Rendezvous

I am here in Columbia. It’s been wonderful catching up with friends and spending time with family. It will be doubly hard to leave again, but I am also excited to get back to Cape Town. I just have a quick story… especially for the avid Joyce Meyer fans (Carli and Julie!). ☺

Last Tuesday morning I was at my friend Carli’s place in St. Louis. I have not been feeling well, as many of you know, and I was lying there on her floor on my stomach with my head resting on my arms… and I was just wondering (kinda whining)… “Why is this so hard?” What is so hard? I don’t even know… my family situation… my heart being in two places at the same time… life….

Carli was sitting on the couch and she turned on the tv… and Joyce Meyer was on. I turned over to watch it and Carli was thinking about changing the channel but asked if I wanted to watch it… I said I’d like to watch it as I was hoping for something encouraging.

We watched for about 10 minutes, and as Joyce was wrapping up the program, here it came… “If you want it to be easier, quit asking God to use you.”

Wow… I’m pretty speechless and I think it speaks for itself. What is my response? “Here I am. USE ME!!”

I love you all so much… and my prayer is that He uses you, too!!!
