Burnt to the Bottom of the Pan

I was surrounded from all sides with children staring intently on the task that fell so heavily upon my heart. Their faces were like open books seeking the chance to be read and understood. Each face pleaded with my soul and cried out for someone, anyone to be attentive to the need that has been ignored their whole lives. If it had been an adult it would have been seen as pathetic or annoying but because children were the owners of this so prevalent need, their sincerity could not be ignored. I was their glimmer of hope and their outstretched hands portrayed that sentiment perfectly....

Kingdom Vision I stand on golden door steps I see a huge door covered in diamonds, pearls, and blue gems The door swings open and I enter in I see a waterfall and a large pool of water underneath I jump in and float around as if the water was air I never felt so free and safe. I see a beautiful tree with a single fruit The fruit is on the highest branch all the way on top I leap up to the top of the tree and eat the fruit When I’m done eating I jump off as if I were inches away from the ground I had no fear, it never crept in my mind I tilt my head towards the sky and...

aMAZEing

About a week ago I was sitting outside reading next to one of my leaders, Michael. He then randomly asked me if I had a book with mazes. I told him no and then I asked him why… you never really know what is going through his head. He told me that he wants to create a maze all over the yard and make the team walk through it. Ahhhh… see what I mean? I really didn't think that we would ever actually do it but before I knew I it I was sitting next to him trying to design it. Believe it or not… it was actually a ton of fun to make. We used yarn and nails and the maze...

Are you married?

Yesterday Sam, Ashley, and I were just innocently standing by the side of the road waiting for Eugene to come pick us up. When suddenly this rather tall woman approached us, speaking to us in Swahili at first because Ashley was there and they all think she’s African. We told her that we weren’t understanding so she started speaking the small amount of English she knew. She proceeded to ask us each to give 10 shillings to her daughter, we all didn’t have any money on us so we said sorry we can’t help you. But she didn’t stop there… she reached behind me...

Reflections

We read it in the bible and hear stories from other people…but it actually happened…it actually happened… This happened the day after Michael (guy that was in a coma) woke up from his coma. As the team and I were praying for the sick and going around to each of the beds talking to people, one particular woman caught my eye towards the front of the room. We headed to her bedside and found her curled up with her knees to her chest…her right hand and arm were moving about randomly and she was shaking uncontrollably. Her mother was by her side and she told us that her...

Visions

So as most of you know by now God has done some cool stuff…things I would try to describe as EYE POPPING, SO REAL IT SEEMS UNREAL, “I ALMOST PEED MY PANTS” KIND OF CRAZINESS, MIND BLOWING, HOLY SPIRIT RIDICULOUS, and SHAZAMMIN. Even those words don’t begin to describe what God has done here in Busia…but on to what I want to share… While the team and I were praying for Michael, the guy that WAS in a coma, God gave me a vision of what, where, and who he was fighting locked up within his head battling for his life and soul…I got this vision in...
