Number ?: Of Mice and Women

Been a while since I've posted! Sorry! :)

Since we've been back from Cape Town, we've had some visitors. Mice. They are so extremely loud!! They run across the top of our cabin and then come into our cabin just to freak us out. We've killed one, Gus, but there are others. Yea, no fun. They keep us up at night. Thankfully, Papa Steve has gotten poison and such so hopefully we'll get rid of them! :)

On to ministry...

We went and did hospital ministry last Friday. It was amazing!! Sad, but amazing! There was one girl in particular that stuck out to me. Her name was Lee and her boyfriend had found her after she had taken some pills to commit suicide. It really struck a cord with me. As I was praying for her, she opened her eyes and looked at me. She said, "He left me a long time ago. He isn't here." It broke my heart! To think that people fully believe that Christ doesn't care.... I mean, I've been there, but it's still hard to see. I haven't been able to go back, but a lady from Alabanza has been back and Lee's been discharged! Praise the Lord! I'm praying that the Lord is healing her heart and restoring their relationship.

Today we went to Alfie's school in Atteridgeville. I don't know how to spell the name. But we did a promo for camp; the second week of camp will be at the school. The kids all look nice because of their uniforms, but most of them are on scholarship. After the assembly we hung out with the kids for a bit while Teresa and Steve met with the headmistress. One of the girls told me that she recently transfered schools and is failing terms. She doesn't have the back knowledge that's expected of her. She said her parents have told her that she's a waste of money and doesn't deserve to go. Also she's afraid of showing her father her report card tomorrow (the term ends tomorrow). They all have rough home lives and it breaks my heart. Pray that God will come and rock their worlds!! That they would realize that they are worth everything, including God's own Son.

Relationships with the other interns are getting a LOT better! I think they're starting to open up, which is good. I still don't think they have a relationship with our Father, but I'm praying and hoping and convinced that it will come before they leave to go back to the States. It's who God is to meet us. He won't let them down. Even if they don't know that's what they're looking for.

God's showing me a lot about who I am in Him. I can't remember if I've posted about this or not... oh well, I'll post it anyway! :)

I've always had the head knowledge of the different things we are in Christ. But somehow along the way it met a roadblock on the way to my heart. It never became the central part of my identity, never became my core. The most important part of who I am is "Abba's Beloved". I'm the beloved of the Most High King of Kings. That blows my mind, and I hope it always will. There's so much more, but I don't have much time online so I can't post it.

Sorry this post is a bit spastic, but I'm running out of internet time!! Back to the land of mice and women!

With love
