plans

monday we had a clinic 7am-1am, tuesday we got a semi container full of medicine and medical equipment that we had to unload well into the night, and wednesday we had another clinic from 7am-11pm.

exhaustion. and i love it.

i've become a pro at drawing blood.

and one thing that continues to take my breath away on a nightly basis is an african sunset.

i taught a group of about 100 kids how to high five yesterday :)

sometimes it's hard cause i feel like i'm such a small person and this country is in need of such a HUGE amount of help. i wonder what good just me can do but i heard a guy say something really, really cool on monday. he said "you know, i was reading my bible just like any other day and i stopped and it came to me. Jesus didn't stop to heal a crowd, he didn't stop to heal thousands. He stopped to heal one. One person was important enough for Him to make a difference in." and it's true. i'm not called to heal Swaziland, i'm called to be a light to every person i come in contact with...which...may be few...but they're worth it. they're important enough for me to be Jesus to.

so if God has taught me anything while i've been away it's that my plans are not always His.

plans are never solid, especially when you are in a third world country and everything is semi-up in the air. it's not something i'm going to write all about on a blog, because i don't see it being necessary. but God and I have decided that it's going to be in my best interest to head home at the end of august. probably the hardest decision i've ever had to make but definitely for the best. i have confidence that i'm here for this time for a reason and every day is still a day that...at the end of it...i have to sit back and say to myself....wow. because i serve an unbelievable God with PLANS that absolutely blow me away.

saturday is the 100 year celebration of the nazarene church being in swaziland. the king of swaziland is coming to the celebration, my goal is to get a pic with 'em. i may get tackled and/or shot but hey....it's worth it right? :) kidding.
