Out of the Starting gate..

Just wanted to fill everyone in on some of the ?'s We have been asked re: Upcoming trip to Springs Of Hope Kenya. 1. Why SOHK? Well thats "easy" God said..but here is the "background" Many moons ago {don't ask how many} a dear lady took me to Church..I saw things I had NEVER seen...truly happy people..dancing,claping and more than anything what I "felt" there was amazing..you see I was only 14 and to say I was lost was not even close to how out of control my life was...I accepted Jesus that day but NEVER walked it out..you see I wanted a "lightening bolt" experience..some get this..not I..I had far too much to learn. I spent the next 20 yrs in a haze of drugs,rock n roll,and yes sex..I would cry out to God when I came home from these "parties" when all the drugs and people were gone and it was just I alone, an abandoned little girl again.. About 10-12 yrs ago I began to "investigate" Jesus again..you see I had nothing left I was 30 yrs old and I wasn't at a party anymore I was alone after work with my wine and cocaine everynight..I was not the "party girl" I had to face I was just a drug user and had wasted my life. Thus began a NEW life in Christ..have I been perfect in this walk..NOT HARDLY!! I tell you EVERY day I learn more of my REAL Father the one who will NEVER abandon me ..I now live to do His will....With this in mind I went back to Thank the sweet lady who took me to Church..you see almost ALL of my friends are dead or still "out there" in a day to day life of misery..So I looked her up on Facebook...whatI found my eyes could NOT believe...instead I found her son..my old friend...who I dare to say should not be alive today but for the grace of God!! Much less serving God in Africa!! We spoke and I cried for days...You see him & his beautiful family sold ALL their "stuff" and moved to Nakuru Kenya to open Springs Of Hope Kenya..an orphanage for abandoned mostly HIV/Aids children!! ONLY God could have done this!! and there the door swung WIDE open..I had ALLWAYS known I would travel to Africa..you know that you know that you know feeling..Gods timing is amazing they had just completed the Orphanage in the past 6 months and were recieving children daily..not to mention ALL the other ministry opprtunities they have taken on..So here we go..I said how God...He said he would handle the "how" and then gave me Galatians 3 -3 uh oh only God can call you fool and your ok with that..So next He sent my "'administrator" you see he knows where we are weak..Then we said again how? Who is going to take a Transformed drug user & a single Mom seriously when they say "We are going to Africa" ...Well God has breathed life into this trip in more ways than I can count..will fill you in more later on the many mini-miracles in only 1 month!! Wich brings you here to this page. I ask you to pray for wisdom and for favor on our team as we enter on this journey...what a privledge to be His hands & feet we have approx 6-8 people confirmed and MUCH work to do..I am LOVING it though..NOTHING like walking in something you KNOW you are called to do!! We are here God use us!! G
