which has been the longest 5 months of my life. I want this blog to be about the beautiful children I met in Gisenyi, Rwanda and the lasting impact they have had on my life.
Let me give you a little background..
When I was 12 years old I felt the Lord put the country of Rwanda on my heart. I had no idea why, and I had no clue that 8 years later this is where I would be, but it is also greater than I could ever imagine. Through out the years, I would rent every book possible about Rwanda and sit and read them all and continue to pray and ask God what this was about. Mission's was on my heart, but I kind of put it on the back burner not knowing what God wanted.
When I got to my first year of college and
got connected with an awesome church,
God began to reveal things to me about
what I was going to be doing in Rwanda,
and began to reunite my heart with that passion
.
I'll give ya a little shorter version from here on out...
I found some amazing people who were going to be taking a trip to Rwanda summer of 2011. And I took a leap of faith and joined. And from then on out I realized my calling. I spent 2 weeks (which is no where near enough time) loving and holding some of God's precious children in an orphanage of about 600 children... this orphanage is called Noel. And this place has been on my heart ever since I got back.. and will continue to be for the rest of my life.
I don't know when I will be going back. Hopefully soon.
I don't know what God fully has in store for me. But I know it's something great.
I don't know how one girl is going to accomplish all of it. But I know my God will give me the strength
Those children deserve someone loving them..
They deserve to know the love of Christ..
They need someone.
They need Christ.
I want to be God's vessel in Rwanda.
This is why I know God gave me faith bigger than my fear.
