Hello all,
It is exciting for me to be posting my first blog. I never thought that I would be doing something like this but I wanted to be able to update and share with you the journey I am taking as I follow God's will for my life.
You see, God placed the call to missions on my heart as a senior in college. I wanted to go to New Zealand and He wanted me to go to Africa. God won out on this one and got me to Kenya despite myself. I am sure glad He did because the connection I ended up having to Kenya and its people is only something that could only be fashioned by God himself.
I did missions work in Kenya for two years and felt specifically called to the children living in the slum areas. My second year I was volunteering in 4 orphanages weekly and loving every second of it. At the end of my time there, I knew God was asking me to be a full-time missionary and that He wanted me to build an orphanage. Needless to say, I was excited but overwhelmed. This task was much bigger than myself.
So, lets fast forward a bit. God released me from one of my job positions the beginning of this year to move ahead in His will for me. He has really been providing for me and helping me because I don't know how to do this but I am thankful He does. Together, we are making headway and orphanage ministry in Kenya is becoming more of a reality every day.
My blog will be used to tell you what God is doing and to give Him the glory! I pray that it will be an encouragement to you. Take care and God Bless!!!
