Do you ever just sit around and think of God's goodness and
just relax satisfied in Him? That's where my heart is at the moment and it's a
lovely place to be in. All I can do is smile and rest in his love.

I am to the point where I am very satisfied with the place
where I am. Not that I want to stay in this place, but I am so happy with my
current location and my surroundings. I have some really great friends. I think
a big fear of mine in coming over here was that people would pity me and hang
out with me because I was the foreigner that needs friends. It sounds really
dumb when I speak it out. But I have great friends. I have friends that call me up just
because they love me and want to hang out with me! It's the best
feeling.

I am also really excited and happy about my ministry. It is kinda
getting off to a slow start, especially since it's a month in and I still don't
have a car. But I have some really great plans, and I'm definitely getting to
know the Firehouse girls a lot better. It's been awesome. Even as I sit here, I
wonder if I haven't been able to find a car so that I don't fill up my schedule
all too quickly and forget about the main reason I came to South Africa-to
minister to a hurting generation of girls.
