How often do we forget this simple truth? If I have learned anything while being here, it is that I was 150% created to worship my King, and that means in everything I do. Everything that I am, every breath that I take is a gift. I love watching the sunsets here in Lusaka because I feel like those are the moments where I get to sit and watch my King paint a beautiful masterpiece and constantly remind me of His greatness, of His majesty. What a wonderful word to use to describe my Savior: MAJESTIC. He is. He is more loving and compassionate and just than I have ever known before, and the depth to which He has shown me His love lately still amazes me. I wish I could put into words all that I have learned, but words will never be able to convey the immensity of the Lord’s presence in my life right now. And when I say this, I do not mean that it is easy. In fact, it has been an incredibly hard week and a half. This job constantly humbles me and puts me in my place (which is at the very bottom of the totem pole might I add), yet I have never felt such contentment in my life. I go to bed every night completely satisfied that I spent my day doing exactly what God has asked me to do. I spend my days working hard and kissing the faces of God’s little angels while working. I continually get to interact with children that are considered to be the “trash” here, but in my eyes they are jewels. I know that God sees them that way too, and though they are infested with germs and covered with dirt, it is like uncovering a diamond in the rough.
I love watching God transform their hearts as they learn about Him throughout the week at camp; I love seeing God give them freedom from the demons that so often haunt the children of this country. You see, here in Zambia, Satan attacks in a very real and obvious way. Spiritual warfare is everywhere because witchcraft is so prevalent. But take it from me; I have seen the power of God at work, and God ALWAYS WINS! And I love when I get the privilege of watching it happen. It has strengthened my faith and I cannot even begin to tell you how much I BELIEVE that Jesus died for not only my sins, but for the sins of these orphans as well! This is a conviction that I know deeply within my heart and soul; it is the one thing in this world that completely know to be true. NOTHING will be able to take this away from me ever, I have seen God’s power at work far too much, and He has allowed me into His heart by letting me spend my days playing with and loving on His crown jewels, the orphaned children of Zambia.
