Dreaming... with Noonday

Often when I think about daydreaming, I think of school aged kids not focused on what they are supposed to be doing. When I stop and think about how I dream or even daydream I have come to realize it's a part of who most people are and it makes me excited!

When I get an idea in my head, I think about ways I can use that idea for the good. If can be part of this ministry, or start something of my own, then I can give back to the people in Africa. Then I call Kyle or wait until Zola goes to bed and we dream. We talk about how things can work, what type of marketing we could, what "group" we could target. It comes up every so often, but we haven't done much with our dreams... yet. We know God will open doors when the time is right, and I'm thankful we can dream together. I love the thought of daydreaming now, because I realize it's one of God's ways of communicating with us.

Recently Kyle and I have been chatting about how we can partner or sponsor women in Africa. Like a mentoring program almost. We love to idea of opening up a way to communicate, and have a relationship. I was just invited to a trunk show for Noonday by a gal that I have been "following" since we started our adoption process. I was lucky enough to meet her a few months back, and she made me dream a lot about Noonday. Noonday is a ministry that partners with women all over the world who make beautiful jewelry to sustain their living expenses. I bought my first pair of earrings a few months ago and wear them All The Time, if you've seen me lately, I probably had them on. I actually ended up selling some of my old jewelry to make room for Noonday pieces, because I love them, and because I truly believe in this ministry. You can check them out here: Noonday

In this specific invitation, there was more than just an invite to see the beautiful artwork these women make. I found out that Noonday is offering an all expense paid trip to Rwanda for a woman who is on board with the ministry of Noonday and who has a heart for these women. They will get to meet the women in Rwanda who make beautiful pieces of jewelry. I have signed up, but all I need now is for you to vote for me to win this trip!

If you click on this link Noonday Vote! scroll to the bottom, and vote for me, I'd be so grateful. You can vote once a day.  If this is the door God has open for me, then I'm so excited. If not, it's a great way for you to learn more about this ministry and all they do. Maybe you can start to dream more too.
