As fall begins to approach the questions seem to arise more frequently,
"So when are you leaving?"
"What are your plans for this fall?"
"Are you returning to Africa?"
Everyone knows I never stay in Sheboygan long, I'm always off again to the next place, so as the time nears they begin to wonder. To be completely honest I cringe everytime I hear the questions. It bothers me so much because I don't know. I don't know what's next. This has been an extremely challenging summer for me. So challenging that it's hard enough to just get through the day, so I haven't had the chance to plan about the future. I've been in this rut unable to step forward. I was very convicted however the other day. I looked at my life and realized how much I had become consumed in the problems around me, so consumed that I had neglected my relationships. I feel at times we become so inward focused on the trials we are going through that it becomes a trap disabling us from reaching out to others. When we do this we are allowing our troubles to have so much more control. It is as though we are handing our lives over to the hardships at hand. I refuse to do this anymore. I will not allow stand still and let the world pass me by. God has called me to a purpose and I will continue to live each day according to that.
Please pray for me as I continue to step forward in faith trying to find out what the Lords will is for me. I greatly desire to return to Jeffreys Bay and continue to work with 7th Heaven. My heart longs to scoop my kiddos up in my arms and love them with everything in me.
Please pray also for my fundraiser coming up. I am doing a fundraiser at the Pizza Ranch to raise money for the childrens home. It will be held August 23rd at the Oostburg Pizza Ranch.
Somedays I just grow so discouraged and feeling alone in this ministry and I just need to be reminded of you guys who are behind me in all of this. If you want to continue to step forward with me please let me know. Please remind me those of you who keep posted on here and who are praying. Thank you all so much. You mean so much to me. God bless. -Sama
