Expanding the Dream

The dream that has become my reality is now expanding to Haiti. I am both excited and anxious. Everything is in the planning and team building stage but as I see it all coming together I marvel that God knew it would happen this way before I was born. He put all of this energy, creativity, compassion and direction in me. He loved me as I was but didn’t leave me the way he found me. And now I get to use all that He has put in me to sow into someone else’s life. Simply amazing! A girl from the other side of the tracks is again on her way to the other side of the world. His world!

Start your sewing Dream now!

Fresh out of college, but already doing business I had no idea this is how my dream would turn out. I always wanted to be a teacher (but not public school), to travel and I loved to sew. Who knew that it was God’s plan for me all along? Here I am years later and I can see that it has all come true. Not the way I had envisioned it, but none the less all true. It was in my early 20′s that I made quilts with shapes of Africa, never imagining that I would go there one day. After many years of custom sewing I started teaching others in 1999. By 2004 I went on my first missionary trip to Kenya. Several years and trips later I had the honor of staying for a month to work with sewing classes in two Nairobi slums. Since then I have traveled to Papua New Guinea (near Australia) and presented sewing workshops there also. Now as I prepare to go to Haiti to work with children and do another sewing workshop I am in awe that God had this planned for me the whole time. I love how the reality of my life is greater than my dream. What have you always wanted to do? If you take a look you may find that you are already on that path… If not, get started now!
