah? Remember what it took? Has God asked you to do something for Him, whether big or small, and you haven't done it?

Are we being His hands and feet? Are we doing what the word says and looking after widows and orphans? Remember Jesus is the Word. If the Word doesn't grow hands and feet in the form of us as believers showing His love to others, then the Bible is just another theology book that we run around interpreting. God didn't write a theology book. He wrote instructions for living: Love me and love others be words and action. Have a relationship with me and tell others that they can too.
