I hope everyone had an amazing Easter Weekend and remembered the amazing sacrifice of Jesus Christ so we can be free and have a chance to live in glory with Him forever and Ever. How mind blowing is that eh! To think He would die for us sinners, and then continue to love and forgive us on a daily bases, never mind the fact that we are constantly sinning and messing up! Now thats a love so strong that can truly conquer all. A love that proves to us that God wants to be our friend, our father, are everything. This past Easter weekend I was at a Christian camp with about 100 or so other teens and all i can say is that I have this new outlook on everything. If you've been to a camp before you probably remember leaving on a "spiritual high" but this time it's different. My life is not normal right now as i'm here doing mission work on a daily basis while everyone else is struggling with school, friends, pressures from parents, and everyday life. Me on the other hand am busy doing Gods work...but to be completely honest sometimes you loose focus on the actual task at hand and get carried away with the fun of the activities...or your just too tired to even think of the work that God is doing right in front of your own eyes. One of the speakers talked about our life being like a compass and how if were trying to get somewhere you don't just check it once, you must check it ALL THE TIME! Our life with the Lord is like a compass. We can't just check it every now and then and hope for the best, hope we get to our destination. We must read the scriptures, dig deep into the word, and ask for guidance everyday. God says that if your a "lukewarm" christian He spits you out of His mouth. What a scary thought eh! This gave me a huge wake up call, reminding me to start my day off with the Lord because He's the one that gave me the day to live. We don't know how long we have here on this earth, so why be embarrassed and live life in the shadow of sin when we can live it completely for the glory of God. The weekend before i was on a road trip with my team and another volunteer team here in South africa...and guess what! The girls were all from Canada! So nice to have fellow friends here in Africa :) We did a safari, got to walk with lions, saw baby cubs, went to an elephant park and monkey jungle as well as stayed in some beautiful hostels. All in all the past few weeks have been amazing. School's are on holiday till next week so my programs have been put on hold until the kids come back. I'm still at the orphanage and will be attending Hillsong church to do some behind the scene work there as well. It's unbelievable how much i miss my kiddies! They truly give me a brand new joy for the Lord seeing how happy they are even when they have next to nothing. God is using them to change my actions, behaviours, outlook, and my whole life. I pray everyone has a blessed week! I'm going to try to update you guys more often on what's happening here in Africa and upload some pictures as well!
Lots of love, han XOXO |
