God is in control

Here's a recent posting from Kylee

Today, accompanied by two student nurses and Hawane's nurse, I went back to visit the children's ward in the Mbabane Hospital. Just being able to love on the children there is indescribable. We were able to pray with many people, pass out balloons, pencils, crayons, coloring paper, play with bubbles, and just spend time with kids.

My heart had been captured by a certain little boy who I last saw during the 3rd team's trip to the hospital. After visiting all of the rooms I could not find him. So, with sadness in my heart, I praised God and thought he may just be somewhere better now. Then, I found him in a small room at the end of the hallway! Big, beautiful brown eyes and chubby cheeks looked up at me from his crib in a room with kids who have various disabilities. His name is Jabulu and he is thought to be 18 months old. "He was dumped as a baby in a pit latrine" I was told by one of the nurses. Praise God for the opportunity to love on him, tell him God loves him, hold him, and play with him. He is so precious and I found myself thinking of what a great God we have as our Heavenly Father. His promises are true and He will never leave us or forsake us. Even though it was difficult to leave little Jabulu, I know God is always with him and He has a plan for his life.



Be encouraged that our God is El Elyon, God Most High, the sovereign Ruler of the universe. He is in full control of all things and nothing can happen without His permission. When we do not understand why certain events happen, we can trust in the name of the Lord. His love for us is perfect and His plan will come to pass."The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run into it and is safe." (Proverbs 18:10)
