A Perfect Gift...

The past month has been...I don't know how to describe it, really, but it's definitely been good, great, amazing in so many ways...


This absolutely amazing guy in the picture there with me has been a huge part of why I've had such an awesome month, not because this month has been all about him, or because my life is all about him. Rather, he has weaved himself into my life, and, in the most beautiful way, the most loving way, he has brought me closer to the place I desire to be- at the feet of the One I love!!!... I have learned lessons in faith, 'letting go', receiving... I have come to know God's goodness in such a real way, I have forsaken fear for faith and am ready to go where I know He is leading me...I have learned to hear clearly as He speaks to me...I love it...I am so thankful for the perfect gift He has given me in giving me Lungile...

Only You...

Only You

David Crowder

Take my heart, I lay it down

At the feet of you whose crowned

Take my life, I’m letting go

I lift it up to You who’s throned

And I will worship You, Lord only You, Lord

And I will bow down before You only You Lord

Take my fret, take my fear

All I have, I’m leaving here

Be all my hopes, be all my dreams

You're my delights, be my everything

And It’s just you and me here now

Only you and me here now

He calls me His Beloved, His Child, His Friend...

From Christ For the Nations Institue

Jesus the most beautiful
Name of all names
Jesus the only Name
that brings healing and strength

When I speak Your name,
Mountains move, chains are loosed
When I speak Your name,
Darkness flees; it has no hold on me

Jesus, most beautiful name that I know
You're the exalted One
Jesus, You have the power alone
You lift the lowly one, Jesus

Jesus the most wonderful
Name of all names
Jesus the only Name
that brings freedom and hope

Be exalted, Be exalted
Be exalted higher and higher!!!!

Zim pics and details coming soon! :-)

" If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid. There is Another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony He gives about Me is valid." John 5:31-32...

I read John 5 yesterday, and was going to read chapter 6 today, but when I opened my Bible this verse from chapter 5 stood out to me...

I learned many things from the most amazing man ever, Lungile Ncube while I was in Zim, and one of the things I learned was that I really do have an unhealthy concern for what people think of me. Now, I strongly believe in being an example and living my life aware of the fact that I am being 'watched'. I believe I need to be accountable to people and should be open to advice, correction, etc, but at the same time, I cannot let people's opinions (good or bad) determine the decisions I make in life....

In the verse above, Jesus said, He knew that the testimony His Father gave about Him was valid. The more I know what God says about me, what He thinks, and truly believe that, the more freedom I will have to live the life that He has called me to live( a life that will be filled with challenges and opposition and trials and times of questions and doubt and being 'alone' etc)...this is one of those things that seems obvious, and we talk about all the time, but some of us a little slow and take a while to get it! :-)
