Roots and wings


Nepal is now really feeling like home for me. What an incredible privilege to live, work and minister in such a place as this. Every day I am overwhelmed by the goodness of God in my life and the thickness of His Spirit here. Opportunities to pray for people, encourage people and get to know them are opening up like doors in front of me as I do life each day. I've never known such a season and such a freedom!

I teach the most awesome kids at school. We did an assembly this week on "You are Special" by Max Lucado - you know, the story of the Wemmicks with the stars and dots. I got to share with the whole school about the importance of the words that we speak over each other and how they are creative forces for life and death. They did a really great job!

It is also really humbling that I get to teach them and speak into their lives every day. My heart is that they will learn to hear the Father's voice speaking over them and call it out of others. That their lives will be an outpouring of His love. Please pray for these 23 beautiful lives that God has entrusted me with in this season.

In addition to this, I am really loving getting to know the other staff at the school and the parents in the community. This is such a family place and people are so generous and kind. I was embraced by the community straight away and have never felt like an outsider, which is remarkable!

And on top of all of this, I get to hang out with visiting teams all the time, worshipping with them and joining in with what God has put on their hearts. It is SO fun to meet inspiring people from all over the world and get the privilege of praying for them and asking God what He is doing in them. I have always been a short-term person in terms of travelling and the different communities around the world that God has placed me in, so it is super cool to be a long-term person here - it's a very different perspective.

So I am thankful! So thankful every day for this glorious place, these wonderful people and humbled that I get to play a part in the bigger picture of how God is moving in this nation.

Please continue to pray for me! I really value each of you, knowing that you're with me on this crazy life journey!

- Physical health - it continues to be very good! Please keep praying for protection over my body.

- My Grade 4 kids at school.

- The last 3 weeks of term that we are coming into now.

- Continued good relationship and conversations, opportunities to pray with and for my colleagues.

- Beauty and the Beast - our school production that is happening this coming week. I'm Stage Manager which is so fun.

- Plans for the October break that is coming up, I want to be so open to His leading.

- That I would go deeper into the heart of God, sit with Jesus for longer and be so sensitive to Holy Spirit.

So this is it - roots and wings. My prayer for myself and for you is that we would dig our roots deeper into the heart and character of God. Also deeper into the places and people that He has given us. And that we would fly higher with Him even as our roots go deeper. Thank you for loving me and journeying with me.
