Honestly, right now I don't really know. What can I say? How do I explain what God has done in me when i don't even know myself? :o) I think it's going to take some time before I will be able to understand how I have changed during my time here in Pemba, Mozambique. But I do know that I have changed. A lot. I've seen and experienced a totally different culture from my own. I've sat and learned at the feet of some of the greatest generals in the faith on the earth today. I've developed a friendship that will last for the rest of my life. I've held kids in my arms and dreamed of how God could take and multiply my little little life. I've seen poverty, joy, pain, and love like I've never seen before. I've cried a lot, danced a lot, thought a lot, and laughed a lot. I've smelled fresh African rain, gazed at shining African stars, watched the breathtaking African sunrise, and listened to glorious African worship. I've allowed God to break my heart for the things that break His heart, and I've allowed Him to dream His dreams through me. I've said "yes" to the call to missions but don't know where He is calling me to yet. And I've fallen in love with the One who loved me first.
So even though I don't really know how to explain it, I know I'm different. But if you want to know how you're going to have to watch me. :o)

Why do you love God?...
Have you ever thought about it?...
I love God because first He loved me. (1 John 4:19)
He loved me even before I was born.
Jer. 1:5 "Before I formed you... I knew you."
And He loved me enough to send His own Son to die for me. Can you imagine being willing to give up your own child? That's crazy!!! But He did it. He gave Him up because He couldn't stand being separated from us. He couldn't bear the thought of not being able to be with us. He loves us that much!!!
It blows my mind!
It really blows my mind that the God of the universe would come down to earth as a man, that He would humble himself that much, and that He would die for me.
He died for me.
He died for you.
That's love.
