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.

God is Amazing

Yesterday I took the day off work to go over to the health dept to get some shots. During the three hours I sat waiting for them to call my name, I had time to do a little thinking.
I recalled a conversation I had with my mom about a month ago. She has had pneumonia for a couple of months. It has been very discouraging to watch her health decrease. We had a heart to heart conversation during this time when her health just didn't seem to be getting any better. My mom shared her heart's desire for me to go to Africa...no matter what may happen to her. We both cried. She needed to say the things she said to me and I needed to hear her say them. I thanked the Lord for a mom who has so understood my heart in moving to Africa. All I have felt from her is support.
Asking the Lord to touch my mom and heal her has been a constant prayer of mine for the last few months. I have had such a strong sense of God's hand during this time. Spending the day with my mom when she was hospitalized could have been depressing but instead it was a very special time together. God is amazing.
This past Monday my mom went to the doctor for the results of all the tests she'd had the week before. Not only did all the tests come out fine, but the doctor gave her a clean bill of health in regards to the pneumonia.
Thank you God. You are amazing.
