Ok so today was just one of those days where I experienced such a wide variety of emotions,ooo when I was up I was soaring on the wings of eagles and then an hour later I was like a deer caught in the headlights.
It all started with my prophetic check-up...yes you read correctly. On our base you can arrange to have an individual prayer time with members of the prayer and worship department where they wait on God to see what's on His heart for the person they're praying for..so they pretty much prophesy to you for 40 minutes. For me this time brought some much needed encouragement and confirmation for what I feel God is doing my life right now....which is kind of scary because I have to rethink some things.God is up to something,I had a feeling South Africa would be a training ground for other things but I don't think I quite understood the importance of this time here,before I also felt like God was calling me to the nations, not just one specific country...believe me in the last couple of weeks I've been trying to pull a " Jonah", telling myself I'm ready to settle down,I was in some serious denial. Anyway this leaves me with a lot to think about...in an exciting way I think.
Then I had a deer in the headlights moment...I will not go in to details.
In the evening I grabbed my jacket( honestly I did!!!) and headed off to base worhsip,about a 10 minute walk on a chilly Cape Townia afternoon. On the way I had to stop to buy electricity..you can buy electricity like you buy airtime,you get a slip and you enter the number in the electricity box( I don't know what its called).So I stopped to buy electricity and met a lady who has visited our community Bible Study,I'm assuming she lives on the streets,I chatted with her,gave her some money for food,prayed with her and was about to leave a when she offered me a jacket,I quickly responded with a no thank you I already have a jaaacket?Looked down and realised that I no longer had a jacket...it must have dropped somewhere along the way...I just thought it funny,some can call it coincidence but I choose to believe God was in it,just the irony of me thinking she's the one in so much need,meeting her need and in the process me having an unexpected need met...the vicious cycle of giving,everyone gets taken care of.
I just thought it was funny...oo I 'm thinking of doing a post about foods from the mission field so look forward to that,and a recipe for chocolate crunchies.
Till next time!
