The home for girls lit up at night |
Like most people, I look forward to Fridays...the end of the work week and the start of the weekend.
However, the work week ends for me tomorrow & instead of Friday marking the end it is the beginning of my great adventure!
I am excited, nervous, apprehensive, anxious, and did I mention excited?
It has been such a wonderful blessing to watch God build this team of ladies. What started as myself and Debbi has now grown to a team of 6 ladies & Pastor Jim. We all have different gifts, talents, fears & insecurities but isn't that what makes a great team?
As I have mentioned before our idea is go and refresh, encourage & lift up the teachers of Compassion International. Funte de Vida school, and the ladies of the Fuente de Vida hogar las ninas. (Home for girls) But I know God has something much bigger planned....bigger than we could even imagine and that is what I am looking forward to the most...sitting back and letting God be God.
Please pray for us as be meet tomorrow to pack the footlockers & duffel bags that will carry the items we will be taking. God has blessed us with 40 Bibles and devotional books, we will also take hygiene products donated by many folks in the area....clothes and items needed to care for the girls at the home. Please pray that exactly what needs to go will fit! Also pray for good health & safety for our entire team. And finally...last and most definitely not least that we will be open to the Holy Spirits leading. That we wouldn't be so wrapped up in our own agendas that we miss what he has planted for us.
Thank you so much! I look forward to sharing with you when I return on the 8th.
