Trying to follow God in life is filled with unexpected joys, heart-wrenching loss, total dependence on His goodness & faithfulness and thankfulness that the speck of faith that itself is God's gift to you- can grow and flourish because of things He has been working out in the tapestry of our interwoven lives.
I was introduced to Jess Smith via email mid April 2013 from Mark McCoy. Mark is a young man that came through the same mission program as my son Brian, a couple years later. Africa captured Mark's heart- like so many of us. You do need to come for yourself- let your heart be touched too :) Mark contacted me to ask why I would start a non profit there & so I shared the story of how God brought Monica & me together. It seemed to touch his heart and we stayed in contact via email. He even built a better website and tried to set up a summer time fundraiser. Fast forward a few years and Mark is in Nairobi, Kenya starting a business to bring volunteers to the school and he introduces me to Jess Smith. Isn't God incredible??
The "things" God sets up are pretty awesome. When each one decides to stop day dreaming and finally takes that leap of faith- ahhhh- the potential for great "things" abounds!!! His story writing the tapestry of these precious children's lives- and how each person chose to leap, not hold back...
KEEP LEAPING...KEEP TRUSTING GOD!!!
Please read and enjoy this beautiful young ladies guest post! Jess Smith...
