Nangobi

I just recently returned from two weeks in Uganda. I spent time with children who have been orphaned by AIDS and taught them about the message and love of Jesus Christ. 

Meet Nangobi. She's 9 years old and is an orphan. She lives in Namugongo, Uganda, in a place known as "The Blue House" with all of her brothers and sisters. She's the most precious human being I've ever met. 

Words cannot describe the love that this little girl has shown to me or the ways that she's changed my life. A bond so strong, created in such a short amount of time. I miss her dearly and I'm already looking forward to the time in which we'll get to meet again, hopefully sooner rather than later. Let me know if you want to hear stories-I have plenty.

In preparation for the trip, I thought of the many ways that I had hoped to bring joy into the lives of the children. The irony of that thought makes me laugh...I think I'm the lucky one. 

To my family in Uganda, you're in my thoughts and prayers always.

So many beautiful children with stories to tell and smiles that make the world a warmer place. 

You are welcome!

Hello friends!

I’ve been thinking about creating this blog for quite some time now. I’m looking forward to being able to spew my heart and brains out on days that I feel like it…and being absolutely ridiculous on every other day, just because I can:)

Who knows if anyone will actually be reading this, but I think it’ll definitely feel good to get my thoughts out. I hope to use this blog as a place that I can call my own. A place where I can feel free to share things about life that make me smile and those that do the complete opposite. I hope my thoughts bring a new perspective, or affirm yours so that you know you're not alone. 

Thanks for reading!
