There have been times in my life I have questioned God's existence. There have times I wished he was true, but felt like I couldn't believe. I couldn't believe because of the pain, I couldn't believe because of the unfairness...the people in my life that truly loved Him, I believed He treated unfairly. I was stuck. Deep down, I yearned for there to be a true God. But, I fought it. I fought it because I was scared of what it would require. What if it's true? That would be a hard pill to swallow and a life change I was not ready for. But why was it so scary? I grew up desiring the sincerity and love for God my M Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=facetoface-with-the-forgotten http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=facetoface-with-the-forgotten Lord, I thank you for this day.  I thank you for our time at the hospital.  I felt emotionally drained today...Lord, I pray that you would strengthen me.  Give me strength tomorrow.  My heart broke today.  I cannot believe people live like this.  They are so starved of affection and love.  It is so hard to see girls my age living like vegetables.  Lord....why?  Why do they have to live like this?  As I walk through the hospital halls...all I hear is your still-small voice asking, "Do you trust Me?"  Its a hard question to swallow.  Lord, for years I have prayed for my heart to break for the things that break Your heart....and here I am, face-to-face with it...and I am tempted to despair and doubt Your goodness.  I repent of this Lord...and I answer "yes" to Your question.  I trust You.  You are good and I love You.  You love these people...they are Your children and You have not forgotten them.

Many many many balloon dogs later...  all of the children were happy customers.   In other unused skill sets...

Nine months ago, I never would have thought that I was a judgemental person. I always considered myself pretty accepting...but deep down there were some deep judgments that I didn't even recognize as judgements, let alone a problem in me that needed to be dealt with. What God has shown me through a number of circumstances the past nine months...is that it is just as important not to judge Christians as it is important not to judge those who do not believe in Christ. I have always been very aware and careful not to judge those who do not know Christ...but what I never realized is how judgemental I was towards Christians and The Church. Looking back, I can see how my judgements have evolved. There was a time in college when I was on a "theology kick"...and I began to silently judge those Christians around me who had different theology. There have been times when I have Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=birthday-fun http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=birthday-fun   9am: It all started with a morning scare.by four birthday elves...Caitlin, Becky, Heather, and Sarah came charging in my homestead wearing these masks and delivering my first birthday present (a favorite cereal of mine) and a scavenger hunt for me to find all my Swedish Fish (my favorite candy) throughout the day. 10am: I went to church and was surprised to find out that every hour until 7pm, my team had a present for me to open. So, yes...even at church, I was opening presents! These presents throughout the day ranged from Winnie the Poo cutlery, q-tips, and gogglesto stickers, fun pens, and many other hilarious personalized gifts. After church, I was able to call my brother Joey who has the same birthdayI turned 24 and he turned 25. I was so thankful to be able to talk to him and sing happy birthday to him!

Our whole squad has been together at YWAM San Jose for this month. This is a first for our squad, and it has been really great so far. We have had the freedom to explore San Jose, seek out different ministry opportunities, and go out and do what the Lord is calling us to do. It has been really cool to see God guide us all in different ways, and still be able to live as a family serving Him together. Entering San Jose, my main desire was to immerse myself in the culturelearn Spanish, spend time with Costa Ricans, build relationships, enjoy Costa Rican cuisine, etc. The Lord has guided me and provided in so many ways! Last Sunday I was at a local church and met a woman, Jasmine, who offered me to live with her for the rest of my time in Costa Rica. Jasmine is a 28-year-old single mother of Tiffany, who is a one-year-old beautiful girl. I moved in with them and it has been such a blessing!

The kind of feeling I get when I am afraid to think about something, afraid to face something....afraid pain is coming. It's a familiar feeling...almost a comfortable feeling....it happens every now and then when pain creeps up. But this time...God reminded me that He offers me peace in every situation. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.... (Colossians 3:15) I stared at this verse this morning. I stared at it for so long that the words stopped looking like words....I began to dwell. I began to worry...I began to miss my Mom. Last week I looked at a calendar for the first time in a long time....and I realized my birthday falls on Mother's Day this year. Every couple years my birthday falls on this special holiday. Growing up, it was always such a fun weekend to celebrate my brother Joey's birthday, my birthday (yes, we have the same birthday...a year apart!), and Mother's Day.

