As some of you know, I have always longed to go to Africa and be with these children. Seeing their faces litterally melts my heart and i cannot get over the fact that they need the love of Jesus so badly. This has always been a dream but hasnt started becoming a reality until now. I was always a little scared to tell my parents about my passion for africa because its expensive and i thought they would think that it wasnt wise to spend that much money on a mission trip while still in college but one day i was sitting on the couch with my mom and i told her. I told her all about the beautiful children there and how i long to be there and her response was one of complete support which was such a beautiful thing for me! She and my dad even started researching different organizations that i could go with and where i would stay, not just saying yes but actively seeking ways for me to go. And then one day a counselor on the timbers page posted about going to Uganda this summer asking for prayers and then presenting the opportunity for anyone else to sign up and i flipped! I looked at the website he posted and fell in love. I called him on the phone and we talked about all the details and legistics of the trip and i fell more and more in love with this opportunity. He then prayed over me and my decision and i was blessed beyond words through the power of God. and now, i present the request to you. that first, you would pray for me as i decide whether or not God has me here this summer. second, that he would provide the means for me to get there. and third that through it all, he would be glorified and through that humble and teach me beyond what i can imagine.
