In the past month, a lot has happened not only in my personal life, but with Imani as well. I have found that this week, I am getting sick and having trouble breathing. I ask that you keep me in your prayers.
I live, breath, sleep missions and everyday my thoughts are consumed on how I can help out more. How I can spread the word about Imani better. When and where I can share my story and pray that people will join our vision. This happens everyday at every hour and I am overwhelmed with a compassionate heart. We have a small team with driven hearts and all we want to do is help, but it takes strategy, it takes a full-time team, and it takes patience.
Imani Tumaini Upendo plans to launch a scholarship program in Mombasa, Kenya in May 2012. I will be taking over a group of interns to help launch this program. We will be working with single and widowed women. We hope to teach them a trade and provide them a fair wage, in the end, hoping they can leave our program equipped with a trade they have developed.
A program like this, takes lots of preparation, lots of planning and again lots of patience. This is something that I struggle with everyday, because I want people to know what we are doing now and I want people to join our vision and be a part of an organization that over the years is going to change hundreds, if not thousands of lives.
Father God, I pray for patience. I pray for guidance and clarity for this program. I pray for good health and I lift my worries to you. I pray that in the midst of school, relationships and work, that Imani will get the care and attention it deserves. I pray that funding will come in your time and by your plan. I pray for our board and the creation of that. I give this all to you Lord.
I am overwhelmed Father and I pray that you can help me take a moment to breath. I love you and all I want to do is serve you wholeheartedly. I pray that you take my dependence away from the comforts of this world and I only look to you in all I do.
Thank you for being such a gracious Father and I am blessed to be your daughter.
Amen.
