This week

I am so excited about a couple of things that are going on right now. First, this is the very first blog entry using my new Mac Book Pro. It is very exciting. Until now I have been a faithful PC user and all of the notebooks I have had have been HP. But, I decided to take the leap into the glorious world of Apple and so far, so good.

I also had a great time speaking at two events for the Baptist Women's Day of Prayer. I love talking to people about missions and the people group that I am called to minister to. I love that I got to talk about THE FREEDOM PROJECT and that the women were excited. So many people, many of these women included are unaware of the awful conditions that have plagued Sudan for so long. It is not on the news and if it not something you actively seek to learn more about, you can easily miss it. I fail to understand why it is not on the news every single night. Part of the reason I feel this way is the passion I have for this people group and what is happening to them, but the senseless murder rape of so many is news!!!

The women asked a lot of really good questions. They were touched by the trauma that these women have gone through. They even collected clothing that I will sending to an orphanage in the country we will eventually open The Freedom Center. I just loved talking to these women, answering their questions and knowing people are praying for The Freedom Project.

WHAT A WEEK. . . . and it is only Wednesday.
