Strengthening My Heart

Wow, God is really starting to prepare me for my trip. As most of you know my Uncle Logan and Aunt Julie are already in Tenwek. Aunt Julie has been emailing us very often with things to bring, a volleyball they have a net, who would have thought? As well as the boring things such as umbrella, crocs and other things. I must say I don't own a pair of crocs but will be willing to give them a try! Ha. Just when I'm getting all excited about my trip, we get an email on how Uncle Logan is doing in the hospital, and then the reality of what I'm doing sets in. It's not about my volleyball or the crocs, its about the twins that were born, and their mother died in childbirth. They will spend the first two years of their life in the orphanage. My heart started hurting for people I have not even met, I do hope I get to meet these sweet babies on my trip, just to say an extra prayer over them. I just have to remember God is good and knows the plan. I must follow his directions and keep the faith.

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
