My plans have changed. I am not going to sonrise baby home anymore. Instead I'm going to Amani Baby Cottage. If you want to check it out, you can do so Here.
I'm really excited and thrilled to get to play with, love on, help out with babies and toddlers. I'm so glad that I'm getting to go to a baby home.
I'm leaving sooner than I thought. I'm leaving March first, to go to Dallas to meet up with the girl I'm going with. I was blessed to get to join Morgan on her trip, and I'm so excited!
We will be staying at the baby cottage for 8 weeks, then going to stay a week in the remote village of Bugabo.
I'll be returning May 3rd. I'm so happy that this trip will be much longer than the other one we were planning.
I still need to raise about $900-$1000 dollars, which is MUCH better than before. If I had gone to Sonrise baby home, I would still need about $2000. So this trip is more and more a blessing. And it hasn't even started yet!
You can still join the fundraiser that my sister is doing for me, you should check it out! You can do so here.
To everyone who has helped me out in this mission: THANK YOU!!!!!
Here's a picture of me and my nephew. :)
This is just something that's been on my mind for a while. Being thankful. The Lord has blessed me beyond words, and I see it all the more, as I grow closer to Him.
I'm thankful for the wonderful family he's given me. A roof over me, and good floors under me. A warm, comfortable bed. Good healthy food to eat. He's blessed me with friends who love me, and encourage me in my walk with the Lord.
I'm not saying this to be boastful. It's just something that I think I should declare, not just think to myself.
He is SO worthy of all the praise. He really is Jehovah-Jireh. My Provider.
I am MOST thankful that Jesus has saved me! I couldn't imagine life any other way.
Even though I'm going somewhere that doesn't have all the comforts that I have, from what I've come to know, they have JESUS, and that alone makes me thankful and joyful. :)
Update! My passport came in the mail yesterday!! WOO!! And I got my yellow fever shot yesterday (not so much of a woo). Things are moving along! I was VERY blessed with a donation of $200 this past week! SUCH a blessing. I am still about $2000 away from having all the money I need. If you would like to help me out, there's a cute little donation button at the top of the page :D
Peace be unto you all!
