Well, I’m officially back in Jeffreys. Oh my gosh!!!!!!!! At first, the thought of coming back kind of stressed me out and frightened me a little bit too, but I have to say, now that I’m here, I am sooooo thrilled to be back. It feels like I have only been a away for a few long weeks. Oddly its familiar…kind of like home. I like that feeling. We arrived in Port Elizabeth late last night and made a long hour drive down to Jbay. We unloaded the students and ALLLLLLL of their luggage…and finally made it back “home” to the house I lived in last year. Its so crazy! I was so excited to be back and have the opportunity to unpack so I think I stayed up WAY too late…probably like 2:30 am. oops!
I thought I would sleep in to get over jet lag, but that was NOT the case. I woke up pretty early with too much excitement to go see some of my favorite people here….of course the Sisters at the clinic! I got up, got ready, and went to the clinic as fast as I could. I don’t think I could have dreamed of a better hello! Every single one of them was SO excited to see me…even Sister Meyer (She is a tough cookie). It was so great. I think that I teared up just a little bit to know that I was missed so much, but also feel like I was right back in a great place. Of course the clinic was packed as always, but it was a good time to love on the Sisters. I think God used my coming back as a testimony to each of them. I didn’t realize how much it would mean to them that I came back just to see them. It was soo cool. Oh, and Sister Meyer…yeah…she totally wants to go to dinner with me. AWESOME. She has a hard heart. Pray that God would soften it.
This afternoon was spent “laying down the law” with the participants. Not so much fun, but needed. We want them all to be safe. I think is going to be a good year. I just have that feeling. I’m excited to see what God has in store and what He is going to do in the lives of the people here and in the lives of our students. God is going to free them. He is going to restore them. He is going to bring his people back to His heart.
I love you all. God bless.
