I recently visited America for 6
weeks during the Thanksgiving holiday. I
got the chance to get together with many of my dear friends and family. It was truly a blessing from the Lord! You all hold a place in my heart and have
touched my life in so many ways; before and after this adventure began in the
Philippines. So I have to say thank you
from the bottom of my heart. I had such
a great time being home!! The dinners, parties, talks, gifts, and blessings
will not be forgotten. Carmela enjoyed
it too, despite the cold weather and car seat rides. Heehee.
My mother and sister experienced this with us first hand. This trip was what I needed and came at the
perfect time. God is good!!
That being said, some of you know I
kept mentioning how nice it was to be in our culture for a short time. With the hot showers, the washing machine and
dryer, the carpet and wood floors, the nice kitchens, cars; wow. It really is just a different life here in
the PI. Some things we think of as
normal in America don’t exist over here or in other cultures. Or if they do exist it is very rare. While enjoying these luxuries I began to
remember a few faces of some children back in the Philippines. I remembered how they actually use their
backyard as their restroom. The parents
come to my mother in laws’ sometimes to use their restroom, but the children
always go outside. I thought wow, what
if that was me? What if I was a girl
growing up and didn’t have a place to go to take care of girl things? God said to me “let’s build them a bathroom.” That sounded good to me. Something so simple that we take for
granted. It was a basic need that could
be met. So, as some of you know, I
posted about it on instagram and quickly a friend of mine from the Young
Americans (a performing arts group I was involved in) responded and reposted. Then she also posted on facebook. How exciting!
It was so sweet to my heart to see people coming along side and wanting
to help. To see hearts that also break
for others the way mine has. A few
people began to donate, and the goal was eventually met! Thanks to you all, this family will be
blessed for a lifetime. Love spread
overseas. I’m so grateful for your
kindness. Here are a few pictures to
document the process.
An added side note to this is – the
devil is on the move. It says in 1 Peter
5:8, Be self-controlled, be watchful; because your adversary the devil walks
about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. * I mention this because at the time everyone
was donating I experienced yet another demonic dream. This makes 5.
They are real and frightening. I
believe God allows me to have them to warn others that this is not a joke. There is a war being waged for your
souls. It is a war that we cannot
see. In this dream the devil had his
demons using people I know as puppets. I
was screaming at one demon to get out of my friend. In Jesus name, I said, GET OUT!! No joke.
You may think it sounds crazy, but I promised the Lord I would share
this, because it is so very important.
We have this time on earth to choose Jesus or not. I pray that all of you would know him and
accept his gift of salvation. He loves
us so much; he gave up everything for us.
John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son,
that whoever believes in him, will not perish, but have everlasting life.”
If you would like to help support us
in any way- we will now be receiving donations through paypal. If you go to paypal.com you can set up an
account with your bank and email.
My
email is kayliejane12@yahoo.comIf
you are considering to do more than a one-time donation; there is a monthly
sign up as well. Things we need
continued support for are- Feeding a group of children 4 times a month ($40),
Kids hour monthly ($25), Electric monthly bill ($40), food donations to
families monthly ($30), Visa payment every two months ($75), baby items such as
diapers or wipes monthly($30). Thank
you again for taking the time to read about my journey here in the
Philippines! All glory goes to God, whom
I could never, ever do this without. He
is my father, friend, guide, Saviour, and King!
Love, Jane
