God is WONDERFUL.

Last night, I left my computer on, and my skype logged in. This morning first at 330, I heard my skype going off, but could not get to it before they hung up, next I heard my skype going off at 430, and I woke up and got to talk to my wonderful friends over in Ghana, including Gameli, Johannas, and William(the boy my mother is now sponsoring). It is an amazing way to start the day. but it breaks my heart to say good bye again. I am ready to do my part, to do what God wants me to do. and if it is to move over there, or go over there just for a summer or more, then I will. Those kids are precious, Kwame is a true blessing as well. Kwame is the guy whose skype we use, who paints amazing pictures, who is a TRUE MAN OF GOD. Kwame is a wonderful person. These kids are wonderful people.

Take time today and read, take time today to reflect, take time today and pray... ask God what HIS will for YOU is. Because that's just what it is. It is HIS plans for you. NOT your plans for you.

Phil 3:14-15

14I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this in mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.

‎2 Corinthians 12:9

9And HE said to me, 'My grace us sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

 These three young boys are the three that hung on me the entire time I was there. I love these 3 boys with my whole heart. (left to right: the boys are Wisdom, Johannas, and Gameli.) I cannot wait until we are reunited in person, but until then...Skype will do :)

This guy here, is wonderful, no other words can describe him. He is Kwame, he works with the kids, Loves those kids like his own family. I love this man, he is my brother.

"If God can work through me, he can work through anyone."

God does amazing things through different types of people. He could do something amazing like change the heart of someone through someone so small. Like I have posted and said numerous times, my  life was changed within ten days. dramatically. by one little boy, Gameli, and all the other little kids. Here I was a little small town girl, didnt want anything in her life to change. Now I am a small town girl ready for change, ready to pack up and head to Ghana, any day. I AM READY TO MAKE A CHANGE. God is going to work though me, in ways that I have no idea about yet. and I am prepared to let him. He wants to do the same with you... are you ready?

I'm Just one Person...What can I do?

Gameli, a little boy who touched my heart while I was over in Ghana, has been on my mind ALL day today. He and another Little boy that hung to me, Johannes, do not have sponsors. I feel led to sponsor Gameli, he means the world to me, such a sweet little boy, and for Johannes, I feel as if I need to find someone to sponsor him, he too is such a gentle child. I know I am only 20, and I don't know what to do about this situation, but I know I NEED to try to do something.

Whenever I feel led to do something, the same thing comes to mind... I'm only one person...what can I do? And I do not answer this the right way every time, sometimes I think to myself, there is nothing I can do because I'm just a 20 year-old girl, who is a broke college student. But then I hear the Lord, and he reminds me, "I can do ALL things through CHRIST who gives me strength!" Phil 4:13. I'm one person, one 20 year old girl, but with GODs help I can do a lot. I can help change the lives of these two little boys, I can make a difference. Even if it is just a small one, I can do something. Everyone can do something.

So what are you going to do to make a difference? When will you start?
For me, I am going to try my best to find a way to help and sponsor Gameli and Johannes. and I am starting Now.

Are you living your life how you want or letting God take the wheel?

Have you ever wondered why something happens the way it does? The way you don't want it to go? Yeah, you know what I am talking about. YOU think your life is perfect then something changes it goes 'wrong'. Well, maybe in your eyes it went wrong, but GOD has a plan for you, and that needed to be changed for your plan to succeed. God does some amazing things in people's lives. He just changed my own, dramatically. I just got back to the United States, from Ghana, where I met some of the best people and kids you would ever meet! They touched my heart like you wouldn't believe. I, being a girl who swore she'd NEVER leave her small town of Shoals, Indiana, is ready to pack up and move to Ghana, to do what is needed to help these kids that have been rescued off of Lake Volta, rescued from Human Trafficking. I want to help make their lives as best as they can be, I want them to know that THEY can make a difference, that THEY can help stop human trafficking on Lake Volta. Not only do I want to help those kids make a better life and make a difference, but I also want to help rescue more of the children that are enslaved on that lake! Their stories are sad, but they touch your heart. They help you see that though thing grow dark and weary, GOD is always with you.

Take a look at Touchalifekids.org it will tell you so much more about the Kids on Lake Volta.  People like me and you can make a difference...when will you begin?
