Overwhelming Joy..

As most of you know last Monday I left for Africa.

It is so hard for me to put words to the emotions that I am overwhelmed with.

Thank you Jesus for this opportunity for me to travel across the world to live out

James 1:27.

While I was there we helped, loved on, and fed widows and orphans.

God wrecked me all during my short time there.

And I know for a fact I will be back very soon..

hopefully for good!

On Friday Sept 28th, I got to meet my sponsor child.

A few months after we started our sponsorship,

 I had a dream that I got to meet her and just play and love on her.

And for that dream to come true means so much.

God is so good!

She is beautiful in every way possible. And I am so blessed to call her my sponsor child.

Though she was shy when we first met, hearing her tell me how much she loved me

and how happy she was that I was there made me feel good about sponsoring her.

We made cards for each other, danced, made videos to send back home,made funny faces, but most of all just loved on each other and shared lots and lots of laughs.

It broke my heart as I was telling her bye.

It was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

But I know one day soon I will see her again.

So to Every. Single. Person. 

who donated money,bought a headband, a brownie, or a bracelet from me

Thank YOU!!!

I couldn't have gotten there with out each of you.

I am forever grateful 

OMGSH

Its almost here!!!

Oh. My. Gosh!!!

....................................Africa.........................................

SEVEN DAYS AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

I still can't believe that I'm actually going!

God is so so so amazing.

And I'm so excited to see what he does during this trip,

not only in myself and the team but 

how He will use us there to bless the beautiful people of Africa.

I can't explain the excitement I have right now.

Still to this day it amazes me how God placed a dream in my heart

and almost five years later it is coming true!

I'm a little nervous about flying but I know I will do fine!

The devil is just trying to stop me from going

but thats not happening!

I'm just in awe.
Please keep me and my team in your prayers as we travel across
the world to bring hope to the hopeless.


Love you all!

Last night I was going through my old blog post, and came across this one.

Wow if someone would have told me that I would be going to Africa

this year I prob wouldn't have believed them.

God is SO amazing!

And

I am truly blessed to to be able to go this coming September.

I am beyond thankful for this passion God has placed in my heart for Africa

and the beautiful people who live there.

Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!

Not much going on. Taking my week slow since I start working next week.

Which I am super excited about my new job!

As you know(well if you read my last post) I got to be apart of Children's Cups 

Back2School Project.

It was such an honor to be apart of the creative

team this year.

I checked my email today and these two pictures were in there.

So I figured I would share them with you all.

Saturday night 

didn't do to much.

Dad decided to light the outside fire place.

I am so happy we are in our house this fall. I can 

have all my friends over and just hang out around the fire.

I'm happy about that(:

Sunday was my grand maw's bday.

So we went there for lunch and hung out with the family for a while.

Then after that we went to church.

Pastor Dino had an amazing message!

I hate that I had to learn this the hard was.

But I'm happy that God has shown me

He has better things in store for me.

                                                                                                             Kalin<3

This summer I get to be a part of Children's Cup Back To School Project. I am so excited. God is going to do awesome things through it. The project is about sending school supplies to children in Africa for their school year.

This is how it works, you get two back packs for $15.00. You get to keep one then you fill the other with school supplies and send it back to us for a child in Africa. And the $15.00 will help to ship it over there.

You can go to the Children's Cup Facebook page to download posters to spread the word about the project. 

If you would like to buy supplies let me know and I can send you the info on how to get the back packs!

Back2School bags!
