life
the absolute best thing about my life, is that it's mine.
wow, that's sounds seriously egotistical, but i've got to tell you, it's the absolute truth! and i am blessed to have it, every single minute.
this past weekend i attended a women's retreat through my church. it was held in prescott, az. now i am a spiritual woman, but my relationship with God is mostly between Him and i. that means i'm not too interested in sharing Him unless i think the other person can benefit.
i also don't believe that the "label" of the church is as important as your belief in God Himself. whether you are an episcopalian, catholic, lutheran, methodist, baptist, i don't really care. the label on the outside of the church is of less concern to me than what's held in your heart.
as you know, if you've read my last few blogs, my contract was unexpectedly terminated due to last minute funding cuts. but where a door closes. . . i couldn't help but think of my favorite bible quote. . .Jeremiah 29 11-13.
as i sat listening to the next presentation at the retreat, a dear woman took the microphone and told the story of a small orphanage on the eastern side of the sea of cortez. it had recently been leveled and condemned leaving some 20 - 30 orphans to fend for themselves once again in their short little lives. help is urgently needed to find suitable housing for these children until a permanent structure already under construction in najavoa, mexico could be completed.
no one asked for a nintendo or mp3 player. they asked for food. they need eating utensils, cooking pans, the basics.
are you putting this together? me = no job. me = cargo van. me = free time. me = passion for helping children.
it's a match made in heaven.
i leave this week to visit w's mother in montana. we return the following tuesday. on wednesday, i am loading up the van and heading to parts south. obregon or navajoa, i'm not even sure where yet.
i've got a passport, wheels, a pair of strong hands and a loving heart. i think we can make a difference in someone's life.

11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
