About Me

I live most of my time in Kenya, Africa. Some people may call it crazy but I call it home. It is where God has called me to serve Him and I do it, with more than a joyful and cheerful heart. Life is so different in Kenya; you can actually "stop and smell the roses" there. The people there are always thankful for what they have been given, even if it's barely anything....for they see it that it is more than what they had before. I love my nieces and nephews; I pray that they grow to be the women and men that God intended them to be. I love the laughter that comes from them and the innocence that shines through them. I love my family and friends and I am so thankful to God for putting each of them in my life. They have all taught me things that I will forever cherish. I love my Lord and Savior. He died for me; He carried my sins so that I could be with Him someday. He provides a love that is so unconditional, we will never fathom it. How blessed am I!

My Interests

Serving God to better His kingdom. In James 1:27 it says: Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. My interests and passions are the same: taking care of the orphans and widows of Africa. To be soaked in the glory of God; to remain on His path. That is how I keep myself from being polluted by the world. I love children; hugging them, covering them with kisses and showing them that there is someone out there who loves them, thinks of them and prays for them. Africa, the people of Kenya, the different cultures and my mud and grass hut.****This is a video for an organization called "TRANSFORMED INTERNATIONAL."
