Greetings from Africa!!!!!!

Mulishani :

Greetings from Zambia!!!! I am sorry that I have not been able to blog yet……….this is Zambia!!! I can not even begin to put into words what my heart is feeling…….. I cant put into words what it feels like to wake up each morning in Africa, what it feels like to look into the faces of these wonderful people, what its like to be a part of this amazing team that I know God has hand picked to be here, to see the “body of Christ” working together each member doing what God has asked them to do with there whole heart and then lending a hand to help whatever else needs to be done. Each day has proved to be a chance for me to take a bigger Leap of faith and every time My Savior has asked me to do this………..it is His arms I land in!!!!!!

I was going to try and summarize a “normal” day here in Zambia but then I realized that there is no such thing as a “normal’ day each is special filled with its own share of mountains and valleys!!!!! Each day is a day that the Lord hath made and we are rejoicing and are glad in it!!!!! So far, we try and wake up at 5:30 yeah that has not really happened its more like 7:00 but when you cant fall asleep until 2:30 am ( yeah Jet lag sucks L ) its hard to wake up at 5:30. After I get up I try and find some time to just get alone with God and then we meet at 8:00 for group prayer…….let me just say that God has shown me how powerful prayer really is and I love the times when we all come together and pray, its so awesome!!!!!!! We begin to prepare lunch and dinner, yesterday was physically the hardest day thus far, I know that only through God’s strength was I able to carry on, it was awesome to just fall on my Savior and know that He would and that He did carry me!!!!

There is so much to say, so many stories, so many times of laughter , so many things, all of which done to bring glory and honor to our Savior!!!!!! I do have to share one funny story…….ok so a couple of days ago, I was making dinner and drinks and while we were sitting out at dinner I noticed a small rash on my arm( if you know me I kind of was a little worried) ;) so I went on with dinner and then we had the most awesome time of testimony with all the group and I went and took a shower before bed, I got out of the shower and in the process of getting ready for bed I noticed that my rash was gone!!!!! I began to laugh because I realized that I had made red Kool-Aid for dinner to drink and it had stained my arm!!!!!!! It was so funny, so yes, I had a kool aide rash!!!! He he he

I so much love Zambia, the people, the smell, the sunsets!!!! I have been more tired than I even imagined I could ever be, but found such a strength in God that I have never known before!!!! I cant believe that I have to leave this place I have come to love so much!!!!! I am making the most of every second in Zambia!!!!!! Thank you Lord for allowing me to come!!!!
I love and miss you all back home and I cant wait to see you all and tell all of what God has done!!!!!!!


In Christ
