What a great Sunday morning service. Mama had some visitors here from New Jersey; the worship was off the wall to say the least. It was so strong lot’s of singing and dancing… I Love it… We played games with the kids, colored, had story time learning about Gideon… Oh! And we made bracelets learning about colors and what it symbolizes in the bible.

Meanings:
Yellow-Gold-God has prepared heaven for us
Black- Sins- It separates us from God
Red-Blood-Life and Sacrifice
White-Snow excepting Jesus, our hearts are made clean
Green-Grow in faith by praying to God/sharing the word
Clear-Gods promise

After the fun time we had in church I took the children to have some more fun, quality time with me. We headed for the park in front of their school hung out played on the slides, swings and goofed around just acting silly… it was just fun in the sun. It was time for dinner, so we headed back to the orphanage,
What a day… I was exhausted by this time, so ready to turn in. When I got a chance to decompress my thoughts were all over the board.
I was thinking wow... I never thought I'd be serving and sharing my love and having this incredible opportunity to tour Africa. Africa? Africa? I kept saying over and over to myself. I can't believe I am here! I've always wanted to visit Africa, but always hoped someday in my life, but never knew how, or when and of course never thought missions my, my how Beautiful and Awesome is the "Lord" how he works in our lives in ways and in areas we could never imagine. The Lord is so working through me in ways that I can't even explain... the Love the desire to serve and share my heart, the overwhelming appreciation for how I live in such a world of convenience. These children who crave my love and attention it's draining, but at the same time joyful and when I find myself tired, I can't seem to stop wanting to play and give them more of my time and love. Everyday that goes by I grow closer to the children I could see how it’s so difficult to leave here.

Prayer
Dearest God, You have a purpose for my life. You have plans to prosper me. I put my life, my heart, my spirit, and my soul in your safe hands, this minute, this hour, this day, within you firm grasp. I need not worry about what tomorrow may bring. I know you have my life planned. I just need to keep close to you and to keep walking in your way looking neither to the right nor the left but straight ahead toward you. Thank you father for all you works you have blessed me before and I am confident you will continue to bless me as I serve you. Amen
