This month has been an immense blessing to me. It's hard for me to explain how much God has taught me since coming to Tanzania. I left Malawi knowing that Tanzania was going to change my life.
When we got to Moshi we learned that a World Race team would be joining us. We prayed for them. While we were praying I could feel God telling me that this month He was going to bless this team through me. I thought that sounded ridiculous… God I'm living out of a backpack that weighs less than 50lbs, and I have nearly no money. What can I bless them with.

Our first day of ministry with the other team we were walking door to door and I heard Sam talking about after Tanzania they would be going to northeast Europe and how she had no warm clothes. After we got home that night, I gave her my sweatpants, sweatshirt, hoodie, and a pair of leggings. As well as giving two pair of leggings to another girl on their team.
And again, yesterday, I heard Courtney talking about how she didn't have the money to go climb to the first base camp on Mt. Kilimanjaro. Without even doubting for a minute I told her I could get her the money, even though I didn't know exactly where it was coming from yet; God just told me to say it. She was so happy. She had just told her team that God had told her not to ask for money for it and if it was in His plan for her to go He would provide.
These beautiful women of God put their trust completely in Him, and He used me to answer their prayers. Exactly what He told me would happen… This morning when I was thinking about these things God talked to me again. He told me that now that He has my attention, He would begin to reveal bigger plans than I could ever imagine on my own.
He definitely has my attention.
