We finally seem to have it figured out! I am going to Sonrise Baby Home in Jinja Uganda, April 9-23 2011. I was very blessed to find a girl who is sponsoring a child there, and she is going to meet the child, and is willing to let me go with her.
I will fly to NY to meet her, and we will fly together to Uganda. All together, this trip is going to cost over $3000. Wow. It's such a HUGE number! But I know God will provide!
I am taking on babysitting jobs, cleaning jobs, and looking for a steady job. If you are in need of a babysitter, someone to clean for you, or if you know of someone who is, please let me know! I also "pet sit" if you are going out of town, and need someone to watch your pet(s).
I'm so excited to be going, and to finally have a plan. It's really a God given blessing not to have to fly alone. I'm very thankful for that.
I need to get my passport and visa as soon as possible, and currently I don't have enough money too. Any donation you are willing to give would be greatly appreciated, just click the Donate button on my blog.
My sister is donating half of all sales from her website, if you want to go check it out. www.shophandmade.com/store/lambsandlilies She also has a lot of books for sale, and will donate half of that money to me. $2 a book. Please let me, or her, know if you're interested!
Thank you for your continued prayers, I pray God blesses you greatly. I am so excited to see what the LORD has in store for me during this trip, and am excited to tell you all about it!
My older sister got bored during the yard sale we had this past weekend, and decided to interview me. Here it is.
Favorite:
Color: Blue. Because it's outdoorsy, and pretty.
Season: Fall, because it feels great, and it's normally windy, and I love wind.
Animal: Elephants, tigers, and wolves. Elephants are so strong, and sweet, and smart. Band: Phil Wickam. My favorite song by him is True Love.
Books of Bible: Genesis, Psalms, and Matthew.
Describe Yourself: I'm quiet until I get to know you me and even then I still might not talk if I have nothing to say or I'm thinking. I'd rather listen than talk. I like to cook, clean and keep house. ( She wouldn't say anything else, so mom added that she's a hard worker.)
Pasttimes: Being outside, creeking, hiking, jumping off of really tall trees into creeks, playing piano.
Where would you like to be in Ten Years: Be married, have children, go work in the vineyards in Israel.
What are you most looking forward to about going to Africa: taking care of the younger children. Like the 2-3 year olds. I would like to help build a house, or an orphanage as well.
