A life that is no longer mine. : Mosquito nets for my birthday

I turn 22 in 6 days, usually I would be excited. I would be counting down days like a child and probably listening to "22" by Taylor Swift on replay but I just took a look at my watch to check today's date.

I know that things will be a celebration of the day I was born. But instead of getting gifts this year I want to give gifts this year.

While in Uganda we worked with a ministry called Healing Faith, They are an incredible ministry with a heart after Jesus. They go into villages and teach about malaria, they hang mosquito nets and then they get to pray for each family. So this birthday I want to be a part of something bigger than myself. I want to raise money to buy mosquito nets. instead of giving a gift or gift card, I'm asking that you give money to save lives.

I learned so much by just watching them beam with joy just from what we consider a simple net. And to hear their hums of peace while we prayed for them was a highlight.

So regardless of if I get to hang the nets personally or if the next team going in does. I just want people to see their complete joy. Their joy is worth admiring. It's a tiny glimpse of Heaven, I think. I'd hang nets everyday if I knew that I could just see them jump for joy while we hang the mosquito net and pray for them. Thats the kind of joy that needs to spread like wildfire.

A mosquito net cost $6

A home needs 2 or more

My birthday goal: is to raise enough money for just 50 nets. That's a total of $300.00--
