Elijah has arrived!!!!!!!!

A lot has happened over the past few weeks. God continues to move and open doors here in East London which is so exciting to be a part of. However Elijah is an indescribable, unbelievable, beautiful and extremely loud phenomenon that the Lord has thrown through our home door.

I was blessed with the opportunity to share with the Stirling Presbyterian congregation this week. Rev. Chris asked me if I would give the message at all three services. This was such an amazing time to share what God has done and is doing for us all. I must say though it wasn’t easy as Elijah was only 3 days old and sleep was scarce, but we are so thankful for the invitation, God is good.

Discerning our Lord’s will for the discipleship school and His plans and purposes for us here in East London has been and continues to be such an amazing process. Things are beginning to become a little clearer day by day, very exciting times indeed! Sometimes though we just can’t see the bigger picture until its framed, for example, He provided us with a perfect little car when we returned from India. We spent our last bit of money on it and purchased it for literally a quarter of the retail price. What incredible provision thank you Father. Last week Friday though, on my way home from the traffic department (sorting the necessary paperwork) a fellow in a delivery bakkie cut in front of me and wrote the vehicle off. Glory to God no one got a scratch. So now we are stuck for the moment, waiting for the other party to admit liability. For lack of a better description it sucks! haha! But we trust and stand firm on His word. He makes all things work to the good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

As for the little man he has a big voice haha! Must say though he is a champion, even if it is a slightly bias remark. God is so gracious and his blessings are evident. Elijah is as healthy as can be, by far the cutest thing I have ever seen and he sleeps and eats like the prince he is, which is pretty much all that is expected of him right now so we are stoked!

Sanch is recovering well after 18 hour of labour then finally an emergency C-section. She is a soldier of note and was so born to be a mom. It is so beautiful to watch her nurture him. We pray the Lord would accerlerate her recovery supernaturally.

Thank you all for your prayers, our Heavenly Father’s love surrounds us and we pray that in the same way His peace and love is so very real to you all every moment of everyday.
