Good evening everyone! Our speaker this week is named Henny, and she is the wife of our speaker from last week. She has such a kind and tender heart, but is filled with passion that is evident in everything she does! She has a slight dutch accent and is so funny when she doesn’t know how to say a word in english. Her topics have covered a range from her testimony to David, a man after God’s own heart. She is challenging and isn’t afraid to pull out the conviction card. I have learned to make room in my heart so I can be like Mary, and fall at Jesus’s feet and be willing to give up a years worth of wages to make Him feel at home. I have learned about longings and desires of the human heart, how God created them for His glory but we often fill them with other things. Something that really hit me yesterday was the fact that this world has dulled my capacity to be fascinated by God and God alone, and I was challenged to take a look at the things I do to see if they need to be removed so God can take their place.
Monday I spent the day in the cafe, and the evening in a bible study in the farmhouse. On my walk to the farmhouse I smelt the overwhelming stench of pigs, sheep and cows and ironically, I felt right at home! Due to my high school being an “Ag” school, I smell that everyday so I proudly took it in and proceeded to tell everyone how wonderful it was. In our study we talked about Jesus turning the water into wine, and afterwards we enjoyed real dutch pancakes made by our dutch friend. They were so amazing that I had two, one with apple slices and one without. I prefer without :P
Tuesday was a heart racing day! We knew we would find out about outreach, but we didn’t know when. So all during lecture we were anxiously awaiting the news, while trying to listen with everything we have to the lecture. Finally at 1:00 Julie stepped in front of the class and announced the locations! She also mentioned we have less than a day to tell her which location God tells us, and that we weren’t allowed to talk to each other about it (a rule only half followed). But I got my answer, talked about it with my parents and handed in my piece of paper this morning! Now it is out of my hands and I’m trusting God will work the rest out, because I know He will. Tuesday afternoon at my work duty we got news that we were to break down a concrete wall, woohoo! But me being the only girl had to mop the hallway. Without a mop. So I pull a cinderella and scrub with my hands and knees until the floor was sparkling! Afterwards Jonah was having some serious hand cramping and literally couldn’t move his fingers, so Andy covers his hand and we pray that God would heal his hand. As soon as Andy said “amen,” Jonah bent his fingers!! He was totally fine, like nothing had happened! We all freaked out and started shouting and laughing, it was the first time I had experienced healing. What a crazy day!