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=an-inside-look http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=an-inside-look  We wanted to make a really special photo blog that would capture the really amazing, powerful, meaningful couple of weeks we experienced in Botswana. Seriously, it was amazing... but upon scanning our photos... it seems that it is more appropriate to do this photo blog. Here's a glimpse into another part of our world. Before we went to Botswana we spent some time in Pretoria and Johannesburg:   Normal Things: passing the time on a street corner, waiting for our ride   Multitasking: we cleaned our pores and practiced driming to share the love of Jesus all at the same time. Please note what a Holy experience Lindsey is having.   Several mornings in a row we practiced packing our bags and the car... only to unpack them and return to our cabins later in the morning. However, when the big day came we were ready... and we were on our way to Botswana.   Upon arriving in Botswana we were surprised to discover that we weren't living in the bush, but rather Wed, 16 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=fragrance-of-life http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=fragrance-of-life   Botswana is amazing.  It has by far been my favorite time in Africa.  God has made it clear that this is where He has wanted us all along.  Since we have been in Africa, we have had the freedom to hear from God and follow where He wants us as a team.  This has been a really amazing experience because it has allowed us to just trust Him and follow Him as a team.  I will never forget the way God closed and open doors to get us here.  There hasn't been a World Race team in Botswana yet, and God clearly has plans for the World Race and Botswana.  While we were at Alabanza (outside Pretoria), waiting to  make our next move (initially Lestotho, but God closed that door), God opened up a door in Botswana with a woman named Mama Elizabeth.  She lives in South Africa, but was willing to travel to Botswana to serve with us and her grandson who is a pastor here.  We were all excited and thankful to hear this news.  We traveled by Fri, 11 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=one-by-one http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=one-by-one One by one, I see them come...these monsters to be named. My friend Cody has a song called Monsters to be Named....it is a song that I listened to a lot around the time of deciding whether or not to go on the World Race.  Something in me knew the risk of going on the World Race was huge, but worth it.  Something in me knew it was going to take everything...cost me the things I hold so tightly.  The lyrics resonate in my heart as God continues to pull out these monsters from my closet, name them, and remove them from my life.  Looking back on the past seven months, I can't help but reflect upon all the Lord has done.  Our team is currently staying at a place called Alabanza, outside of Pretoria, South Africa before we head to Botswana.  During this time here, I had the pleasure of meeting a girl my age from Indiana.  Last night we talked and she shared with me about her experience as a first year missionary.  She shar Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=how-to-celebrate-easter-in-africa http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=how-to-celebrate-easter-in-africa Step 1.  Buy and transport cow to feed the whole village Step 2. grocery shop for the village and cook food for your sqaud Step 3. Put up tent for the third time this week Step 4.  Trudge to Church in the mud Step 5.  Worship the Risen King, Ordain a Pastor and Plant a Church!

Against all odds we've made it to Swaziland! It only took us 2 days in the car with no less than 15 rest stops 11 people rode in an 8 seater and all our luggage ... and half of our team sunburned... ... and a whole lot of fun! And we only went a little crazy! Due to technical difficuluties... picture of Sarah coming soon! Next we're heading to Kruger National Park to hang out with some wild animals. Then, it's onto Nsoco, Swaziland. Team Ignite was ministering there last month they have some amazing stories on their blogs. We'll be working with Pastor Gift at various care points which are sort of like community centers in different neighborhoods where people can come for food, basic healthcare, and school. Please cover our team in prayer as we travel and get settled into our new home.

It was an amazing time of getting to know people in the community and spending time at the school in the mornings. Halfway through our time there, a new teacher started at the Care Point. When I walked in that rainy morning, there was hope radiating from a woman I had never met. Nellie is 49 years old. A tall, beautiful African woman who dedicates her life to helping her country and serving her Father in Heaven. The moment I met her, I knew I had so much to learn from her. Although I only had a few days with her...she changed me. As we talked, I got a glimpse into the many challenges and heartaches of her life, and through it all she has a unique strength and joy I have never seen. Nellie has never been married, and has struggled with alchoholism over half of her life. She has a son and had a daughter, but lost her to cancer when she was 12 years old. Her daughter's name was Samantha, and as she talked abou Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=africa-photos http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=africa-photos Some Safari Pictures...   Some Care Point Pictures...

