"Let all that you do be done in love" ~1 Corinthians 16:14
This verse has been so important to me lately. I feel like in a way it is preparing me for my trip to Ghana. I'm super excited to be traveling to Ghana and to experience a new culture and go on an adventure. But I often have to remind myself that the main reason I am going to Ghana is to provide medical care and to love the people there. When I travel to Ghana I want everything I do there to be done in love. Even if it's something as simple as paper work or sweeping the floor; I want to be able to do it with a servant heart and with love. The more I think about going to Ghana and the opportunity to show the people there love, the more I am reminded about how I can love the people around me everyday too. It is so easy to think that people in third world countries so desperately need to be loved, but people in America need love too. I am slowly learning what it looks like to show love to the people around me. Love can come in the form of patience or even just a friendly hello. Showing people that I care about them and that they are important is something I'm striving to do on a daily basis. Fundraising Update: We are still fundraising, but our main task lately is to gather medications. This task can be difficult and we are working hard to get the needed medicine. The companies we are asking are very understanding, but it is not a simple process to acquire donated medications. Hopefully, by May, we will be able to get all our medications for the trip donated. Also I am still selling headbands to raise money for the trip, if anyone is interested! They are only $5 https://www.etsy.com/shop/WanderMission?ref=search_shop_redirect
