Welcome........................

Hello everyone! I can't believe this blog has really been "birthed"! It started as a vision in my quite time with the Lord and thanks to a dear friend Delilah, it is now a reality on the page. A little joke we have is that she ALWAYS makes me look good as she is my Hope side kick as well! Please know I played no part in this creative genius. I am only good at asking for favors. Ok, so I am REALLY going to Ethiopia! I am still trying to convince myself, can you tell?? I want to begin by thanking so many of you who are literally sending me. Delilah goes in with that bunch as well!

I am so excited and in awe of the Lord's provision. As I type I have been blessed with over 2/3 of what I need. I still have to come up with almost $500 for the shots as well so I will go ahead and throw out that prayer request. I know the Lord is going to provide; I am just not doing such a great job at this very moment trusting in HIS provision. I am trying to take every precaution and get all the recommended shots because several things that are not super dangerous to an adult can be dangerous to small children. Obviously I can put up some cash and suffer the sting to protect my sweet baby and any others I come in contact with after the trip. I plan to do my very best to archive this entire trip from the time the Lord spoke to my heart about Africa several years back. I am praying my husband has some of those memories stored back because I know He did speak, but the when, why and how are still a bit fuzzy in my brain. I do remember the "where" was at First Baptist Church Clarksville. That church planted so many precious things in my heart, but my most thankful to date is hearing Brother Roger say, "this book (the Bible) is TRUTH, it is not a suggestion". That statement alone changed my entire life and I will forever be thankful for that firm foundation! Ok, until next time, thanks so much for coming along!!!!

We're goin to Ethiopia,
