A New Life

Posted by Tom Garnett, Delegate

Before I came with the Kids Connection delegation to Kazakhstan, I was searching my heart and mind trying to understand why I felt a “tugging” on my heart to go on this trip.  Yes, I knew in my heart I wanted to see little Anna face to face.  We have sponsored her for two years.  What I have realized since being here is that there was something else I could not identify.  What I now realize is that I have received a newness in life that has caused me to want to grow beyond the material world.  I do not yet know what this new life will be like, but I look forward to seeing where it takes me.  One of the highlights so far on this trip was seeing the love flowing from the faces of “our children” at Saramoldaeva.
