It's been a while

Sorry! I haven't done a very good job keeping you up-to-date with the decisions I've made and where God is leading me.

During my trip in June, I realized a. The needs of Swazis are BIG! and b. I need to do something to help. I thought that helping would be in the form of me physically being there; building a garden, sharing love, teaching people about Jesus but God didn't give me a peace about that.

One thing I realized was, the money I would raise to get settled could be put to such a better use going directly to the people. $12,000 to buy a car, a house, furniture, food, etc. for myself, is $12,000 that could allow children to visit the doctor, put food in their stomachs, give them an opportunity to go to school, the list is endless. I also realized, that donations (most of the time) don't just show up in your bank account. Someone has got to go out and promote The Cause. That person, is me. I feel like first things first, I need to be here in the US spreading the word. Once things have stabilized, then the option of me moving to Swaziland is more feasible.

The other thing that really hit me hard was thinking about doing it by myself. My trip in June was hard enough going from having 30 other Americans to rely on, to having 3 other Americans to hold you up and keep you going. I couldn't imagine going through it alone. So one things for certain, if and when I do move to Swaziland, I won't be going alone. Yes, I can always find strength in the Lord and with Him, everything is possible. I don't doubt that I couldn't do it on my own, but I feel like God wouldn't mind if I had someone with me. :)

So that leaves me here, in Nashville trying to pull together all my resources to get the word out about the children of Swaziland, that are doomed to fall into the cycle of poverty and AIDS unless something is done. Currently, I'm trying to get a prayer program started where people can sign up to pray for 1 child, every day. It's the simplest thing, with the lowest price tag, that makes the biggest difference. I should have it up and running around September 18 so I'll be sure to keep you updated.

There are other projects in the works, but I don't feel like God's revealed everything about them to me yet. So, instead of jumping the gun and telling you like I usually do, I'm going to sit in prayer until God's plan for me is certain. You could pray with me if you'd like!

Thank you, once again for supporting me. God is good!
