God Never Wastes Even the Briefest Encounter….

I love when the Lord shows us His heart. When He whispers things out of nowhere. The other day Emma and I were walking with Junior back from our lawyer’s office. We were walking at a quick clip down one of the many hilled streets and out from a shop at our side came…

Wednesday in Kampala, Uganda

I sure miss you guys. And I really, really, really hate that I am unable to share specifics of our time here in Uganda. Suffice it to say that today was a hard day. I cried and cried, tears dripping away and it looks like I cried most of the day too. I miss…

Karl’s Heading Home Soon….

October 11, 2011 Linny Saunders20 Comments

With Karl’s imminent discharge, Vicki wondered if I would share what God has done and again ask for specific prayer for all the changes that are about to transpire as Karl transitions to home – Vicki loves you bloggy friends, just like I do – you guys are mighty prayer warriors and we cannot ever…

Life in Kampala, Uganda

Probably time to update on our lives here in Uganda. Let’s see: Little Miss R is back at the baby home. After they did her brain surgery they glued the incision shut. I know they use glue all over the world in medical procedures, but it did just kind of strike me funny. Can you…

The Autumn Ball

Graham and Savannah went to the Autumn Ball the other night. I had to show you how beautiful the picture was. This is the third annual Autumn Ball and sadly, the last {as their friend who hosts it at her home will be away at college next year}. Emma was so bummed to miss…

Glamorous Flowers Still Fade….

A flower outside the surgical ward where Little Miss R had her surgery last Monday in Uganda… I love flowers. I stop to take pictures of them whenever I am able. It doesn’t matter the size of them. I enjoy the teeny-tiny ones in their simple beauty as well as those created to bring enormous…

Share Some…

Yesterday morning I was writing a quick note to a FB friend. I was telling her what I feel the Lord has been impressing on my heart – with exact details. I finished up and moved to a note from a FB friend waiting in my inbox. Her letter began with how she had had…

I’ll Never Know How Much It Cost….

So much I want to say, sooo sad wisdom dictates otherwise. In the meantime…. This morning I was sitting having a cup of coffee where we are at. There was worship music in the background. Don’t know about you, but worship music does it every time, if I am near the verge of tears….

Lovin’ This Princess….

This sweet baby girl is precious beyond words. Today someone asked me our motivation for adopting her. I had one answer: She’s so easy to love. Precious. Snuggly. Smiles that thrill me! Created in the image of God. Coos that keep me going when I have to leave her to process paperwork. Brown eyes that…

Ministering Hands…

It is a wonderful blessing to have ministered so many years now in Uganda… because we have special friends in so many parts of it! Yesterday a pastor who has spent time with my sweet hubby came to the hospital {driving a distance} just to meet me and pray for our sweet baby girl. He…
