So Excited


So today I took a big step toward actually getting to Kenya! I got my passport picture taken AND picked up the passport app..then called dad to ask him to send me my birth certificate which by the grace of GOD he actually had! This is really happening...I am going to Kenya!

I have not updated my blog in awhile because life has kept me busy, and because I had a health relapse for a bit. I am back up and at it again so you can expect to see and hear more from me now.

As for my jewelry to benefit the orphans, I have had an influx in orders which I will put together this weekend (as long as all of the supplies arrive)! I also started a program to help spread the word about my Art for Africa project! I am recruiting marketing help for my jewelry and a reward program for anyone who signs up to spread the word! The current promo rewards my marketing team member with $5 for each necklace order that comes in as a result of their help with promoting my jewelry special. Know someone who might enjoy becoming a part of this team and earning some extra income while raising money for a great cause? Have them contact me!

Have an awesome day!

He is Risen!

Over the past week I have felt inspired and blessed every single day because of this ministry that God has laid on my heart. I feel like I am benefiting more than then children who will ultimately be supported through our project. This new mission in my life has given me a reason to get up every morning, inspiration to be the best I can be, and something other than myself to think about. True happiness comes by following God and serving others..and now I see why!

So, today I ask you this question: Are you truly happy? Do you feel joy when you look at your life and what you spend you time and energy doing each day? If not, I challenge you to give it to God. Ask him to ignite a fire in you and to show you how He wants to use you. I know that this is scary..but trust me. It is worth the risk. He already has a plan for your life, and he knows you inside and out. His plan is not to cause you anguish but to lift you from the things that you have strayed toward in your pursuit of happiness. Don't leave God behind. Seek Him each day, and He will direct your paths. You might be amazed at where he leads you. Look at me...he lead me all the way to Africa!

Happy Easter!
