No clue of what title to put?

The past few weeks have been INSANE!!!!

We have had to say goodbye to many new friends that were made but are glad to be saying hi to new ones.

As some of you know the new intake of Footprints arrive this weekend, super exciting!
Scary to think I have been here for over 5 months already, but also great cause I've learn't so much.

I'm asking that you pray for the Footprinters, that they would find their place within the organisation and feel like they are part of the family.

I have officially moved up to the Lodge, a farm house up the road from ASM campus.
Sunday afternoon after soccer with the peeps I moved all my stuff up the road.
Its really cool up there and I have one of the comfiest beds ever.

Please continue to pray for our partners in South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland, Zambia, DRC, Nigeria and Malawi.
The guys that are out there every day are heros and deserve our prayers.

Blessings to you all

My place

I wanna just say hi firstly to you all, thanx for taking the time to read my blog.

well this past week has been a very busy one indeed.
I've been helping fix the old Masoyi offices on ASM campus to get them ready for Hands.
I've painted so much that one of my shirts now is basically a new shade of cream, luckily the paint is waterbased or I would have new high-lites in my hair.

When I first started working on the offices I thought it would just be another job, but the longer I spent there the more I felt God say many things to me.
This week has been a growing experience for me and boy its been intense.

One thing that I have to keep reminding myself is that I can't do this on my own, I need the people around me, people at home, people that I haven't met yet and most importantly I need God to help me daily.
My strength is nothing without Him.

I've been thinking a lot about what exactly I'm supposed to be doing in the organisation and its taken me 5 months to realise where that is.
I feel God has put me exactly where he wants me and that is in the construction/Handyman department.
At times it can be a bit much and I just wanna throw it all up in the air and quit, but thats the time I've realised that I need to draw closer to God.

God knows your heart and we may be able to lie to each other but there is no way we can lie to him. And if we try resist the will of God he can very easily pick us up and move us back on course.

So where can we go from here, well there is only one way and that is forward.
No ways do I wanna head backwards in life(Imagine being back at school?)
I wanna run to my father daily and never look back with regrets, so should you.

well im off.
love to you all

I leave you with a question: What is God calling you to do? and are you following his will or are you pretending to follow it?
