If drama was an emotion

Drama was my middle name growing up. It was so rooted in my brain that in order to get attention or to feel noticed I would start a little show. Even as a young adult I will catch my self-starting a show, or saying things just to see if people are really noticing me. Even now, I like to put on a show for God.

Life in Kenya..

My babies

At this tribe God blessed my life more than I could have every imagined… He allowed to me love on some babies and teach at a preschool. But you see this preschool was not a preschool that you would want to drop your child off at for the day…. You see these kids walked miles and miles just to get to school and on empty tummies…. They would show up and get to write on concrete walls and they had to share the same 3 pencils that were shorter than a crayon… They had no colors, no posters, no paper, just the volunteer teacher… My babies, all 40 of...
