My time in this last village we visited for medical clinics was filled with ‘God-winks’ 😉

In my time here, the truths that I’ve been reminded of are the simple ones that we so easily forget.

These past couple of weeks, I’ve been reminded in such a deep and real way of God’s presence with me. These days my prayers are always something along the lines of “God, please be with me”; and He is. 

He’s been showing me this in small sweet ways. When we arrived in the village, they presented each of us with a beautiful lei (flower necklace) - I love flowers and it was my first plumeria lei. Then a few minutes later, I met a lady who was wearing a t-shirt that said ‘Sri Lanka’ on it. To most people, this might seem insignificant, but for me, it felt like God was reminding me that He was there with me too. What are the chances that a lady in a remote village in Papua New Guinea would have a t-shirt from a small island far away in the Indian Ocean - she didn’t even know where it was! But God knew I would be there that day and I would meet her.

The ‘God-winks’ continued during the time I was there and it was just so special. 

I felt so special. I felt so seen.

Recently, I’ve been hearing Zephaniah 3:17 over and over:

“The Lord your God is living among you, He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With His love, He will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs”.

He’s a singing God. And He’s singing a song of joy and delight.

Now in every moment, I hear Him saying to me, “I’m singing over you beloved, do you hear my song for you?”

I can hear Him singing, and what a beautiful song it is 🎶
