Well, I've always heard that God talks to a lot of people while at NYC. So going into all the fundraisers and stuff, I thought that this was going to be my time to listen to God and hear what he has to say.

The week started and I didn't right off hear anything. I began to get a little upset at the thought of this. So I started to listen harder and harder. Finally, on Saturday night, the speaker told us to close our eyes and just let God speak to us.

Well, he did just that. It scared the mess out of me, but I have been getting better about dealing with it. As I closed my eyes, I saw me dancing with little children from Africa. I told my parents who were with me and immediately after we got home they began to plan a trip to Africa.

Most likely this Christmas we will be traveling to Africa to stay with Tim and Michelle Eby. We will be working in an orphanage and providing Christmas for the children there. Please keep as in your prayers as we fulfill this dream.
