As I look back on my life the past several years, I am brought to my knees in amazement of the Lord's grace. When He gives you a glimpse of why things happened and how He worked them together for this moment and the future, I cannot help but ask myself why I ever worry or doubt. God took me from a low point of darkness and gave me a purpose. He redeemed my selfish ways and transformed it to use for His glory. His faithfulness never ends. God used things like my family, being homeschooled, pursuing dance, low points, needing a purpose, Ballet Magnificat, ABC Christian Academy, close friends, and much, much more to bring me to Africa for the past few years. He continues to use me despite missteps and failings. I couldn't have done this without all of your support, encouragement, and prayers. I wish I could put into words how grateful I am for all that you have made possible. In the link below, my friend Carrie and I attempt the impossible of summing up our lives and sharing a glimpse into a bit of what God has done. I've learned, changed, and grown so much. God has taught me more about myself, my sin, Himself, and His grace than ever before. This video will hopefully shed light on some of that! I get nervous talking in front of cameras which is why I dance instead of speak, but we did our best and with some major editing and help from our friend Michael, we created what I hope you will enjoy. Zikomo Kwambiri! (Thank you very much!)

"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news." - Romans 10:14-15

Thank you for the amazing video and the updates. It is sooooooooo good to see you and hear your updates. We are so proud of you both and pray that your remaining time will be special and filled with joy for the Lord. It is wonderful that you found each other in Malawi. It is not surprising though since we know the Lord places people in places with a specific purpose and He certainly was right on target with you both. What an incredible journey you have made and think of the many lives touched and seeds planted for the Lord to nurture.
ReplyDeleteMany blessings to you both,
Pappy and Tutu