Sorry it's been so long since we've written. Internet was off limits during out time in China and it's taken us awhile to get back to this. Since we last wrote we've arrived in Africa, done training for a week in Swaziland and made our voyage into Mozambique.  Jackie and Lindsey also celebrated birthdays in January and February!  Here's our latest update and some pictures for you Ministry and Team Activities - CF   The past two weeks have been full of different ministry opportunities and times of learning and being filled up by God.  Last week we spent two days and two nights at the orphanage.  It was a great time of playing with the children, cooking, and at night having a time of songs, games, and a Bible story.  This week we spent three days teaching at a local church.  We each taught one or two lessons and the topics were things like  children's ministry, prayer, God's comfort, the Kingdom of Heave Tue, 26 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=stirring-up http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=stirring-up   There is something about Africa that brings me to my knees.  We spent about a week in Swaziland for debrief and teaching, and now I have been in Mozambique for the past two weeks.  We are staying with a wonderful missionary couple Jaco and Maria and their two children Rudo and Maggie.  We have been doing a variety of things since we arrived here; from staying at the orphanage, to showing the Jesus film, to teaching at a local church.  Jaco and Maria have been taking us through a Christian counseling class on prayer and healing.  It has been really good for each of us individually and as a team.  I don't know if it's Africa, or the place I am at with God right now, or the things I am being exposed toor all threebut there is something about this month that is challenging my faith like never before.  My view of God, my worldview, and my purpose for being here have all been challenged.  There are days I wish I were somewhere else, and there a Mon, 25 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=thankful http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=thankful   God is doing a beautiful thing in Team Less.  Six months ago, I never would have predicted God would have taken six strangersgrow us, stretch us, knit our hearts together, and use each of us to push each other towards Jesus.  We have so much more room for growth, but as I look back on the past six monthsI am truly amazed by what He has done.  He has used this team to reveal to me my strengths, my weaknesses, my quirks, my pet peeves, my personality, my deep need for FUN J, my hurts, my grudges, my giftsthe list goes on. Every morning when we wake up and pray together, I know that no matter what happens during the day, that I have a team of five amazing people who love God, love me, and will be with me at the close of the day.  That's community. Thank you, Lord.  Thank you for Lindsey and her compassionate heart.  Thank you for Jackie, for the joy you have given her and the way it radiates from her.  Thank you for Sarah and the way she reache Mon, 25 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=letting-go http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=letting-go Here I am in Africa...still soaking in all the amazing things God did in China.  I am still learning and growing from China, and as I sit here in the internet cafe in Swaziland, Africa, I wonder if I am ready for these upcoming months here.  Even as I type out that thought, I am reminded that I haven't been ready for any of this for the past six months, but God is faithful.  My lack of "readiness", my fears, my hesitations, culture shock, etc....have all been used by God to blow me away and show me how powerful and strong He is. In my weakness, He is strong. I am reminded of certain times in life I have felt unready.  The first day of high school, dating, moving into the dorms my freshman year of college, teaching high school students...the list goes on.  I am realizing that life happens, life moves on, and weather I am "ready" or not, God knows what He is doing and I just need to move with Him.  It all comes down to this little word trust.&nbs Fri, 1 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=trusting-differently http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=trusting-differently I often like to look back in my prayer journal and read different things I prayed for or talked to God about and see what has happened since then.  I was looking back to some prayers I wrote last spring, and I was in awe at all the ways the Lord has not only answered my prayers, but has done more than I could ever ask for or imagine.  He is so good.  All over my journal, before I even decided to go on the World Race, I prayed "Lord, I want to trust you completely.  I want to trust in You differently."  Throughout my years walking with God, I have often feel like I am not trusting Him completely.  I have always wanted to come to a point where I am trusting Him with everything; trusting Him with my life, my future, my family, my relationships, the way I view myself, my conversations, my thoughts, my concerns, my pasteverything.  There are so many times I wrote in my journal "Lord, take it allI don't want to hold onto it anymore."And He is.The months lea Wed, 23 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=new-sisters http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=new-sisters It was a cold Friday night in our location in China, and we had the option of going to an "English Corner" at the local university.  All day I felt a tug on my heart to attend the English corner, and as the evening progressed there was a battle going on in my mind about it.which made me feel like God wanted me to go even more.All we knew about the English corner was that it was an opportunity to talk with Chinese students, make friends, and help them practice their English.  Sarah, Danny, and I left for the English corner and as we rode in the taxi to the university, I prayed for the conversations.  I prayed for God to work, for opportunities to share about His love, and for a new friend or two to hang out with during my stay in our location.Here is an example of God not only answering prayer, but working in ways that I could never imagine or ask for.As we walked around the university, we kept looking for a building with a bunch of students.  Little did we know, the Wed, 23 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=team-update http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=team-update Ministry/ Team Activities Hey everyone!! Greetings from Manila. Lets seeas a team we were pretty busy this last week. Colleen and Jackie have continued doing an awesome job teaching down at the school. They have been working hard with Lindsey and some other volunteers trying to get ready for the upcoming x-mas program. Sarah has spent a lot of time working up at the Children's Home playing with and loving on the kids there. We have also still been taking some of the kids from the Children's Home swimming on Tuesday and Thursday. As a team, we got the chance to make dinner for the Long family and some of the other volunteers that we work with. Danny and Kyle have been working hard on the septic project and are close to finishing up. As a team, we were able to purchase 2 goats, Billy and Shakira, for Sherwin's family thanks to some amazing people that donated money to us on http://www.becomeless.com/.  Last Sunday Lindsey and Sarah accompanied Jackie on a cross town a Wed, 19 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=at-a-loss-for-words http://colleenfoley.theworldrace.org/?filename=at-a-loss-for-words I wanted to write a blog tonight, but I am truly speechless.  I am so in love with this place, with the Lord, and with what the He is doing. Thank you, Lord...I will never be the same.         Turn your eyes upon Jesus; Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace.   Wed, 19 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT
