The weather predictions for that specific weekend was as follows: Extreme Weather Warning!! Snow, very cold, very heavy rain, floods etc. I even received an email where they warned to be very careful on the roads, as they were expecting flooding that weekend.
I prayed about it and really felt the Lord say I should go! Oh well, my natural mind said I should STAY because the weather was going to be so bad, but Holy Spirit clearly said GO, so I decided to be obedient and GO, knowing that I would probably have an awesome testimony to share when I come back, and that was exactly what happened! What an adventure doing life with Him! He is so faithful! God is a GOOD God!
The Biltong Festival turned out to be a huge success for my stall, even though EXTREME weather conditions, but it did not keep the people away! It WAS freezing cold and it rained every evening, but it was an adventure! God really blessed me and He even made a way for me to stay in the School Hostel (there was a last minute cancellation which I was very greatful for, since I was planning to sleep in a tent, which might not have been such a good idea). It felt a bit scary for me to sleep in this cold school hostel by myself, so I asked Him for confirmation that He is with me and as I walked into the room, this beautiful poster (above) of JESUS's CROSS and the word GOD in the middle was above the bed!!! I felt the Lord say to me: "This is My sign to you that I am with you!" I felt God's presence and peace with me in that room in such a tangeble way and had sweet dreams every night. Also, He really blessed my craft stall, the extreme weather did not keep the people away!! LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!! He really knows best and I thank Him for His guidance .... and also for electric blankets!
Be blessed
