Africa!

My answer is yes the question is where. God has put the nations on my heart. I continuely ask God to send me! Now I am one of those who are going to Africa this summer. I am so incredibly blessed, thankfull, and speechless! God never fails to amaze me! The following is a segment from my journal from afew months ago.

"To know that there are people hurting in the world, but others living lavishly makes me think things could be different and should be different and I want to do something about it. If givin the oppertunity to go into the nations it would be so much more than a personal experience. It would be more than a life completely turned upside down.
Those hurting children in poverty are God's children. For us to go reach them is to be the heartbeat of God. In each act would be a beat of God's own heart. To know that I could relate to those children in a personal way makes going more than an option but a desire. To personaly relate myself to an orphan would be by expressing my life as an orphan. My mother passed away when I was 12 and my father is a drug addict who was never a father figure. The feeling can be understood but never felt by someone unexperienced. Harsh poverty in my youth also can be related to what the people are living in. To have a bases to relate with will make a connection stroger and the words and actions have more meaning. A passion is embedded in my heart and is stirred everytime I think about reaching those children. I believe I have experienced everything I have in life to be able to relate and reach the African people. I truely hope I will be accepted."
