THIS GURL CAN PREACH!!

Hey! Ok so I have this friend, Lizette Dos Santos. She became a christian this year and is totally on fire for God. She is very out going, so when we have events like the Invasion this weekend, she makes the announcements in assembly and basically makes a fool out of herself..(which i respect her for, since I am too chicken to do something like that , lol). Anyways....on TUesdays and Thursdays we have a bible study at break for anyone from Form 1 to IB 2. This week was our week to do them. So I picked a topic- " Being Intolerant- out of LOVE", and since Lizette is sooo good at speaking, she read it. YOu see , Im quite boring, I just was going to read something out of a book, and I was studdering, so I asked her to do it. WOW, when she got started, it was like a firework went off or something. She sat the book down, and started pacing the classroom just like a pastor. lol. I have never seen/heard someone preach like that before , atleast not someone our age. I was crying. Every word she said touched my heart and even though most of us were about to fall out of our seats laughing at some of the things she said and did, im sure it touched everyone else as well. I believe God has such a huge plan for her life and she is willing to let Him take control too. I look up to her for that. I mean, I've been a christian all my life, and here comes Lizette, a new christian , preaching like...... I dont know what. lol. One day when she is on TV or doing youth camps preaching to people, I will be sooo proud to say I know her. OHHH and last night, she had a dream that she was preaching in front of a lot of people, and she was "just tearin it up" lol. That is exactly what she did today. Isn't it amazing how God works? I'm soo excited to see what God has planned and to see the gifts He has given all of my friends at Waterford, and Im also excited and anxious to know mine. It is people like Lizette who will change the world for Christ, and I cant wait to see it happen. It has already begun!!

Rainy Day

Today is cold and rainy in Swaziland. I think the weather goes along well with how most of the people at my school are feeling right now, though. Yesterday, a student, Hassan, died. He was hit by a car after the Form 5 prom after party while he was crossing the road. People keep asking, if there is a God, why does He allow things to happen like this? All I know is that God knows what He is doing and is in control of even the bad things in our lives. Though this is a tragic thing, I believe God will bring good out of it. The really sad part is that he wasn't a christian. My heart literally hurts when I think , what if one of my friends die before they come to Christ? That is my dream, my hearts desire, to be able to see all my friends at Waterford in heaven with me when I get there. I pray that through what has happened, God will open peoples hearts and make the soil fertile. I also pray that the christians at waterford will rise up and plant the seeds before the soil dries up again. PLease join in me in this prayer. Waterford needs a revolution and through Christ, it is about to begin.
