The Face of My Calling


This is one of my favorite photos from our trip. For me it symbolizes God's calling in my life. During our final week in Arusha, we visited an orphanage called Samaritan Village. It was filled with small children, many were left by their prostitute mothers. God was moving in me that day. I instantly felt drawn to this baby girl. Though she was about a year old, she was small. I held her most of the time we were there and cried a lot when we left her there. In fact, thoughts and photos of her still bring me to tears most of the time. You see I finally realized that God has been developing a heart for orphans in me for many years. I thought for a long time that God wanted me to adopt and make a difference that way. Though that is not a lost dream, I now see that God has a greater plan for me to make a difference in the lives of more than one orphaned child. Please pray for me as I seek to understand, where God is calling me to minister.
