Updating

Boa Tarde

Its time to update you folks…..

I have been back in the “land of the long white cloud” for just on 8 weeks and in 3 weeks time, I will be in the country I now call home; looking forward to our wedding!

Since being back I have:

• Gone to Auckland for the Manifest Presence Conference
• Survived a minor flood
• Surviving the weather of windy, chilly Wellington
• Catching up with family and friends
• Been treated for intestinal worms and hookworm in my foot
• Cried my self to sleep
• Phoned Mozambique once a week
• Haven’t practiced my Portuguese as much as I want too
• Worried about my weight
• Brought my wedding dress
• Had my yellow fever vaccination
• Missing Mozambique
• Wished I was somewhere warmer
• Dreamed about my hunky man
• Gone numb on several occasions
• Though of my beloved just about every hour

Have also started reading a book “Heavenly Man” by Brother Yun. It is truly a must read! It has totally brought me to tears, and brought me to my knees before my creator asking forgiveness in simply just not trusting him, serving him, loving him enough. This book has totally inspired me and brought me closer – I want this faith and understanding and courage this awesome man of God has! How to do this? Simple, get on my face before my King and get to know him more and more! Learning to surrender is not an easy thing, but it says in the good book to die to ourselves and take up the cross daily – I choose that path again! I want to be remember not only as a women after God’s heart, but as a heavenly women!!!

Love you all
Anna
