First, I want to thank all those people who have been praying and do continue to pray for us. Without your prayers and support we would not be able to even survive. Without God's help and His continued faithfulness we would not be able to continue or even be alive for that matter. So a very big Thank you !!!!
Because of your prayers I really believe a breakthrough is coming.... how? what? when? I do not know, I just feel a sense of anticipation in my spirit. I am so thankful to God for the things He has been teaching me. I have been reading a book by Mike Bickle called "After God's Own Heart" and in there he talks about getting to know the emotions of God..... I am only on chapter 5 and already God has renewed my spirit in ways and places that have been dead for a long time. I simply can not fathom that overwhelming love God has for me, and the fact He actually enjoys me..... that just blows my mind.
Second, I also wanted to testify of God's protection and faithfulness..... if you will bear with me I would like to share an excerpt from my personal journal.
July 5
"God is faithful..... one day i was walking and its like He said 'read Ps 121'. i knew that was 'i lift my eyes up to the mountains......' so i thought it was just cause i was so focused on the mountains on the land.
i read the rest of it and it's about 'the God who watches over Israel never sleeps or slumbers' and 'as the mountains surround Jerusalem so He surrounds His people' and 'the sun will not harm you by day nor the moon by night'.
when i got home from the farm i had this bemba song, Talala, in my head. i said to myself "why am i singing a bemba song when i hardly even know what it means?"
it's like God said He liked that song and it meant that He never sleeps, so it reminded me again of Ps 121.
then i finally clued in! He was trying to show me how much He had been protecting us....
on the trip we were almost hit by a semi not once but 3 times.
the first was on the way there. we were parked at a lay by and this semi swerved off the road like a crazy man and sped through the lay by. we were still in the car. Praise God i was not out with the dog and also that i had parked on the inside .... praise God not the other side or he would have hit us for sure.
then on the way home there was a semi passing another semi and he was not going to make it back in so i just slowed right down. didn't really even think much about that one until......
on the Kabwe road it happened again. but this time the semi was trying to pass a whole row of semis (prob 5 or 6) and there was no way he was going to get back in so he actually ran me off the road. if he had gone off at that speed he would have overturned for sure so it was better i went off the road as i had slowed right down already. Praise God it was at a point it was even possible to get off as that road has so many places where it would not have been possible.
so when i remembered all that i thought truly our God never sleeps nor slumbers but He ALWAYS watches over His children.
almost seems like someone is out to get me... what the enemy might not know is that instead of adding to my desire to give up and go home it actually make me want to stay..... that i might be doing the right thing.
Praise God for His Protection."
Truly our God never Sleeps nor Slumbers..... talala Yesu!
