heart to heart, Africa.

      Its time to have a little heart to heart, my deepest thoughts about africa, some of you know them, some think you do. The truth is, Africa some how, some way stole my heart in the middle of the night.  this time last year, I wouldnt have ever dreamnt of going to africa, I never would have thought I would be volunteering at a non-pofit organization. I never thought, I would cry for someone I didnt know.  In the past year I have seen and felt my heart change so much, I accepted God into my life last year, and a few months ago I found myself falling in love with Africa. Shortly after that I began to find my heart breaking for those in need. I began to be thankful for what I have in my life. I know that Africa will be forever with my heart. this time last year I was certian I was going to be a cosmotologist. Now I have no idea what I’m going to be, I know that I want to spend my life, atleast the next few years of my life serving those in need. whether its by traveling to some exotic place like Africa or simply giving a homeless person down town a sandwich. I especially want to help kids, to see there beautiful faces with a huge smile on them, it warms my heart. I feel I have been called to help the hurting of the world, my heart breaks when others breaks. I long to bring hope to those who have none.
