Layout by:Hey there! My name is Nicole, but people call me a wide variety of names...get to know me and maybe youll come up with a new one! God has put me down an amazing road in life, and I am truly blessed to be in His mercy. I was just clicking around on the computer one day after going to a Derek Webb concert and learning of a missions group he was affliated with "Blood:Water Missions" and I came across Invisible Children.I was heartbroken to learn of the devistations that Africans encounter on a daily basis. I was heartbroken yet I rejoiced in this new knowledge because I was automatically pulled towards there. I can learn and see the depravity of other countries and yet they dont affect me the way Africa does. I want to be there. Why wait for someone else to do something. I am a christian and I have been blessed with a hope that others that dont know Him, dont have. I want to show the children of Uganda that there is something other than what the go through everyday. That there is more to this world than pain, suffering and death. That there is something to look forward to after here. I want to be over there just sharing the love I have for them. Showing them that there are people who know of them. If you have ever been in any kind of a relationship (parents, grandparents, friends, significant others) you know what its like to be away from them and to have this feeling of need when you do something like look at a picture of them, or you see a "chick flick" and it reminds you of them, or a song, just something along those lines....well I get that all the time, I have something on my mind constantly, and its the children of Africa. I pray that I will be able to fullfill my desires. That I will be over in Africa soon in the red dirt, tucking in the children in the safe houses who have escaped the rebels for the night and lying there with them. Giving them support, kicking around a ball with them, teaching them in school....ANYTHING...just to be there with them. This is why I made this page. I want to show you some of the things that you hardly learn in school. These things broke my heart...maybe they will reach you too! Maybe you will now understand my desires....and why my prayers are FILLED with the things of AFRICA.....
