On April 29, 2010 God broke my heart for the orphans even more than when I was 7. For the kids that had no one.
I would stand in front of children here that had no one to care for them or love them and my heart broke. I would look at the pic of my baby sister and realized more and more that many of the kids in Africa had no food, water or medicine while I had so much. And my heart broke even more.
I wished I could help somehow, but then it hit me that I could. That it didn’t have to be like this. Then God gave me the vision for FTO and I was beyond excited (you can read that store HERE). I couldn’t wait to help change this world. I wake up everyday excited for how He will use me that day to further His kingdom.
Today as we celebrate all that God has done in just 4 years, I am amazed. I sit here remembering all the trips to Ghana and all the kids I came in contact with. I remember playing tag, soccer, bubbles, or just sitting and holding a little one. I have been to Ghana 7 times and each time I go it feels like home. It’s like I am just staying here in America for awhile, but someday I will board a plane with a one-way ticket. I will go to the place that I call my HOME, to the place where the people and culture have stolen my heart. To where God has led me. Until then I will be here serving people that have also stolen a piece of my heart. God has done so much and I can’t wait to see what He will do next.
Thank you so much for walking this journey and changing the world…one child at a time.
