November Update

My heart is full. There is so much to be said, but I can’t seem to get the pen on paper with a flow to it.

God has been busy. He is working in our minds and ironing out our hearts. It has been a particularly hard season for the whole family, but I can testify that God kept me strong. When the storm was almost over and the battle drew to an end, I started crumbling. This is where God equips one to fight for yourself. To take up your authority in Christ. Take the lies captive. Replace it with truth. Then live it! This is God’s grace, to not send broken-winged doves into the field where you’re an open target to the enemy. At the same time cheering you on to get back on the wagon as quick as possible. This too is a learning curve and maturing.

• Our home

Right now we are blessed to be in a flat while we wait for the work on our caravan to finish. Maybe this time God is waiting on us to move and not the other way around. We are going to fetch our home this weekend, start packing and we’ll be moving on the 17th of November to join the Cronje family.

• Gospel time

We had interesting gospel opportunities running a stall at a local flea market for a few weeks on Saturdays. From a tarot card reader, to Mormons handing out their bibles. We got to share the gospel with various people passing by and hand out lots of tracts and Bibles. But we also met people with a heart for the community and we joined their ministry, serving at Margate beach – Turning tides. We prayed, war, praised and worship the Living God! Tian and Bradley also got a short time at a local church in Hibberdene to share their testimonies.

• Fellowship

It is lovely to have fellowship with the Cronjes, catch up, get in the Word, encourage each other and just fill up our cups again! It’s true: Many hands make work light.

I can just testify of the things God has done. His mighty hand at work in and through us. Things seem small and insignificant, but living the gospel one conversation at a time, one step of obedience at a time, one spirit-led act at a time. Trusting God to produce fruit and stir hearts.

* Also, note to self: Discipleship starts at home with our little bears.
