I'M BACK

I know it has been forever since I have blogged and honestly I missed it. This pretty much sums up what I have been up too these last couple of months and what I'm praying will come to be.

Dear Family and Friends,
“For I know the plans I have for you,” (Jeremiah 29:11) declares the Lord. What would life be like if I didn’t give one-hundred percent of my life to God’s calling? God is calling, love is calling and I’ve decided to radically live my life for God. As most of you know, in January 2010, I made a one year commitment to volunteer with indigenous children through an education program in the country of Guatemala. There are many occasions that have brought me great happiness, but none as signi cant as when I lived in Guatemala. Every day I spent with the children was a blessing: through them God taught me about love, heartbreak, struggle, compassion, forgiveness
and what life is REALLY ABOUT! Even though my project in Guatemala has ended, my journey is just beginning. As 2010 came to an end, I looked to God for guidance and His next “plan” for my life. I am yearning to be the person He called me to be. His plan for my life is nally becoming a reality! I have decided to continue a life in
the mission field and started a non profit ministry called Sowing Seeds of Love (SSOL). Many of you may be wondering why I choose to start Sowing Seeds of Love in Panama, The answer, Pat Maines. We met at 2:00AM in the Panama City airport and from there God opened the doors and everything started unfolding.

The Focus of God’s Ministry (Sowing Seeds of Love):

• Phase 1: Building relationships, Listening, Learning and discovering the needs in the local community of Boquete, Panama.

• Phase 2: Create an interactive ministry for children, through sharing Jesus’ love, providing supplemental education, sports and creative activities.

• Phase 3: Encouraging Individual Empowerment.

God knew a lifetime ago that I would be boarding a plane to Boquete, Panama on July 23 to make His dream my reality. I am experiencing different emotions as my time comes closer but ultimately I am overwhelmed with joy and excitement for what the future holds. I am writing this heartfelt letter for a number of reasons. First, please keep me in your prayers as I take my second leap of faith. God can only answer prayers that are prayed!I believe that through trust and prayer, His project will succeed and change people’s lives. Secondly,I am solely responsible for funding this ministry. Since returning to the States, I have been working non-stop in hopes of raising money for this non-profit ministry. Financially, I cannot do this on my own. Any contribution amount will be truly appreciated. All contributions are tax deductible and will be used to help build Sowing Seeds of Love.

I am thankful for my Board of Directors (James Parry, Kim Register, Kaitlin Brennan, Pat Maines, Hoyt Byrum and Diane Byrum). Thank you from all of us for your prayers and for considering a contribution to SSOL. God gives us the gift of trust, and every day I thank Him for that. I know I must trust Him and ultimately His plan will prevail.

Peace, Love and Panama,
Lindsey
