Silence

There are some days that I wish I was here and some days I wish I was there. But the most important of them all is that I know that I am in Gods presences. That I know that I am right where he wants me. I stand in the Gap of the unkown and wait for the next step. I trust that I hear him, I trust that I feel him and most importantly i know he is all around. I say all this to tell you that each day that goes by I am in a different place with God. I am different from yesterday and I lean on him as I step and stand.  I stand in the midst of children with no food. I stand in the...

Promise

I never thought that I would return to the same little girl that I left a year and half ago. Her name is Promise, God told me a year ago that she is a promise to keep. And honestly I didnt know what to do or what that meant. And to tell the truth I still dont have a clue what it means. I know that my flesh wants to adopt her, take her home and just show her the love of God and embrace her. Let her live to know something more. She is precious, And not to mention she remembered me. She remembered my name and who I was. She sat with me, danced with me , took pictures with me and even...

Brokenness above all else.

With in the last few weeks I have begin to realize that there are somethings that God told me last time I was here in Kenya, that are reoccuring and showing up again at its fullest. I remember asking God to break my heart for what breaks his and I asked him also to continue revealing who I was in him. Both of these concepts in my life are showing up again and again. I have learned to continue the brokeness that God has placed me in. He told me last time I was here that I must first love myself, then him and then I could love a man. I am fully convinced that as God continues to...

He is jealous for me

So I sat here trying to think of a word to best describe God's love and nothing I came up with even began to scratch the surface. God is moving in my heart so much that I don't even know what to do with myself. He has taken my heart captive this past month in ways I couldn't even begin to imagine before arriving in Africa. I thought I knew the meaning of being in love with Christ before I came here, but now I'm fully aware that I honestly had no idea. He has been revealing to me exactly who I am to Him, and exactly what He sees when He looks at me. He keeps telling me that...

Mama Orphan

6/26/12 Today was our first day of ask the Lord ministry. Yesterday when me and Kim were at the internet cafe we ran into a guy Ken who works at Mama’s Orphanage and spoke to him. So I got his card to contact him since I knew we had the week to go and do what ministry we felt called to. So I thought that was a sign from God that I should go to the orphanage. After morning glory we took time individually to pray and ask God what ministry we should do today, where we should go, who we should talk to. When I was praying I kept getting eyes, eyeballs, blind. I didn’t know what...

Scraped Knees and Patched Up Hearts

     So this week has been interesting. It’s been one of the worst and one of the best on this trip so far. Last Monday was a good day, but Monday night was really hard. I felt so spiritually empty and dry. I guess I had just been putting it off so I wouldn’t think about it, but in our small groups we all voiced that we all felt the same and there was no more denying it to myself. I got really frustrated and upset about it so I grabbed my iPod and went and sat on the steps outside and kinda had it out with Jesus. I told him how exactly how I felt and as always, he...
