God's Goodness

God is so good!! The children sing the song God is so good during devotions all the time, and I cannot help but see God's goodness all around me here at the Village of Hope. My heart is so full...full of joy...full of peace...full of love...and overflowing with contentment. Each new day brings new blessings with the children and opportunities to pour out the love the Lord has filled my heart with for each precious child. The moment I stepped off the bus nearly 3 weeks ago and saw the children, I was overwhelmed with joy, so much so I could not help but shed tears of joy. My heart is finally home! My life over the past 3 weeks has been full...full of laughter...full of play...full of children wanting my constant attention...full of hugs...full of praise to the Lord...full of new faces...full of God's goodness all around me. I had been waiting nearly a year to be reunited with all the children here and have felt a constant ache and longing in my hear that has finally ceased. I am right where I am suppose to be...in the center of God's will loving His children in Ghana!!! I cannot think of any other place I would rather be right now than here. By the grace of God, I am feeling well and strengthened to do the work He has called me to do. I am here to serve the Lord with the strength He has provided me and love with the love He has filled my heart with.
