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!

Precious sister! I'm so happy for you that you can go to Mozambique like you wanted to do! I hope that I will see you one more time before you're leaving.
Mozambique? Sweet. I'm moving to Swaziland in September...a few weeks after I finish up at the Jordan. Let me know how things go!
