thus begins the search for something greater, a real love for herself as she was created.

May you find and take everything from the writings of a girl who is still searching.

ten days and counting

lend me some sugar. i am your neighbor.


Ten days until i leave Calgary for Tijuana. I am starting to get alot more nervous, anxious, excited, scared. After booking my flights and finding out how soon i am leaving, Mexico has become this crazy reality that kinda scares me.
Why would God call little ol' Bree to Tijuana ? Besides
the fact that i love children, im full of God's love, and the orphanage needs me, why me? why Bree? It scares me to think about how much i will be challenged and put to the test. I fly to Denver first, wait 2 hours there, then make it to San Diego around 12 30pm i believe. Prayers would be fantastic. I know that every where you turn, you hear, God will provide, God will provide,
he will. and he did. I have recieved amazing support from friends, family, and churches that i never really quite expected.
I think what scares me the most is that Calgary right now is comfortable. I have my mom, my dad and my sister, my best friends, church, life, everything ive ever known, and now i am travelling a zillion miles to a place that is very uncomfortable.
Last night i had a dream, it was about Mexico and i went
but everything was still comfortable. Another caregiver spoke english, i wasn't being challenged, there even were children there that i knew in Calgary. That is not what it is going to be like. These Children need love, need to be held, need to know what its like to have someone who loves them, and knows God. And im going to be that someone, even if only for a little while.
Ive been listening to this song, " Hey Ya" which was re done by Matt Weddle, and it says ( silly i know ) lend me some sugar , i am your neighbor. But i took it differently. We are their neighbors, what are we doing for them ? Technically they are like the next block over , but STILL. what are we doing for them? This is all that i can do. Is go, and love them, teach them about God's love, do crafts, wake up at 2 am to hold them, mourn with them, and rejoice with them.

What are we doing for them ?


Bree.
