For HIS glory!


Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in Me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from Me, you can do nothing.
~ John 15:5, NLT






Know you have nothing; no, I have nothing. Know you are nothing; no, I am nothing. Know you can do nothing; no, I can do nothing. Know you are not for yourself; no, I am not for myself. Know you are not for the world; no, I am not for this world.


Know you are His and His alone, for His purpose, His will, His pleasure, His desire, His work, His glory. Yes, I am His and His alone, for His purpose, His will, His pleasure, His desire, His work, His glory.


I may not know where the roads leads, but I know Who leads me.

Carrie FINALLY started a blog

I am finally starting a blog. Shocking, I know. I must be one of the biggest procrastinators ever. I'm working on that! There's not much to this first post--just a little introduction. This will be a place for anyone and everyone to see what I'm up to and to read my thoughts and happenings. Check in infrequently as that will be about how frequently I post! [Actually, I will try to post at least weekly. It just depends on what's going on and when and if I have electricity and internet service (once I'm overseas).]

It's quite late (or early for some of you), so I must go for now. I'll leave you with a big prayer request: Please pray that the Tanzanian government will quickly grant and issue my work visa and residency permit so I can get there already!

Because HE first loved us,
Carrie

P.S. "Mimi nakupenda, Afrika" means "I Love You, Africa" in Swahili.
