Crazy Life

I don't honestly have much to report to you. I wish I had a huge praise report to share and encouraging stories of people overcoming. But not anything so exciting yet. To be honest, it has been somewhat of a rough patch for me this past month.
God is moving me into a new season so I am just trying to figure out what that is. This past month has been a lot of orientation for those wanting to serve long term with All Nations. I am praying hard about making a 3 year commitment to work with All Nations here in Cape Town and then maybe farther up north in Africa one day. So, please be praying about that with me. That God will reveal to me if He wants me to commit and if so what He wants me to do.
With that in mind I have been exploring the different passions that God has been putting on my heart and figuring out how to put them all together. I have fallen in love so much with working with the kids and youth in Red Hill, and then I have really loved exploring the Safe House and human trafficking options. I have to ask how you combine all of these? God is revealing it to me slowly and it is a real test of my faith. Being here for 7 months now and the need to know what I would do if I came back next year I am desperate for answers.
Out of this state with so much on my mind I haven't been able to do to much ministry but God does keep me strong. He knows what I need and I know that it is my work to push through the hard times. Even though I am distracted, everytime I take the first step to go up to Red Hill all it takes is the first few moments of seeing my friends and I forget all else. I enjoy so much talking to them, hearing their stories, and playing with the kids that almost anything could hit me and it wouldn't effect me. Strange I know but it is through those times that God is revealing to me what I am doing next.
It is an adventure. One that you don't know where it ends because of all the twists and turns but one you don't want to turn back from. The next turn is scary not knowing where it leads or what it holds but something inside you needs to know so you keep pushing on. I don't know about anyone else but that is the way my life feels.

Well. . . maybe some of the women in the safe house will have children? Praying for you about that 3 year commitment, that sounds pretty big!
