As I read this today in my bible reading plan true nature of the human heart hit me like a ton of bricks. It is in our nature to want to self-elevate and make a name for ourselves.

I wanted to simply bring Changemaker women together who are living on mission and being the hands and feet of Jesus within their respective careers or fields. We spent one week in October 2019 in Cape Town, South Africa in a beautiful villa, experiencing all Cape Town has to offer.

Our #2019InvestingInDreams trip was truly transformational and spurred each storyteller into action. There were tears, laughter, encouragement and discussion on how we can share more of what the Lord is doing in Rwanda through HOPE International.

My mind keeps going back to one year ago today, the day I got the call. My mother was frantic and told me I needed to get to her house. My heart sank, I knew something was seriously wrong and I knew it was about my dad.
