South Africa

YAY!!!! I am so excited about the fact that I'm going to be in South Africa for 10 days!!! 

I can't believe that my choir gets to do this. 

We all get to do a bunch of service projects: working/playing with orphan kids, sponsoring young adults/students, and painting/building houses. I can't wait to feel like I might be doing something right. Something that God wants me to do--to help those who are poor, lonely. God focuses so much of His attention on the poor of the world-in so many ways. 
He wants us to help those who are financially and materially poor. 
He wants us to help those who are spiritually poor--those who do not know Him. 
And even though all these projects are sponsored through the choir tour, it's just a simple taste of the stuff that I could do to help those around me. I really can't wait to spend time down there, making new friends and getting to know the true needs. 
I pray that God would make this a fun trip--but more importantly, a spiritual one. One that will make me open the Bible and seek answers. One that will make me want to spend more time in prayer. One that will ensure that I see God's face among those whom I will work with. 

I know this is going to be incredible.
