Getting closer!!!!

This is a picture of some of the babies and nannies at Sonrise. I will be traveling to Jinja, Uganda on July 12th with my new found friends Mandi, her husband Jeremy, Charli and Amy Washington the Co-Director of  Sonrise Baby Home.  Damali Wattier the Founder & and Co-Director of the home is in the center (2nd row) holding Steven. Sonrise is currently home to 19 children, with ages ranging from newborn twin boys James & John and some of the oldest being 4-6 years old. Sonrise has just expanded to have a separate home for the older children who are now attending preschool.

If I could you could hear me right now, you would hear me SCREAMING...... AHHHHHHH! I can't wait to step foot on the ground in Africa. (can't think about the flying....whole other story) I have been thinking about the people there for about a year now and now I get to finally go. I am soooo excited that God has chosen me to go and do this amazing thing.  At times I don't even know what "it" is that I am suppose to go and do and other times I know that I am just to go and do.....do His work. I once heard it told by someone that had me in tears, "You never know what God will do if you just take one obedient step at a time". I just know that my heart has been called to these children, this home, these ladies. So, here it goes, my obedient steps and may I offer my heart completely to the One who gave it all for me!
