New Fleece Jackets!

To Zambia and back!

After waiting for three years, my daughter and I returned to Zambia to take part in Family Legacy Missions International's Camp Life 2008.  Our trip was more than we could have hoped for and more than I will ever be able to explain to someone who wasn't there.  But I feel compelled to share what I learned and what I saw in hopes of motivating others to either go themselves or to become involved in helping these precious children.  As an American who lives in the lap of luxury by the world's standards, it is very hard to see the orphaned and hungry children on the news and have much more than a general sympathy for their plight.  You just change the channel and move on.  There are so many----how could I really help anyway?  But when you have sat with them, heard their heart-wrenching stories, wiped their tears, shared meals with them and come to love them....Well, then they become not just a mass of hurting children, but individuals with names and families and personalities.  They become your friends.  How can you then go back to your comfortable life and turn on the tv to watch some silly sitcom?  You have to do something to help your new friends who are counting on you.  So here I am, starting a blog as a total newbie who has no writing talent.  Hoping you will catch a glimpse of my girls and either pray for them or maybe even sponsor them.  Thanks for checking in on us!
