I can not believe it's been so long since I last blogged. It's been so long that I am embarrassed. Please forgive me. But the good news is that I'm on a journey. A spiritual journey of sorts. A physical journey of sorts. A geographical journey of sorts. An emotional journey of sorts and I want as many people to come with me as possible.
It started several months ago when GOD put on my heart Africa and the orphaned children who where both dying from AIDS and without parents because they had already passed away because of AIDS. There are millions of homeless, hungry, sick and generally very needed children out there. I thought to myself what can I do? This is a GOD SIZED problem. Can I do anything for anyone? Several thoughts passed through my mind. Maybe I could go there and be a mother to many. I thought I've traveled all over the world as a nurse missionary. Maybe I could travel there as a professional mother. Then I thought maybe there are other mothers who would like to be mothers to a couple of children. It could be full time or could be part time. I'm in the thinking and praying part of the journey. But if you have any thoughts tell me. I want to do something. I know I can do something for at least one other human being. I may not solve the entire problem but I can be a part of the solution no matter how small which is better than doing nothing.
Tell me your thoughts. Oprah went there and gave out gifts to 100,000's of orphans. She is also starting a school for orphaned children It was one of the happiest days of her life. Check out her site www.orprah.com. Her story made me cry and the pictures will definitely touch your heart. I need Andrew to tell me how to link pages. Sorry professional bloggers but you can find the information if your interested. It will require a couple of additional clicks.
Has any one heard of the European Betel Communities? If you have e-mail me back. That's another area of life I am interested in. These are communities for drug addicts, alcoholics, prostitutes, and worse. They a part of the biggest protestant church plant in Spain. They are also self sufficient. Do I have spell check on this baby? I found the spell check. Hurray for me!
Well I want to wish everyone a Happy Christmas. I was praying the other day with my prayer partner and I thought what present could I give GOD to make Him happy? He gave us all the best present in the world. What would He ask of me????????????????????????
What would He ask of you???????????????????????
Food for thought.
I'm sending you all peace, love, joy, satisfaction, and hope.
LOVE MOM MILNER
