Hi friends!

How are you! Just loose your self in a moment of worship, looking at the face of Jesus and you will be refreshed, knowing that you are His beloved. If God is for you, who can stand against you! Will He who gave His only Son to die for you, not also give you all things?

So I am preparing for Mozambique for sure now, in october I will be there praise Jesus! I hope to learn a lot on workng with children, the little ones Jesus loves so much! Many are dying daily of poverty and disease, but Jesus came to heal the sick so I believe I will see Him work in awesome ways.
Yes, rescue those dragged off to death- won't you save those about to be killed? If you say 'we knew nothing about it', won't He who ways hearts discern it? from the Bible, Proverbs 24:11, 12.

Lately I saw the recording of Invisible Children in Northern Uganda. About children abducted to fight and kill in the Lords Resistance Army. I have not seen such a cruel thing before in front of my eyes. I was undone, grieved in soul and spirit. I cried, screamed and for days I could not do much. When after 2 days I came in my church to worship I fell on my face and cried again, not knowing what to do with such intense destruction, with the images of the children in my head, their lips cut out of their face, their skull cut open, 8 year old being trained as killing machines, having to start with their own families. Then when on my knees calling out to the Lord and focussing on the fact that He is good and bigger than the sorrow I had seen a little 3 year old african boy came standing next to me. He coughed. Twice since the first time I heard him I still wanted to focus on the Lord Jesus who only can save. So after this next sweet little cough I heard I looked to my side and there he stood, his beautiful eyes looking into mine, smiling. He stretched out his little had and put it on my heart. His other little arm he put around my shoulders. Instantly I felt Jesus restoring my soul, telling me He knew what I tried to carry. I could give my sorrow to Him, a bit at least, and I felt a pure love flow into my heart. The little boy was so wise and understanding. There were no words that could add to that moment, it was a purity from heart to heart and Gods Spirit to mine. Children are wise! A moment later my pastor called for the congregation to prophesy over the children and lay hands on them. I could still not stand. Men I tell you, just set children free in their calling, letting them be guided by the Spirit to do what Jesus did, we will discover on many issues they will teach us, not we them. I really had to give over my sorrow to the Lord (of 'Lord, how is this possible, how could you allow this to happen??' I know it is not His fault but still you carry that cry in your heart when confronted with the horror that is happening in the world today, especcially when it involves children.) I needed mnore time to hand it all over and let the Lord heal my heart, but knowing that He was close and saw what I experienced helped a lot. Just imaging that the eyes of the Lord behold all that happens on earth, He sees all the destruction, pain and sorrow, and even suffers of it all in His sensitive heart! So again I felt my call to reach out to the dying and suffering children confirmed.

May be not all adults/ people understand me or have faith in me, I think it is okay, for the Lord is building something and as it unfolds in my life people will be able to trust it and support me.

Bless the Lord, my soul, and praise His holy name!

Did you feel the mountains tremble!
Hey friend!
So you are reading my blog!! I am honoured! So ok, let me give you some more to feed upon. Some more info about me, how am I doing?! 27 yrs old since last monday! Sounds different but don't feel the difference! Look at this sweeties: Jackie, Tina and me. Miss you girls!

Please can anyone tell me: how do I put my photo in my personal profile?! Blog analphabete...
Really God is shaking something! Calling His children to draw closer to Him, to live a live of intimacy with our Lord! To hear the heart beat of the Father and not let our hearts be hardened! Oh I am still preparing and praying to leave to Africa, I am longing to reach out and give out what God has given me: so much faith, Hope and love! There is no thing that is too hard for Him! But to be obedient at this very moment is more powerfull and valuable than many words, and it is just that that we find hard sometimes. TO just be obedient. In order to be obedient we have to hear His voice. And in order for us to hear His voice we must be close to Him. Are you not sure you are hearing Him? Make sure, it is vital. Give Him time, draw close in worship and prayer, just waiting on the Lord. Being faith full, that is what He is trying to this me. To be faithfull and act upon what He has been showing me. Oh how I love my Lord Jesus!

At the moment I am preparing for Africa: studying the language, studying the bible, trying to be faith full in the small and trusting Him to do the big. I am trusting my Lord to send me to Africa (Mozambique and elsewhere) to help with the poorest children, to see them get hope and a future, may sound impossible but not with Jesus!

Thank you for your love Jesus! Funny, personal, intimate. He sees me when I lost hope, am lost in my little circular thinking pattern, staring out of the window, searching for Him when He is right beside me, jelling on the streets about His faithfulness, cheering about His love for all people my eye can see. Having fun with my family in Christ.

So I am doing well. Meet you soon hopefully somewhere on our treasure hunt!
