back to blogging!

Hey everyone,
It's been a loooooong time since i've written a blog! After reading some blogs by some new friends, it inspired me to get back in the saddle. It's good to share what God is doing at Treasures of Africa Children's Home and talk about our amazing kids.
This month marks our 3 year anniversary of taking in children. The first children we took in were Sifaeli, Fatuma, Glory and Helena on March 21, 2007. I still remember the day we picked them up. I couldn't believe that God was actually bringing to pass a dream He had put in my heart years before of caring for orphaned children. Be encouraged that if God promises something and you haven't seen it come to pass yet, HE WILL DO IT! Our part is just to enjoy the journey and learn the lessons He has planned for us along the way. And when it does come to pass, you will understand why God made you wait!
I am in awe of God when i look at the children every day and see how they've grown, physically, intellectually, and spiritually. It is so cool to see God's plan unfold in their lives. These kids really love God and they are examples to me in their passion and devotion and simple, child-like faith.
So i just wanted to post this blog to thank God for an amazing 3 years so far. It has been a challenge for sure, but the victories definitely outweigh the hardships.
Thanks to everyone who has been praying for us and supporting us financially. I am here and i can say that it has truly made a huge difference in the lives of these children.
God bless you!
