daily God sends something...a check, an album (or 15) a call, an email, a text....something to remind me that this africa trip is ALL ABOUT HIM and ALL FOR HIS GLORY and that He's thought of EVERYTHING (go figure)! I love it!
There's a sense of anticipation and i'm not going to lie...i'm the fly by the seat of my pants kinda gal...i'm the one making it up as we go, and i work really well under pressure...so this is a little out of my gifting...planning i mean...making sure that we have our shots and that i get all the supplies organized and that a trip to ghana africa is not something you just hop on a plane and go do...you know?
so, we're going to start meeting every thursday night as a ghana group to pray, ask God to guide our thoughts and every step of this mission...to get to know each other deeply and to share our hearts and our thoughts and to love each other more so we can go love these children with everything in us!
Please pray for us...please pray for me, to have time to do the "real life" things I have to do too...(like take and edit pictures for my real job..lol)...its a little overwhelming and I just need peace and time management which don't come very easily to me most days.
Pray for these children, who God is preparing for us to meet, pray that we are instantly bonded to them in every way..and that they can feel and see in us the love of Jesus....
thank you....for everything that all of you have done to help make this mission trip possible and even more such a blessing for the girls involved.
loving my Father....thanking Him for knowing the future and knowing that He has planned in that future protection and His perfect will....all before we were even born....k

Abums albums albums....God is GOOD!
I would say I can't believe how many albums have been donated, but once again, I STAND AMAZED AT GOD and HIS BLESSINGS!!!
So many precious CM consultants have mailed albums from all over the U.S. to us, that we almost have enough to do faith albums with the 4th graders at the orphange too!!! Is God good or what! THANK YOU...to all of you who have sent supplies to bless these children and leave a legacy in their life of the LOVE OF THEIR HEAVENLY FATHER. :)
I will be taking pictures soon and then figure out how to post them so you can all see the albums and pages that have lined the floor of my gameroom! WOW!!!
There are no words...but THANK YOU...for your heart and your gift of an album for EVERY CHILD...and that's what CM is about.....

Why to I doubt God...
After ALL the miracles and all the blessings from God that I have not only seen with my own eyes, but have taken pictures of and have recorded in numerous albums so I never forget...why do I still doubt God...
It's not even that I doubt Him as much as it is I forget to TOTALLY TRUST and TOTALLY RELY on my Father. I know He must get frustrated with his child Kimberli.
AGAIN, and ALWAYS, He is providing!!! God laid on our hearts before we ever started planning our trip to Ghana to do faith albums with these precious children at the Village of Hope. We decided to do 7x7 because they are the perfect size and there were lots of albums left for us to purchase...well...Creative Memories sold out of these albums unexpectedly at the first of the year and I was, let's just say, VERY frustrated. :)
Creative Memories consultants came shinging through (as always) because their hearts are full of love and generosity! We sent out an email explaining that we desperately needed 75 more albums and in just one week, we have a big chunk of this goal already donated! Yes, God is GOOD and He always provides for His children....another God Moment for me to journal in my own faith album!
Thank you God and thank you CM Consultants for allowing God to use you to share a blessing with a child who may not meet you until we're all in heaven together...
