Getting Ready

August 29th I leave for a 6 week mini-mission trip to Africa.  This will be my fourth trip to assist at a medical clinic with Rafiki.  This time my trip will include Kenya, Ethiopia, Zambia and Malawai. Previously, I served in Kenya and Uganda . I must say all my trips have been new adventures. How could they be anything else when you travel with God.  I never know the shape and form they will take. Each trip leaves me amazed at the awesomeness of what God does.  I am extremely humbled by the fact that God has given me the privilege to be part of His great plan for Africa.  People ask me, "what do you do when you go on these trips?" The answer to that is I do what needs to be done, it has even included picking up garbage at the end of the day. There is nothing special about what I do, for the most part anyone could do what I do.  Somethings are not pleasant, some are hard,  some are uplifting, some are sobering and thought provoking.  I have been tired and realized that God has given me the strength to carry on.  He has used me in my full strength and in my  weakness.  He has used my voice and left me voiceless.  He has encouraged me with the simple things, He has given me a heart for the African people. He has given me a reason to go and He teaches me to trust Him.

I have decided to write this blog to share with all who are interested, my wonderful up coming adventure with the one and only true God.
