11 days. 11 days until I am on a plane to my most favorite place in the entire world. 11 days. 11 reminds me of 2011, the first year I ever went to Zambia, Africa. I was 15 years old and I was a counselor of a group of ten 9-13 year old girls, each with their own struggles and pains taking toll on them. 2011 was a year in which I found myself and lost a part of me. I lost the part who thought it was all about me, the selfish and conceded part who only cared for myself. I lost her, and it was the best feeling to be able to open up and let myself become vulnerable and to truly put others ahead of me, especially the people and children of Zambia, Africa.

John 14:18 says, “I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to You.” Here you have plain and simple, Jesus promising that the orphans will not be abandoned. Jesus is not going to leave them, He will save them ultimately, but the bible also says in Matthew 28:19, “GO and make disciples of ALL NATIONS baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.” Which says to me, GO and save the orphans, and to be the hands and feet of Christ while we are on Earth. It says all over the Bible to save the orphans and to tend to them in their distress.

This has become my mission and my passion. Defend the orphan. Serve the Lord.
