BAY
By Michael Black
Uvangobay: a vast, breath-taking place. One of the most incredible beaches I
have ever been to. Things like the beach just really open up your eyes
to how amazing our Heavenly Father really is.
To imagine he created it
just for our amusement and pleasure is just great. Today as I was
walking down the white sandy beach, it really just hit me that the world
is so much bigger then I am.
With the ocean stretching as far as the
eye can see, and just to imagine that it is just a tiny fingernail on
God’s hand is something that is hard to fathom, but as each and
every wave began to crash onto shore it hit me. God planned those waves,
and he has a plan for me in this great place.
For he has a plan for
everything, and nothing he does is a mistake. Something that I have
just recently come across has really helped fulfill my calling I have
in AFRICA. Though I have quite a long way to go, it is starting to move
faster then I could ever think. To imagine that just a few months ago I
was at a big middle school and now I am at a small 12-person class in
Africa is something I never thought would happen.
Going from the
occasional deer on the side of the Colorado highway to every other day
seeing a giraffe or zebra is just crazy – something some may only get to
live in their dreams. I am now at age 13 in the reality of Africa and
pursuing the great plan I have to complete here.
Michael, you amazing man of God, I miss you and am glad to hear God is working on your heart. Ride a wave for me my brotha. I love you.
Michael:
One time when you were about 5 years old Iwas coming over to your house and I looked and coming down the hill from your house at high speed was you with a sled on top of a skate board, I didn’t think you were going to make it. I was worried about your ability to live a long life. You were a wild, crazy, tough kid. But look at you now, anointed, favored, good looking, smart, and unstoppable. We are so proud of you and the spirituality that is taking over your life. We could not be more proud. Grandpa and Grandma Black.
Love it, you are getting the fear of the Lord. Complete amazement and Awe of who He is and what He did just for us. Love you little bro. Miss you bro.
Michael,
You are awesome! I love that you are reaching the Father’s heart already. You are already flipping the world upside in crazy ways. Wish I was there to push you around a bit!:)
Thinking of you guys and the great time we had with you in Swaziland. May the Lord of all creation continue to open your eyes and heart to HIS!
