Stars in the Sky

God is putting things together and leading me down His Path a little at a time and that is good because I wouldn't be able to enjoy and see the little blessings around me and learning new things now if He gave everything to me at once.  I'm alone a lot now because of my times at work. I work evenings Tuesday through Saturday but in the mornings that gives me a lot of time with God and see my dream come together. This week as I was spending time with God He gave me an unique name for my Orphanage/Foster home and it comes from a verse in Deut. that I was reading. It is about how God put the numbers of stars in the sky, why don't when trust him to do the little things. I got to thinking that my orphanage/foster home can be called that because every time I'm helping a kid I'm adding a star to the sky. I also got a motto for my orphanage/foster home from a friend. She told me that I was really passionate about what I was doing and I asked her what was that and she said, "To help children feel the love they have not received from others. To believe the best in them. To be there loyally for them" and that was perfect. I started a craft on my wall of the name of my dream orphanage/foster care home in the middle and all of the children's names that I have touched so far from different places on stars and put them around the name and the motto. God is showing me step by step and that is what and how He is going to keep doing it. I also what to read the Prayer Circle book because I heard it is really good and I want to learn to pray that way now that I have a dream going. I really don't regret where I am in life. Things are good and I'm happy and it makes sense for once in my life. Who knew that 25 would be where it all really begins. :)

Trying to start a mission blog

Hey-
I'm going to start to try a mission blog/dream blog so it can become real to me and other people. I will try and keep it updated and least every other week if not every other day. My life has just been interesting from the start of 2013 and I want to share what God has been doing in it. I want to write a story about things I've learned or get advice from other people on missions or just how to go about the things I want to go about. This will be the desires of my heart and I would love for people to read it but at times I understand that it might get too meaningful for some and that's okay. I've just been working and learning a lot and I need to get things out there and I'm a better written then talker, which I need to try to be better at. This will have verses and what they mean to me, prayer requests, thoughts, and just want I'm learning through everyday life because I work on a mission field here in the state of AR and I love it. It is challenging and there are stories to share everyday but when you get done at 10:00 at night there is really no one to talk to or share those stories with but this way I can write it down and you can read it anytime. Please feel free to leave encouragement when you want to. I'm hoping to write down God's path or what I think is God's path for me on here so that would be neat to see too. I'm doing this so I don't have to do it alone. Promise the next one will make this post make more sense. You will see what I plan on doing.
