Our geyser\s pressure valve has been broken for a long time, which causes us to lose a lot of water. We eventually started collecting the leaked water in buckets to avoid wasting it, and my mom keeps these buckets in the bath so we can use the water to flush the toilet. A plumber once told us it would cost R1500 to replace the valve, but we didn't have money for that so we couldn't repair it at that time. So every time she noticed water dripping, my mom would ask the Lord for a way to miraculously help us afford the repair.

One day, she noticed a loud and rapid downpour into the buckets in the bath. A pipe had burst in the roof! The insurance sent someone out to repair it and we thought it would be good to replace the broken valve too. My mother told the plumber she only had R700 to fix it, and after confirming that it usually costs R1500 to fix, he said he would fix it for R700 anyway. He even had to drive to buy a pressure valve and still charged only R700.

The Lord takes care of His children.

I asked God (with all respect), “Now that You have seen me through the birth of our baby and the provision we needed, how do we move forward with my husband not working?” I received no answer. I waited. I prayed. I cried. I then surrendered to Him, realising that it's not my fight anymore.

A week after that, my husband started working!

My journey was one of time, patience and obedience. When you go down on your knees, He will lift you up. Keep your faith in Him- always. His time and ways are not ours.

God brought life to dead bones. That is what He did for me. He brought life where medically there was no life. He brought peace where the storm was raging. He gave us more than enough where there were only 5 loaves and 2 fishes. I've fought this battle on my knees and God gave us the victory. God is GOOD and in CONTROL, despite the challenges and circumstances we face. Let the end of your human effort be the start of our Heavenly Father’s story, saying “BUT God…”

One morning during devotions (at the school where I work), I spoke to the children about the flesh and spirit, as well as life and death. As I was sharing, I trusted God for the children's eyes to be opened so they would understand the message. After I shared, one child was able to share what they understood, and the rest had so many questions. It was amazing how the Holy Spirit led us in answering them! We then made an open invitation for the children to give their life to God and 3 of them gave their lives to Christ! God's presence was so tangible in the room, and I am so grateful for what He is doing in the lives of the children!
