I feel like God is leading me into some sort of spiritual boot camp. Not in the sense that there is an angry drill sergeant, but rather an intense stripping and refining of who I am. Every time I go and spend alone time with God I feel so unsatisfied with myself, and it presses me towards change. God is shining his gentle clear light on the deepest places of my soul, and it’s kind of uncomfortable. I think he’s preparing me for something, but he may just be drawing me closer to himself.
For the next week I really feel like God is wanting me to spend time in John 15, The Vine and the Branches. If you would like to pray for me, you can pray that God would lead in me into what “abiding in him” is in it’s fullest sense.
“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love.” John 15:7-9
Ministry is great. You all can continue to pray for Nhloso, my little six year old boy from the hospital. I found out that he has been there in the hospital since September, and he has no one there who could even pay for his stay or take him home. I have no idea what God will do with that, but please pray that God would think up an awesome plan for this little boy. He is overflowing my joy and songs whenever we see him, but it’s about time he got out of the hospital and into a better situation.
