I know the Lord is doing so much right now in all of our lives, it seriously blows me away. He is so faithful. He is our strength and refuge. I really don’t know what I would do without Him, I can not live or breath or move or have my being, none of us can.
There is supposed to be another huge monsoon hitting here again, please pray for families and their homes. There is so much desperation here and the Love of Jesus is here, even stronger just waiting to be received. He is waiting with His whole heart open and exposed to His people here. I think they are so humble and have such a fear of the Lord that they don’t know how to come to Him, fearing that He is mad at them for their sin and brokenness, they are ashamed, and so He comes to them, He walks over to them and embraces them....their sin and all. and they fall in love with Him.

The other morning, like around 6am Kayla, Jenna and I went running and ran to the open market to take fruit home with us. In the market, we were completely overwhelmed with begging little kids. The kids had scabs and open sores all over them, missing hair, no shoes, snotty, and big bloated bellies and were touching us and reaching for the food we just bought telling us "humto ka! humto ka!" I am hungry! I am hungry! They were water gypsy kids and their moms would stand back and tell to go beg the white people. There were people crowding in on us from every direction asking for food and to touch them, it was making me physically sick, it was so overwhelming and we felt like we couldn’t breath....and I asked the Lord, "what Lord? what do I do with this? you love your people, let me love them right now. they are desperate" Then we began to lay hands on them and pray for them and the spirit of the Lord took over...they did not see us anymore.....is was Jesus in the flesh and spirit...they got to meet Him, some for the first time. We didn’t even have to speak, He did all the talking….it was silent and yet you could see Him speaking to their hearts. Our hands became His, our faces.. His face. We disappeared completely. It was so beautiful to see the Lord respond to their needs...He came, and filled them.
He reminds me everyday why we are here....He keeps us on our toes!! haha. actually, I don’t know what I am talking about, He knocks me on my butt everyday! Awww! I love following Him, through it all, the pain and blindness, its all worth it, to see even ONE PERSON be touched and changed by the living God!
I’m going with Julie, my housemate to a Muslim village soon to do some prenatal check ups on some Muslim women. We have to dress really covered up, long sleeves, long skirts… to not stand out, even though they know we are Christians, they don’t like Christians and wont let them in their village but because we are midwives and they call us "doktoras" they let us in. I know the Lord is preparing the way ahead of us...I can feel it, His spirit doing things already, preparing hearts already. I cant wait to see what the Lord is up to in this village with these people that he loves so deeply.
