So much has happened sense I last posted a blog. I’m leaving for Africa in about a month; plane tickets have been purchased for Tuesday May 25. I’m so excited; God has been blessing my socks off! All I have is about $1,700 left to fundraise. I know God will provide the rest of my needs. I just can’t stop thinking about how good God has been treating me. He is going beyond providing my needs and now He is starting to give me unspoken desires. I’m so honored and yet so humbled all that He is doing.
This entire fundraising journey has been so unpredictable! When I began to fundraise I started in discouragement, for I had no clue how to raise the funds. But God came through every single time. He taught me how to trust and to not worry. I’m a worrier and trusting doesn’t come naturally for me but God was so patient with me. I remember the first time I chose to trust instead of worry, it was so crazy! I remember laying my head on my pillow and saying “God I hand this situation over to you. Let your will prevail over my own.”That’s exactly what He did! And His plan was so much better than mine. Trusting God isn’t always easy or natural but it is WELL WORTH IT!

I feel like I’m living the scripture where it says "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him."
I’m starting to dream again, I’m starting to dream bigger dreams. Not selfish dreams, but dreams that I believe come from the father’s heart. I’m dreaming of one day starting an orphanage. An orphanage in the middle of a place that has been forgotten, a place that God has seen for so long. He has heard cries of people and He has been waiting for a man He could u send to show them His love. I’m dreaming and listening to where this place is. I pray that God will reveal this place to me when He sees I’m ready.
Until that day comes I will do whatever He wants me to do. And for now I know that I am to go to Africa for the next 10 months.
