Though God did not design me as a third world girl, He put me in this place for a reason and for such a time as this. I have recognized things in myself that I never would have seen if I hadn't come to Busia. To say that I appreciate life a little more would be an understatement. To say I have grown tremendously would not come close to the amount I have seen myself becoming. I have clearly felt and heard God in so many ways. I could not express the greatness and overwhelming power of God working in and through my life. I thank God for putting me in the difficult situations, even if it is only to be attacked by the smiling faces of children who just want to hold your hand.
"And now, compelled by the Holy Spirit, I am going to (Kenya), not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task that the Lord Jesus has given me – the task of testifying the gospel of God's grace." Acts 20:22-24
