“I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course. So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle. Do not correct me in anger, for I would die.”

Jeremiah 10:23-24


But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves are green, and they never stop producing fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8

Ubuntu House!



Last Monday was a School Holiday here in Cape Town, so three of us volunteers decided to take the opportunity to go to Ubuntu House on our own on Monday. It was so awesome!! It's a house where the family has turned their upstairs level into a safe place for newborn babies that have been given up for adoption to live until their adoptions go through. There were six babies there, which the workers said was an unusually small number, there have been as many as 16 there at a time!! We just assisted the workers by caring for the babies that were crying and feeding them. It was so fun to hold the babies! The baby I held they call "Mr President" because he always has a serious look on his face! I am proud to say I had him smiling several times! We took some pics, but the workers said we couldn't take pics of their faces for privacy reasons, only the backs of their heads. I would like to go there on a more regular basis, but need to work out a set schedule first!
