This little heart has been so overwhelmed these past days.. in such a good way! This morning as I sat on my front porch, a cool fall breeze in the air, a cup of hot coffee in my hand and the word open on my lap, I couldn't do anything but reminisce, weep and smile! (Such a funny combination) :)

My heart is so thankful!
I returned from Africa in the spring of last year with every intention in my mind of returning that fall- but God had other plans, and this morning I realized how thankful I am that He knows SO much better then me.
I have learned so much since my last trip to Africa, and have had the honor and priviledge of pouring into so many amazing young men and womens lives, and having mine impacted and poured into by so many others. I feel like God taught me what it truly means to LIVE in the Kingdom of God. Not just talk about it.
I cannot say thank you enough to each person who has prayed for me, given sacrificially towards this trip, encouraged me when I couldn't see what God was up to and challenged me to never stop pursuing my dreams! For thats what this truly is, the deepest desires and dreams of my heart. Living this life is no sacrifice.. yes I will miss my family, friend and church, VERY much!.. but following the Fathers heart is my greatest JOY! :)
And so tomorrow, I will board a plane, bound yet again for the amazing continent of Africa! I'm so longing to love on the kids, serve with my new classmates from all around the world, be stretched, taught and learn by doing!
Pray for good internet connections so I can continue to blog and keep you all updated!
Pray for breakthrough, salvation, signs wonders and miracles!
I can see the Harvest on the horizon... It's BEAUTIFUL!!
