A Cow for AFRICA !

Have to share when you know ~ God knows their needs !

I have said time and time again :  ” Africa is not mine ”
Again, this is evidence that AFRICA belongs to God alone :

Rock had a stent put in March 16th…..
I moved to a different chair in the waiting room to get out from under cold air.
The phone rang, it was Benson to pray with me for Rock….
and pray HE DID…reading passage after passage,  ” no Mum, let us pray……”
I usually talk louder than I do because of the connection …( louder ?  I know ) smile.
Upon returning, I apologized to the volunteer at the desk for talking so loud….

Her name is ~  Louise……
She is a dear dear lady, kind , sweet, nice….( you know, the kind I  wished I was )  smile.
We talked and talked, she asked a question…I would answer two….smile.

She went out of her way to make sure I knew what was going on with Rock , all the way through
She would find Dr. Anike afterwards, to hook up the consultation, etc…..
Upon leaving we hugged and I thanked her for her deep care….it was just a ” connection”

Saturday, I received a phone call from Vickie Hawkins ” who bugs you more than me ?”
( she always says that, but I never think that, a welcomed call for sure )

Do you remember a volunteer when Rock was in the hospital ?
She asked Neal Whitney if he knew how to get a hold of you….
He gave her my number…” are you friends with her ?”
Vickie said yes…..and she gave Vickie her number to give to me….
I called Louise that night.

” Janelle, I went home and told my husband…..I want to buy a cow”
” As we were talking, I knew I wanted to do something”……
” I want to buy a cow”……………..

Amazed …..

You see when Benson and Dorcas moved to the 5 acres, we left the cow
with the orphans….so Benson and Dorcas have no cow.

Now,  the name we give our cows ?   BARAKA………………..
it means :  BLESSING

….but it truly is – –  a BLESSING

What is your need ~ in your life…that you have not asked for…
or maybe even THOT OF ?
yet,  GOD KNOWS…..

a cow they do not have…
a volunteer –  Louise, in Lima, O – H – I – O…..
for the people in L-I -Y-A-V-O , Kenya !

He feeds the birds….
He knows the hairs on our heads……
HE IS GOD……God of HIS universe
God of HIS children….

Amazing, not a word was said…and she knew in her soul…
by the HOLY SPIRIT…what they needed and the need was met.

So will yours !

Baraka !
