Go...Going...Gone...

As many of you know, I am in the middle-ending stages of heading off to a land where there are no rivers of milk and honey. Where corruption rules the land; women are oppressed; and children are made to beg for money for the sake of their parents acceptance and food being put into their small bellies. This hasn't been an easy road to travel on and the process at times has been very challenging, but the end results will be well worth the hard work and waiting period. There have been many road bumps along the way, many obstacles to overcome, but in spite of all of those things the Lord has always sustained me. He has always given provision where provision was needed, not where I thought I needed it , but where He knew I needed it.

Starting this Spring I will be heading off to the Middle East where I will be living full time. I am excited to see what is in store for me and for the callings I have on my life. How will I be used? How will I be changed? How will I make an impact? ME? Who am I that I would be chosen for such a task as this? In many ways this is scarey and questionable yet the Word says "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." Psalm 37:25 I am confident that the Lord will provide all of my needs and that He will sustain me even when I feel that I am unsustainable.

I want to thank all of you for your prayers and support for me over the past 9 yrs of my life when I first began this process by going to Kenya, Africa at age 17. Some of you have been with me from the beginning and others from just a few months ago, but rather you've been around for 9 yrs, 9 months, or 9 days you have all made a difference in my life in some way. Thank you again and may God bless you all.
