Want to know what I've been up to?  I'll give you a hint-






And, since I will most likely go into withdrawals if I don't post something Africa-related.....
138 days :) 

146 Days, 21 hours, and 10min

I serve an AWESOME God!!!  It is so amazing to know that you are doing something that God want you to do.  Only 8 days ago I spent all but $50 of my Uganda savings on a plane ticket.  Since then I have received $600!  half of that came in the form of a check from a woman whom I just met TODAY when we went to Magee for mama's Dr's appointment.

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.   John 14:13

All I ask is that I might serve in whatever way will bring gory to my heavenly Father.  Today, it looks as if He wants me on a plane to Uganda. :)

The dream/149 days 'till Africa

Evidently, living in a mud hut in the middle of Africa is not what most "normal" teenage girls dream about. I guess I'm just strange.  But, do you know what I want?  More than anything? And just in case you think I don't know what I'm getting myself into, read this post. www.kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com  That is the Africa that I want to be in.  Do you think I'm strange?  That's ok, I'm pretty sure I am.  Why would anyone want to be in that Africa?  That's where my heart is. How did it get there you ask?  That's easy, I gave it to Jesus and He put it there.    

Oosp, did I say live?  hehehe.... :)
