our journey to rwanda....

an opportunity presented itself and we decided to follow where God was leading - rwanda, a land of a thousand hills. a land where almost 1,000,000 were massacred in 100 days in 1994, a land where orphans abound.

our prayer is that God will use this trip to show us many things - but mainly Himself and how we can help the children.

our time will be spent primarily serving in orphanages. we can hardly wait to get there.

p.s. first time readers -- please read the first blog entry and listen to the song playing :)

shout out!

thanks to each of you who bought pajamas and a toy for the orphans at C.A.L.M. i am so very excited to give these gifts to the children there! so many of you put your heart into picking out just the right gifts and i can never thank you enough. i told someone this morning in an email that it is like i am now taking a piece of each of you with me. that gives me great comfort to know i am traveling with some of my favorite people :)

and an extra special thanks to two very special friends (you know who you are :) with ginormous hearts who sought out incredible deals and got over 35 pairs of women's sandals and over 40 pairs of the cutest children's pjs you have ever seen.

and thanks sam for agreeing to forego birthday gifts at your party this year for orphanage donations instead. all it took was the snickers bar i was holding for you to agree that this was a great idea. when you hand over that $120, i guarantee it will be a blessing to your heart.

and thanks to 'the chosen 12' men at church who were given jars to save their change all month so we can give it to the orphanage. you indeed will help 'change' lives for these kids.
