I am offering my life to God as a full time missionary , I want to do the work that He has called me to do. I am trusting Him to meet my needs as I make myself available to Him. I will be working with FTO. There many taskss that have to bedone so that sponsorships can take place, others can continue to travel to Ghana and Togo to minister Jesus to orphans and adults, medical care can be given, new buildings can be built to house slave children who are being set free from the bondage of slavery, school lunches can be provided to children who otherwise might not eat during the day, single mothers can afford to care for their children and so many other things have to be done by someone. I want to be one of those people along with the O'leary family who are willing to spend their time and effort doing the behind the scene work. It is not as glamorous as traveling to foreign countries and raising support is much more difficult because people are not aware of just how much time and effort it takes to keep this organization running. I believe in FTO and their vision. They do not take a percentage, as most non-profit organization do, but give 100% to the designated project. Therefore, along with the O'leary family I will be raising my own support so that I can help FTO continue to do the awesome work that it has been doing. I am believing God will continue to bless FEEDING THE ORPHANS as the O'leary family and and the people God is calling to come along side them work for His Kingdom.

God has blessed me with a wonderful family; 3 daughters, 3 son-in-laws, and 10 beautiful grandchildren. Two will be arriving very soon as they are being adopted. I am moving to Ghana Africa to work with children at an orphanage there. I am very grateful for the support I have from my family to do what God has placed on my heart to do. I am so excited to see what God is going to do in Ghana!
Now that I've sold much of what I own and packed the rest it is really sinking in that I am moving. I will miss my grandchildren more than I am able to express. It's not hard to have grandchildren over every weekend when you have as many as I do. They come in shifts and it blesses me to hear, "Mamaw when can we spend the night again" before it is even time for them to leave. I love having them here as much as they love being here. I know this is a mamaw thing; everything they do is so cute! Well, almost everything. Sitting at the kitchen table we had a discussion about children who can't live with their parents or don't have parents and how they need someone to show them how much they are loved. How would they feel about mamaw going and helping those children for a while. They are willing to share their mamaw. I know they don't fully understand how long 9 months really is and how much we are going to miss each other, but when I get home we are going to have one huge pajama party!
