This week God sent me two gifts to help me lead my first project of the summer here on the Navajo Reservation in Houck, Arizona.   The names of the two gifts are L and S.  L and S are two lovely Navajo teens that God has put into my life so that we can bless and encourage each other.  And they have certainly encouraged me as well as blessed me since the project began a week ago.  They are my right-hand girls, always there when I need them and willing to help with anything I ask. 

 

Every morning we take a Prayer Walk before the day begins and today as we were walking down the rez road that the church is on, L asked me to go down a side road that leads to what the Navajo call, The Pillar of Evil.  The Pillar of Evil is an isolated place on the reservation that Navajo go to to drink alcohol and do drugs.  There is broken glass as well as trash everywhere.  We had been there earlier this week with our group who had built an altar there as a place for them to pray over the Navajo that we would be ministering to during the project.  

 

I told L I didn't think we should go down the road because we wouldn't be within sight of the church.  As we approached the road  to the Pillar of Evil I found myself turning down it.  L and S willingly followed.  As we approached the altar, God told me to stop at it and pray a blessing over L and S.  We stopped at the altar and I told the girls that God told me to pray a blessing over them.   As they nodded their heads, I laid my hand on L's head first and the Holy Spirit began to pray through me. 

 

After I finished praying L told me she didn't hear anything I had prayed because she was having a vision from God.  She said that as I prayed she saw herself driving extremely fast down a dirt rez road.  Then she turned down a wash (a wash is a place that water rushes through the desert when it rains) and continued to drive.  As she drove down the wash, water came rushing behind her and continued following her as she drove.   She didn't know what the vision meant so she asked God.  God told her that the vision meant she would take water to a dry land, that she would take the living water of Jesus to her people. 

 

Last year L helped me on this same project and it was during that time that God began to break her heart for her people, the Navajo.  God is continuing to break L's heart for her people on the project this week here in Houck, Arizona and now, through this vision, L knows that God is calling her to take the Living Water of Jesus to her people, the Navajo.   I am so humbled that God is using me to be a part of His call on her life to minister to her own people. 

 

As God is using me to touch L's life with Jesus, I know that God will use L to touch many, many Navajo lives with Jesus.  It is so exciting to see God move in the lives of the participants of these projects.  I believe I have the best job in the world!  To God Be The Glory!
