This will hopefully be a short update :) Just wanted to fill in everyone wrt to my work situation as I occasionally bump into some of you ;) or hear from you and then people don't know what is happening as i havent officially updated the group though in my status messages may have said something.
So right now I am working.. :) God said "Follow me" and right now that means being home, working and paying off debt. So since last year about Sep I have been working in Admin for my father, which has its pro's and cons but I am grateful as I have learnt alot - PASTEL Accounting :) I am contributing to my family, I know what is happening in our affairs ;) lol, And Just ja I am learning alot about the building industry. Then about April, I started working as a trainer in a Educator Computer Skills project, this is not a permanent job but more on a project basis where I have had ten schools assigned to me that i need to attend 2 sessions with each. I don't know if I am part of the bigger schools contract, or what the future holds concerning this, but for now I am grateful enjoy visiting schools in now Stellenbosch, Paarl, Wellington, Past Wellington and De Doorns :) I enjoy meeting educator staff, seeing the heart of the school and esp. helping teachers of who some are very afraid of the upcoming computer exam. I love the variety.
So I don't have all the answers with regards to the future, and I have stressed about it, but now I know, it's OK! As someone said today God lets us know things on a need to know basis... Also this video by Jason Upton (at the end) really helped me relax in that it's ok that i dont have all the answers :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp2PsTrjfmo&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
Ok enough about work (I'm not doing to well in keeping it short either)
but just as i get paid i pay towards debt, i possibly could have been done sooner, but I have come down quite a bit since being home :) the bank doesnt call me :)
Then wrt to upcoming mission trip :) I said Jan 2011 I am trusting to be back in fulltime missions, I am not, BUT God has been faithful in allowing me to take part in shortterm missions sort of the first being the YWAM team coming to Cape Town, I got to take off a week and volunteer/staff/work/stay with them...And now I have an upcoming mission with our Every Nation Church in Bloemfontein, in a little town called Groblershoop in the Northern Cape. (Also have gotten to visit YWAM Worcester once and YWAM Muizenberg twice in this year)...
So from 1 - 10 July I will be there and it will be serving, building relationally, and seeing what God wants in the future for that town...like the ten spies. the team comprises of 8 from the Bloemfontein church and I basically know no one else :) which i am a bit nervous for, But I cannot deny the excitement I have for being a part of this. This is the first time I do missions with my church, which I think is a good thing, so I dont have opinions, but am involved... We will see what God is going to do through this... honestly last week I felt like I dont have enough Love in me, to love others, normally this comes naturally but its not coming now, but after Sunday church chatting to some ppl and worship the evening, as someone said it's not YOU, it's not YOUR LOVE. it's God in you that will give me the Love, hte answers, etc. I'm just a vessel. And its a privilege for me to be a part of a team going to Groblershoop to be a vessel for God to do what he wants through. I just hope I dont get in the way!!! But depending, drawing close and praying for More of him and less of me. But excited to see what God is going to do! As I've been saying the whole time, "There's something about Groblershoop that gives me HOPE!" Also this will be an Afrikaans mission,so I who understand 120% need to start speaking now so that it can all come back to me and I dont have to take 5 min to think of the Afrikaans word for something :) Also been blessed that the initial cost of the mission is now R0, we just need to take with extra money for transport/needs that arise,etc.
Anyway so thats the update. Any questions let me know ;) God bless you guys!
