Open door

The most exciting thing in the world is when God opens a door and bids you to walk through it.  Emotions run wild when He calls, everything from hilarious joy to overwhelming fear. 

I answered this call and stepped out of my very comfortable life to follow Him.  There are no words to explain what waits on the other side of the faith walk.  I've spent the past 11 years as a volunteer traveling to Ukraine and Russia to deliver humanitarian aid to orphans, street children, prisoners and the elderly, as Jesus said, "to the least of these".  

The minute I stepped off the plane in Kyiv, Ukraine in 1999, my life has never been the same.  God got my attention and my heart while igniting a passion for those who are living in the margins of society.  God rocked my life and I changed, forever.

After a short detour, the door is again opening to a new destination......Israel.  This is not a random destination, but the result of 3 years of seeking God in prayer, with my husband.

We are preparing to walk in the footsteps of Jesus and  I am looking forward to the next chapter of my life and the adventures the Father has planned for us.
