Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, an ever- present help in trouble." Hello everyone! Sorry its been so long since I last updated but these past weeks have been harder with homesickness and other events that have been happening. I got to meet some Canadian friends here in Cape Town from my church which was SUPER AMAZING! They brought at least enough hugs to last me until I see my family! Last friday at Kidz Club I got to lead 400 children in the opening songs! I guess all the sunday school band dancing came in handy! It had been awhile since I taught kids actions for various songs, but God is good and all the actions just came flowing back and turned out to be a great afternoon! As many of you already know theres been huge fires here in Cape Town. The mountain right outside my window has been in flames for 3 days now. Yesterday I had the opportunity to head up where only special rescue teams are allowed and see first hand how HUGE these flames are! At least 5 stories high and uncontrollable. I was able to offer food and water to the firefighters who have been working day and night trying to contain the flames. Some of the guys I was talking to have worked 40 plus hours straight, no sleep! Don't worry i'm all safe here in my home but theres been talk of evacuating our neighbourhood due to the amount of smoke and ashes. its actually physically hard to breath as everything, I mean everything is covered in small pieces of ash. I hear it's snowing hard in Canada right now, and for us its raining ash. Please keep this devastating event in your prayers as people are still being evacuated from their homes. The tragedy all around is unbearable. I'm going out this morning with a few people to see what we can do to help. Whether thats helping people pack their homes, feeding others, helping the wildlife that is in great danger, or simply cleaning up the streets. Life is full of surprises eh! Waking up this morning and seeing all the flames and everything devastating about this disaster hit something deep inside of me. The song from Jesus Culture "Set a fire" popped in my head. Some of the lyrics are..."Set a fire down in my soul, that i can't contain that i can't control. I want more of you God, I want more of you God." The fire on the mountains is out of our control... uncontainable... mighty.. dominant... strong... and leading. Does that remind you of someone? possibly Jesus Christ?? AH YEAH! Our God's love is as immense as firry flames. We should want to have that kind of passion inside of us, overflowing with a burning intensity for Him. That is my prayer for all of us today, that we can grow in our faith and "start a fire down in our souls" so others can see something different about us and we can let it grow! God bless you all! Much love, Hannah
