...Patiently Waiting
After I applied for a visa, I started to pack and get ready to depart with faith that God would provide me with the visa. God, however, had a different agenda. I ended up getting denied 2.5 weeks later and found myself on my knees that evening asking God with tears in my eyes, “What do YOU want, Lord?” A question I’ve been asking a lot during my journey of support raising. Rather than asking why this is happening, I knew I had to ask what do I do with the additional time God has given me.

Cries Heard, Prayers Answered
I have 2 exciting stories to share with you! #1. Last time I fasted was more than 4 years ago and I fasted because I wanted to experience what it means to be hungry physically. It never crossed my mind that it was a personal sacrifice for the Lord. Just after the whole conversation with my father, I cried out to God asking Him what to do and where to go. I couldn't quite hear His voice because, frankly, I gave up and I think God realized that I hit rock bottom. Then, it started to happen. I started to hear from God, "My beloved child, exactly how far are you willing to go for Me?" "… Read more >>
