Everlasting

God is. He's definitely showing me this path I'm on in many forms for growth. I may have had a much better day and seeing light in my team as well as myself, it's good; but my hair is falling out. Oh man I seriously have not been so worried. I went to the hair dresser weeks ago and she made me go immediately to get these dang Bob Martin dog pills because she said they're good for hair and skin etc. I DON"T want to take those again I think it's disgusting! BUT what can I do? Yikes.
Ok enough of that tangent, I just want to say that thank you those who are praying like mad warriers around the world. Dad you're just such an inspiration. I don't know if me being here is helping you out there learn and grow and develop your character in ways you never thought text could do, but if it is, oh God bless! He's remarkable in the ways he works and I can't understand. In fact I just got back from base worship, and the speaker tonight was the older lady that started the SBS school with her husband who are here to speak. She spoke about something I have trouble with. Hearing the voice of God. In fact what surprised me, was she didn't speak about 'how' or anything like that, but she spoke about how we SAY we hear the voice of God. There are many scriptures in the Bible where prophets (these people who apparently hear from God) and many other noble individuals say they hear from God, but what is best put in the sentences when they 'hear' from God, is they say, "I think" or "it seems best.." and there's always this room for conversation or open to others. Maybe not necessarily you're wrong or you question God but it's the fact that interpretation and being so certain is hard. If you come to someone and say "God told me to do this." Then who could ever question if you're possibly not to do it. That would mean questioning God if so. So even if prophets admitted they were wrong at times or that they feel it's from God, that also leaves availability to discuss and continue to seek certainty.
back to what's been happening. Oh, I went to blue route mall with Daneeka yesterday to get my doc's money back they owe me, however, Mom it's in your name so only you can cash it so I'll be sending you something. Or I'll send it home with Bre. Daneeka's stomach has been not quite right. (which later she said she's been alergic to chocolate since she can remember so perhaps this has SO much to do with it. Or Cambodia food). Well, she got medicine from the doc so she's feeling better. Funny girl she is. Daneeka's from Canada and she's only 20. Super dry sense of humor though and just random. She's my PA and doing a stellar job already creating me a twitter account, went to the bank for me today, and she even purchased the 'right' laptop we tried to get yesterday but her card declined. She went back today and also found much cheaper one her parents advised her to get. So it all worked out. However, it poured down on us yesterday at the train station. Weather's been so strange here. Cape Town.
I caught up a bit with the team yesterday, and it was just motivating to see like Colins, who's from Kenya and only 19, looking up things online that I asked him to do. Contacts for us to help create a database when we need/want to send info out. It was just wonderful!
I met with Geraldine and Godfrey to go over the budget of out 20 things we want to achieve. Man oh man I first of all HATE numbers, and second my patience with their laid back style and detail was HARD. Cristian went and finished with it today with Godfrey. Bless his heart. He's turning 26 by the way this Saturday! Anyways, I felt super frustrated trying to just guess numbers for the proposal when Godfrey and Ger were trying to figure out precisely things like the video and how many times we're going to air it. I was just out of it! I was so frustrated because we dont' even have anything here and on ground that I was sick of hearing about these dreams. BUT, I tried to hold my tongue and like we do, we prayed to keep enemy away and work on this project with us. OH I wanted to mention also, that Daneeka said yesterday that her stomach's been hurt since she decided from the Lord to join my team. SO, this spiritual warfare is real. I relayed tha tmessage to my team today to talk about the battle that's happening and it's real and I apologized for not being passionate lately and explained why.
After our morning meeting and going over details and the acronym, it was great to hear some of their thoughts and also to see their reactions to a lot of the information we've collected was great to hear. It reminds me as why i'm doing this in the first place.
So, yeah we're all working towards the basics. Still need a good 'brand' idea. Like the live strong bands, but something we can have here and it's 'our' brand, cheap. I rang up a lady from base who has this muslim ministry where they african ladies make jewlry and asked about pricing etc. She said I must at least come in and see what they have. She said I don't know about thousands (which right now we dont' need) but she said some of the ladies might actually like something 'simple' to work on extra at home for extra money. I say all of this in belief God will supply.
Anyways, gotta get home and look at what's going on tomorrow. Have meeting in the evening at Cristian's to strum up ideas for tshirts, video (if any of them show up from that area) and advert concepts. Colins and Kenny are going to home affairs in the am, which I should go soon, but need my letter from registrar then I'm set. I also don't have my visa up until mid april so I have time. I love Muizenberg day is tomorrow and YWAM is cleaning up together, so that's going to take up most the day. Should be great. So many new faces and so many of my team fading away day by day going back home. It should be great to hang out together.
Still wish I had a project coordinator because I lack the mind of someone organized with steps. It overwhelms me. Perhaps that could be a prayer request. Also funding for not just me, not JUST my teamates and their own situations, but also for this project.
Bless you all, buenos noches
