Day 3

June 5

I'm here! We're finally in Africa together and God, You are so alive and at work! I don't feel homesick at all, actually the opposite. I feel like my heart has been divided between the home I was born in and Africa to which it was called at the age of 8 - and that part of my heart feels completely and indescribably at home! In London I felt so lost, disoriented, and anxious. I don't feel any of those emotions here. I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, without a doubt. Father, why have you called me here? What is my specific purpose? Please reveal what you have for me here. Open my heart to see you clearly, to know you deeper, and to fall even deeper in love with you. Use this trip to bind us together so closely that even in the states you are my desire and nothing else can come before you. Father, give me a heart for these orphans. Help them to open up to me and as they do, speak through me to directly communicate to them yourself - I am your vessel, use me. I don't know what this week holds, but I know it's big, good, and something you couldn't tell me in America. I trust you and anxiously await for you to speak to my heart here.

"Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen." ~Ephesians 3:20-21
