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...

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...

“I will not leave you…”

Street Kids– filthy, commonly inappropriate, uncontrolled, shoeless, abandoned, homeless and hungry boys who lives on the streets in Busia, Kenya. They have no place to call home and nothing more than the clothes on their back. Believe it or not, our ministry with these kids is spent playing soccer in large local fields. We divide up into teams (commonly Americans vs. Kenyans) and just go for it. And man, do we have some fun! For about two hours, these boys can be just what they are supposed to be… little boys!...

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...

My life in Kenya

This week we have gotten to make the most out of having a large team. We had an ATL (Ask the Lord) week where we each prayed to God everyday about what he wanted for us that day. Then according to what each of us saw we divided into teams and went out! The first day I went with two other girls and we talked to a group of Muslims about the Bible and the Quran. We talked about our differences for over an hour! It went pretty well and we’re hoping to develop more of a relationship with them in the future to show them the love of Jesus. I realized I’ve never actually talked to...
