It's a first!

Let me tell ya a little bit about myself. 

My daily goal is to die to my selfish desires and glorify God in everything. I fail God on a daily basis but he is gracious enough to forgive me. My favorite colors are purple and orange. I’ve found a new fascination with bracelet making. I am awful at any given sport but I enjoying trying. Humming is a common activity of mine ( I get if from my Nana) I want to learn how to play every musical instrument possible. Rain is God’s constant reminder to me of how awesome He is, I love playing in it. I want other people to know that they can find their Identity in Messiah and nothing else. I’m learning that more and more everyday :) The only good thing about me is Him.

OH and did I mention I absolutely love Africa?! I do. Long story short, I started a non-profit organization for girls in Africa at fourteen. That’s partially why I am writing this. I want to take you on a journey through the experiences that come from the daily stress of knowing you have 58 lives in Kampala Uganda counting on your efforts to help them. It’s no easy feet, that’s for sure. But its incredibly worth it. It blows my mind that merely three years ago, this was all just an idea and now it’s a reality. An idea is a powerful thing. I can no credit for it though, as God wills this project continues. We live in a very loud generation. One that loves to be free to dance, sing, or worship however they please. I pray we never become so loud that we drown out the cries of the desperate and oppressed.

Some people may ask why I even began this. I can answer them by telling them that I asked God to awaken my heart. This can be a very dangerous thing, because when he opens your eyes, a new responsibility to stand up against oppression happens. So I ask that you go on this journey with me, patiently as I am not sure if time will allow tons of new posts. I had a seven month wait till my dreams of going to Kampala came true! So now I want you take a look into what I found while I was there. I fell in love I can tell you that, even more so than before. 

To the only God be all honor, glory, majesty, and power for all ages now and forever more. :) Isaiah 6.
