As I look back over the past year I’m amazed by what the
Lord has done and is continuing to do. Last year He took me on a journey, a
journey that’s not over. To surrender my will and to find God, finding that
everything I am is found in Him. The Lord placed the opportunity to go to
Africa last year to teach English in front of me. Although that was not my
plans I decided to step out in faith and follow Him into Africa’s bush. The
first time I meet the children I fell in love with each of them. From the first
one I mat Jess Soko as I stepped out of the van the first time at the training
center as she rapped hers arms around me and, to the little dirt covered
village children who with mango all over their hands and faces. I wish I could
say that everything there I fell in love with but no that was a work the Lord
did over the time of me being there.
While there the Lord changed my heart. The Lord didn't need
me there but He brought me there, He chose to use me as His vessel. When I
would hear from the states from one person I would be told just love my
children. Over time that would come to mean more to me and be ingrained into
everything I did. To just love them-letting the love of Jesus flow though me.
