Hello Everyone,
So sorry that I totally was not blogging but I was so busy getting ready and just alot of things had to be done.  Right now I am already in South Africa, Polokwane with the Raley Family that graciously let me and 5 other Short termers stay in their home before the Outreach starts.  That would be May 31, and we leave at 430 a.m. to get the move on towards Mozambique.  Right now I finally getting over my jet lag which is ridicuoulsly is annoying.  God is so amazing in so many ways, He has already opened my heart to people that are in the house hold and even to the ones at church called, Christ Baptist Church.  To start off, the flight here was crazy Long, and I at least go to meet this young man named, Cody Hixon who which is from Oklahoma to come here to serve our Lord with Samaria Misson.  
     Now to get to the amazing part of all!  we have had Devotions as a whole group every morning and it is just so great to have that together to know what we all can focus on before going to serve in Mozambique.  The first one was one Forgiveness, and how we are called to forgive like our Lord forgives.  It says in Matthew 6: 14-15 " For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Forgiveness is part of Love, if we exercise our heart to forgive then we can be spiritually ready.  We Christians cannot have grudges on one another, we have to enter any situation with a clean, pure, forgiving and most of all loving heart.  God has given us love and forgivness to show to others that we are different and that we are here to show GODS LOVE.   That is the great spiritual gift that we are given when we are saved by our Lord Jesus Christ and it is great to clear your heart out before doing anything to serve the Lord somewhere where there is lack of God in the solution of the area.  My call is to go out and spread the word of God and to show how a Christian Woman is suppose to be like.  
    The second Devotions which was yesterday night (Tuesday May 22,2012) was on about ' Finding your Spiritual Marker." Mark Raley asked us all a question, the question was referred  like this, " Do you know where your last Spiritual Marker was?  Do you remember your first Spiritual Marker?  How can you use your Spiritual Marker as a reference to a situation?"  Those are great questions and it should not take you time to figure out when  your last and first Spiritual Marker was.  Now to those who do not know what your ' Spiritual Marker' is, this is my own definition about it.  A Spiritual Marker is a place and time when you first made site when you thought it was ready to turn to the Lord your heart and everything and becoming a servant of the Lord.  If you dont remember your Spiritual Marker then make one soon, so you can remember when you spread the word of God and when you made a person or even yourself think about what God has done with your life.
    The third Devotion was today at 9am right after I worked out and everything.  We talked about Philip being Obiedient.  In Acts 8: 4-8 says, "Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.   Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.  And the multitudes with the accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.  For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.  And there was great joy in that city."  Philip was am amazingly great example of being a servant for our Lord.  We are doing the work of God for His glory not for our SELVES.  That would be the biggest issue is that some people would look at themselves and not even think about God being the focus on everything.  Prayer is what comes in if you ever think that you are the most important ever.
    That is what we have been doing for Devotions and I am so blessed that we get to do that and just know eachother by that.  The Outreach Missionaries have been Busy for the past couple of days.  We have been unpacking all the tents and preparing them to sleep in, all the Action Packs to be all cleaned out and to be stuffed again with the kitchen supplies.  Then preparing the sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets for the cold nights in Mozambique.  God has blessed me and the other Missionaries with a family that cares and loves us, and for the others that have been around and it is a great honor to be serving for Samaria Mission and to get to know all the people that is part of this amazing Outreach Team.  I will be back with some more things about beautiful South Africa. 
Baie dankie vir gereed God seën
