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!

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!
