What do you do when the pressure is rising?

Wednesday, 25 March 2009

I think everybody in the ministry should have challenges and also the proverbial thorn in the side once in a while. It is when the presssure is on us and the option to just let everything go seems so enticing that we often find ourselves contrite and humble before the Lord – giving our all and everything to Him once again.

Israel needs our prayers. Please pray for Israel to maintain focus and for the Lord to keep him close.

If the Lord puts it in your heart why not consider going to Vladimir for an outreach in his village?

Hallo there;

Praise the Lord I have recovered. It is trough your prayers that I am now here e-mailing you. I had to stay some days in bed, and could not eat, talk, or anything. Even now am still not ok. Lost weight, and very weak. It is believed that it was malaria, as that is our common sickness here. Also some shortage in my system, not eating well. I also have some etching little wounds that come and go every now and then. This time they are just on, and never stop or go away.

I need to tell you that it is not well with me. In our family things are not going well, and I am at a stage where all I want is just to be far away from my home, and only go there to visit. It is getting too much for me, because family matters, and cultural issues have become so important to us that many times they hinder us to succeed an excel in life.

The only thing that comes to my mind now as I pray, and seek God about it is that I need to get a place of my own, where I can build my house and live there. At my home, many things are happening, and I feel I am pushed to take and assume responsibilities that are not mine. It is too difficult for me, and I think enough is enough. What will help is for me to get my own place, and help my family when I can, because now culturally they think it is a must for me to help them, while it is not, it comes from a good willing heart.

I am sorry to load you with this issues, I just think you my like to add this part of my life on your prayer list, and present it to the All Mighty One as I do.

Thank you so much for being there for me, and for being available to pray for me.

Be blessed

PS: Schools will be close on the 3rd of april, as soon as we close I am planning to come, and bring hortenca with.
