This blog is all about my journey living and working in Moshi, Tanzania. This process began before I moved to Moshi in July 2006 and continues as I have been living here six and a half years. I like to write blogs about the kids here at Treasures of Africa Children's Home and about life in Tanzania and the fun things about living in a different culture. The children have become a huge part of my life here. I have fallen in love with them and each day they bring something new and fun to life. God has truly blessed me.

Ordination Sunday

Yesterday was a wonderful day. I was officially ordained as a missionary of Safe Harbor Church. It makes the realization of moving to Africa in July that much more real. I was so blessed by the whole service. My mom, aunt, uncle and cousin were there and said they loved the service. It was a very special time.
There it is...one more step closer on this journey of getting ready to leave. I like these moments when it hits me hard that I am leaving soon. Being ordained as a missionary of Safe Harbor Church has me realizing how much work I have left to do and the small amount of time I have to get it all done. Then I feel this strong need to completely depend on the Lord and trust Him. It floods my soul and I begin to relax because the Lord is calling me to lean on Him completely...thanks God for the reminder again and again.
This is quite a journey I am on. I've never traveled this road before...thanks Connie for the words of encouragement...It's all new and very exciting. :)
