So, according to my last blog, I was headed to Lesotho this past Saturday. Well, our plans got changed. Again. But that is the beauty of being a missionary. You never know whats going to happen. God likes to keep you on your toes! I wanted to see Lesotho, but its a total blessing that we decided to stay here. God has been moving a ton this week.
First, I went and visited Mercia on Monday because she was sick. As we were talking to her and filling her in on our plans, she told us that all the Sisters were asking about us while we were in Cape Town. I know that seems really trivial, but its HUGE. I mean, they know us…and actually missed us. I was totally pumped. The clinic this week has been great too. They all seemed so excited to see us and so interested in what we’ve been up to. Its just been a blessing.
Secondly, this week I have been able to spend a lot of time with the Lord. Its been incredible. On Monday morning we went to Cape St. Francis and sat on the rocks. It was beautiful. I got to find a cleft in the rock to sit and rest with the Lord. It was nice to have the solitude. God just really spoke to my heart. On Tuesday, we headed for a mountain close by to do a free hike. No trails. Just straight up the mountain. It is probably one of my favorite things we’ve done here. We were able to put on our ipods and just go our own way. I spent a lot of time climbing rocks and processing a lot of what the Lord has been doing in my life. It was really cool though for me to do something both physically and spiritually tough. As I was starting up the hill, I felt like God was calling me to Him. In Psalms 24 David ask “who can ascend his holy hill? Who can stand in His presence? Only him with clean hands and a pure heart.” I was not only climbing a mountain physically but spiritually. I took my time heading up to the top and used it as a time to clean out some places in my heart, and allow God to point out any wicked thing in me. I want to be a woman that can ascend the Holy Hill of the Lord and just sit in His Presence. I want to be apart of the generation that seeks His Face with everything that I have.
I thought that going to Lesotho would be a time where I would have a chance to be pushed my the Lord and also to find some extra time to spend with Him, but I was wrong. I have been so blessed to have that this week. Our leaders have done a great job of allowing God to come into our midst and push us. Thank you for all your prayers, and sorry for any of you that have been praying for me while I’ve been in “Lesotho.” God is still moving here in Jbay:)
