How long?

Africa.
Africa.
Africa.
I can say that to myself all day long and still not believe myself when I say that I have stepped foot on that beautiful place...
It's March 6th, 2012. Almost 8 months since I came home from Africa. Here I am wishing to be back.
This post marks the third time I have started to write a post but have not been able to put to words exactly what I thought would be best to say. You may be wondering why I am posting on this blog. I am not going back to Africa or anywhere else this summer. I did not feel that was where God wanted me to be this year. I prayed about it, sought wise counsel and prayed some more. I ultimately felt God calling me to stay home in the United States this year. Who knows what next year may hold.
This blog as it is now set up will be a place to share stories of God's faithfulness and how amazing his love is. It will be a place to share Bible verses. It will be a place where you can share with me and the others who read this blog how God has blessed you.
I would like to start right away by sharing with you some ways God has blessed me lately.
Recently, I came across a blog of a wonderful woman of God who lives in Uganda who is not much older than I, and is raising 13 beautiful little African girls.
I am blessed continually by the updates of the ministry I worked with while I was in Africa.
There have been some wonderful missionaries who have come to my church to share their testimonies.
These are just a few ways that God has been showing his faithfulness to me!
What ways has he been working in your life?
