Day 347

 This month will be full of countdowns. And I hope that as we count down to the end of this project the total donations for these beautiful children will only count up. I hope giving, loving, and new & old friends of the LBD Project will take a step of faith and share some love with these children that deserve it. RHO & I would appreciate any donations little to big that you have to give. After all, this season is about giving, even if it's only a dollar.

Day 340-342

This season is all about

<GIVING>.

Oh please tell me you love to give too.

Day 339

I don't know if you've ever stood in a place looking down at a child that had nothing to give you but a hug.

I have. It was sad, but it was also my favourite thing in the world. Every time i went to the village, and children huddled around me, our joy wasn't touchable. I didn't come with gifts or toys or playthings, i came with me. And they were okay with that. And every Sunday evening i would learn and re-learn this standing in the village streets with the children.
They gave me their hand, I taught them a song. They taught me a game, i taught them one. When they laughed, i would laugh. And when they would sit on the side of the dirt road, i would tell them a story.
And it was in the village i realized that giving was so much more then handing someone a tangible item that would eventually break or get old.

I realized that these children that have much less put together than i'll probably ever have in my entire life, gave me more than i ever needed.
I realized that i love giving & i want to give gifts that can make a child's face fill with joy.
I want give them something that can teach them, show them i love them, & help them grow.

We gave what we had at that moment, and it was always enough.

Day 337

I have been around a lot of love lately. Thankfulness and love and I cannot help but be more grateful every moment that passes by. If you have been a part of that, a part of saying "i love you" by praying or giving or in some other capacity, you should know i am so happy you have chosen to take part in this project.

It's yet to be over though. We have 27 more days until we complete this project. And now, more than ever, these children need your love. So whether it be a small prayer and few dollars or an encouraging comment, every little or BIG gesture is appreciated by RHO and I.

Day 336

Every time I slip my 'little dress' over my head, i get an overwhelming peace in my heart. I'm reminded of the children & wonder what they are all doing at that very moment. And i love this feeling, these thoughts, the "maybe they're running around Jinja barefoot" or "singing to Jesus" right now.

One of my dreams is to go to Africa. For my day to be their day and my night their night. That way, we'll always know what each other are doing, and we can do it together.

I'm looking forward to the day I can love them in person. But for now, won't you love them with me?

I hope you will Pray.
& Give.
& pray some more.
Because today, that is my dream come true.

Day 335

Happy belated last month of the project! I apologize for the silence the past few days as i've been settling back into home after my long adventure away. Thank you all for the patience and continued prayer for the children in Uganda.

We have reached a total of $2200.36

We've started at 0 and I am so grateful for every generous donation given to help these children the past 11 months. I am so happy for the old friends and new friends that have helped make this little project come true, even if we are far from our original goal. 2k is a dream come true for them(& me)!

My prayer is that December would bring new love and hearts of giving to this project and RHO. Let this be our best month of the year, full of prayers for the little ones across the sea & gifts that just might change someones life. (even if it's just from your change purse) These are some pretty precious children in uganda.

Welcome December!
