I’d like to give God all the glory for His timing and healing. During one of our morning devotions we were asked to pray for the person next to us. One of the school’s parents’, who is now quite involved with the school, mentioned that she had been struggling with a sharp pain on the right side of her back for about a week now. She had been heating her bean bag to try and ease the muscle pain but it didn’t take very long for the pain to return. Without thinking too much about it I just prayed a simple prayer. I didn’t even stop to think about the healing that would and could have taken place after I prayed for her. After the weekend, she came to me and testified about how she had been healed of that pain and till today it has not returned. God is our Healer! We are simply a tool in His hand.

In the weeks leading up to our first anniversary, I thought it would be nice to book us into a hotel. I had a specific one in mind that my husband would really like. However, when I checked the prices, it was completely out of our normal budget, never mind the fact that it had been a tough month. So we decided to abandon the idea, and settle for a dinner date. Later in the week though, I realised that with us expecting our first baby, this might be our last guaranteed chance to go away, alone, for a couple of years. We started looking at cheaper hotels again. Keenan saw that the very nice one (that I wanted to book initially], had a special discount. They dropped the price by R900! Needless to say, we booked it for the one night. Shortly afterwards, someone phoned and blessed us with a second night’s stay at the same place. When we booked in, the room was humongous...it even had its own lounge! We were so humbled by our God’s character. He really does honour our obedience and our sacrifice. We chose to follow what we believe God is saying for this season (with regards to our careers], instead of following financial gain. God blesses us with more than we could even think of providing for ourselves!

Recently I was asking God for some guidance and the first scripture didn’t make sense. It said: “The people of Bebai, six hundred and twenty-three...” Ezra 2:11. I thought I had missed it but before I could move on, something told me to calculate how long I’ve been at Creare. From the day I arrived to that exact day, it was 623 days. I called my dad to share the revelation I got that God knows where I’m at and He’s got everything under control. Soon after he called me back saying that after I told had him about what God revealed to me, he walked into a meeting and shared the testimony with another guy. The guy was shocked because 623 is the number he adds to all his passwords and references. The Lord opened a door for my dad to be able to minister to him and speak into his life. God’s timing is perfect and He’s got everything under control.
