On Tuesday I went to see the girls. I had not seen them in almost three weeks, due to my trip to Israel. When I pulled up, most of them were waiting for me and chanting "Aunty Erin, Aunty Erin" and tackled me as a I got out of the truck. I was told later that one of them even cried, she was so happy I am back. Crazy, huh, I mean, I am here to bless them and BAM they bless my socks off with their welcome!



Before I went to Israel, I met with them and encouraged them to look for a girl at school who needs a friend. On Tuesday, Kyauta runs up to me, holding a tattered letter. 'Aunty, this is from my friend.' Kyauta had befriended this girl, Veronica, and now they are friends! The tattered shape of the letter told me that this is a treasured possession for Kyauta. Three other girls alsoshowed me notes from their friends. :)

Faith, the cutie on the left of this pic, has a Muslim friend at school. At five years old, God can and will use the faith of a child!

Promise - Israel pics are coming!

Love from Israel

Tonight is my last night in Israel. It has been quite a ride in this Holy Land. God has rocked my world and taken me to a deeper understanding of His covenant love for me. I am just beginning to grasp how much He desperately loves me and passionately and jealously desires ALL of me. Every last dirty bit.

Selah.

I am excited to get back to my kids in Nigeria and pour out His love that He has poured into me.

More to come....

Shalom.
