Kenya

I am a second semester senior. That is nerve racking...there are so many options and paths that I can take. I can turn my back on God easily, I could go do what I want to do and what the devil tempts me to do, so so easy. what am I to do? What does God have planned for me? An what path do I want to take?
Well I am certainly NOT going to turn my back on God! That is a absolute no...I have swayed away from him, that is true. But my heart still yearns for him! An its growing closer and closer as the days grow on. Especially with what he has planned for me! Why did he choose me for such a huge continent?!! Kenya, Africa. Oh my let me tell you! I have been on a roller-coaster that past year with the thought of Kenya. When? How? With whom? Its here and its got my eyes wide open!
I am going to Kenya, Africa on July 14th - 29th. Fifteen days with a group of people I have NEVER met in before, no best friends, no phone, no boyfriend or family. Just me, my fellow missionaries, and a orphanage full of kids. They don't know the joyous love of God that I see...no! But just wait, he is gonna come crashing down on there lives like a tsunami on a small island. I cant wait!
This whole trip is a total God given situation....Fifteen days for $4,000?! That's unheard of! I admit I was kind of freaked out about the price at first...but with saving money from my pay check, to garage sales, selling some clothes, bake sales at church and donation's I'll make it! It's all in God's hands and he definitely wants me on this trip! Well that's all for now...COMMENT PLEASE! I will update soon

Ever thine, Ever mine, Ever ours!

Mission Trip '09

So as I lay in bed last night all I could think about were these kids...I miss them terribly! They brought such joy to my life in the short amount of time I was there...and it really made me feel grateful for such a great house, school, family and friends that God blessed me with.

We held a birthday party for him (:
Amber!

Preparing myself for my mission trip

I feel as if the lord is giving me all these mission trips (however short they may be) to prepare my heart for what is in store for Kenya, Africa. An I am completely stoked! I have already been on this mission trip once before, and let me tell you every child I met in the Wheatley Courts Housing Projects broke my heart last summer. There were signs of abuse, rape, death, etc. etc. in these kids faces. They would come running every day and rap there arms around us, they didn't even know us...but they knew we were there for them, to love on them and teach them about a creator who would die for them. Because they are worth it! An the smiles on the kids faces at the end of the week...ohh they make my heart leap!! I am stoked for this mission trip I am about to leave for, God has HUGE plans! (:

ever thine, ever mine, ever ours.

Well I have tried to do one of these before, but it was on a different site (wayyy to complicated stuff for me). So here I am, brand new blog...and lots of stuff on my mind.

This blog will be called ever thine, ever mine, ever ours, because I love beethoven's love letters and I think its a cute name!
