With open arms you greeted Me. Without any hesitance you showed me your beauty. It was better than I have ever imagined. With Pride you showed your wide open planes, misty mountains and roaring thunder in the far distance. You touched my heart and changed Me. You revealed all of your Jewels. The roughest, unsmoothed jewels in the ghetto’s and unreached places. They are being smoothed out by Him to become the biggest and most precious stones, hidden from the world yet continuing to do the same that was done to them.

As the drops fell from the sky in Maasai land...
When God put in my heart the desire to come to South Africa, I was always sure that this trip would have a purpose. When I arrived to Jeffrey's Bay several people who heard God's voice shared with me, and that was like a confirmation to what I thought about my life and my relationship with my Heavenly Father for many years.
