This year couldn't have gotten off to a better start. From the word go we are back into family. Serving one another, praying together, laying foundations and growing together towards the ultimate goal - God’s Kingdom! I am SO excited to see what God is going to do, not just in South Africa, but globally in 2011.
My “baby sister” (she is turning 21 in June) has decided to take up the task of doing life with me this year and we moved into our flat in Centurion on Sunday. It’s taken us a good part of the week to get settled in, but I must say it’s starting to feel like home!
As we were spending time as a church team on Tuesday, God gave me the following word for 2011 which is something that has been stirring in my heart since at least December: My life should reflect Jesus as my all in all. His face alone is enough for me. I really want to take up the challenge this year of falling deeper and deeper in love with God and to allow Him to shape me into the image that He sees. I am really excited to be able to share this journey with you. I believe and trust that God will, during this year, give me a lot more detail regarding the calling He has placed on my life and exactly what it is He is preparing me for. There is no way I would be able to get to the end of 2011 standing without each of my partners!!
Jesus said in Matthew 10:40 - “He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me, receives Him who sent Me.”
I’m worshipping and praising God for each of you. Whether it be through financial support or covering me in prayer, thank you! Without you the vision that is in my heart would never be able to come into existence. You are laboring with me in absolutely every step that I take and those who labor unto the Lord do not labor in vain. I honor you for your steps of faith!
I would like to especially thank my parents. They have been supporting me 100% ever since I came to realize the call of God on my life. Mom and dad, you are examples of God’s grace in my life!
Please pray with me for open doors and new relationships to be established on the campuses. Also, please share your prayer requests, as we are all partnering with one another and together we can accomplish the impossible.
May 2011 be a year of intense growth in every area of your relationship with God and also your relationships with people, and may we learn to embrace the fire (Romans 5:1-5).
