{Meet Abigael}

My heart continues to fill with joy as God showcases his love throughout the world!
Recently, I felt God leading me to truly be his hands and feet in every aspect of my life including my finances.

Meet Abigael: She is a beautiful 6 year old girl from Kenya who lives with her mom and dad who are farmers and 4 brothers and 5 sisters! She enjoys drawing and playing handball! :)

The video below is just a little snipet of her while she is coloring and she is absolutely precious! God's love shines through her smile, what a blessing from heaven she is!

It has been truly an amazing journey as God continues to reveal different areas in my life where he is wanting to transform me into more of his likeness. Not a day goes by that I am not in amazement of his love and guidance.  Through prayer and scripture as well as different opportunities throughout my day I am given a glimpse of what God has in store for all who believe and trust in him. What a blessing it is to have the opportunity to become more like him and live out the life of Love that he calls his children to! What an amazing God we serve!

You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
- 2 Corinthians 9:11

So encouraging to see that through every new opportunity he gives us, the joy that overflows in our hearts is able to rejoice with thanksgiving and turn all glory back to God! :)

What a blessing that God would lead me towards sponsorship and be able to support this precious child he created and loves! :)

Calvary love - Amy Carmichael

If

I have not compassion on my fellow-servant, 

even as my Lord had pity on me, 

then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If 

I belittle those whome I am called to serve,

talk of their weak points

in contrast perhaps with what I

think of as my strong points'

if I adopt a superior attitude,

forgetting "who made thee to 

differ? and what hast thou that

thou hast not received?"

then I know nothing of calvary love.

If 

I can easily discuss the shortcomings

and the sins of any;

if i can speak in casual way even

of a child's misdoings,

then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If 

I find myself half-carelessly taking

lapses for granted,

"Oh, that's what they always do,"

"Oh, of course she talks like that,

he acts like that,"

then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If 

I can enjoy a joke at the expense of 

another;

if I can in anyway slight another in

conversation,

or even in thought, 

then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If 

I can write an unkind letter, 

speak an unkind word,

think an unkind thought without

grief or shame,

then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If

I do not feel far more for the grieved 

Savior than for my worried self

when troublesome things occur,

then i know nothing of Calvary love.

If

I know little of His pitifulness 

(the Lord turned and looked upon Peter),

if I know little of His courage of 

hopefulness for the truly humble 

and penitent

(He said unto him, "Feed My lambs"),

then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If

I deal with wrong for any other

reason than that implied in the 

words,

"From His right hand went a fiery 

law for them Yea, He loved

the people";

if I can rebuke without a pang, 

then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If 
my attitude be one of fear, not faith,
about one who has disappointed
me;
if I say, "Just what I expected," if a
fall occurs,
then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If 
I do not look with eyes of hope on
all in whom there is even a faith
beginning,
as our Lord did, when,
just after His disciples had
wrangled about which of them
should be accounted the greatest,
He softened His rebuke with those
heart-melting words, "Ye are
they which continued with Me in My temptations,"
then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If 
I have not the patience of my
Savior with souls who grow
slowly;
if I know little of travail (a sharp
and painful thing) till Christ be fully formed in them,
then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If 
I am afraid to speak the truth, lest I
lost affection,
or lest the one concerned should
say, "You do not understand,"
or because I fear to lose my
reputation for kindness;
if I put my own good name before
the other's highest good,
then I know nothing of Calvary love.
