Secrets

While the team was here a few days ago, one of the woman had a very clear word.  It wasn’t necessarily something that would be considered a “normal” word.  Yet, it resonated in my heart in a huge way.  I knew God was whispering something.  It kept ringing in my ears…. Within days Almighty God…

One Stop Shop

Took a drive today with my girls for a bit of  special time alone together. Knowing that many of you have not had the privilege of seeing the beautiful culture, land and people here, I grabbed my camera and snapped  some fun pictures of things I could have bought  today while stuck in a traffic…

What’s One More?

What’s one more little brother when you already have three others? Yup. This little street guy has proclaimed  Liberty his big sis ‘forever’… they laugh and goof off just like she does with her other little brothers. He’s a complete doll, tenderhearted and gentle… but his life has had some cruel twists and living on the streets…

Cruel Reality

This morning we met up with some of  our precious street boys… we were dismayed to find they were barefoot. Two had put them  somewhere they thought would be safe,  but instead they were stolen. Another washed his sneakers off {it had rained and was so muddy} and put them in the sun to dry near…

Nehemiah Did It!

Dw called me the other day and asked if we could Skype. We had some of our Ugandan sons here for dinner, as well as, the team still here. I went into the other room to Skype… but Dw said,  “No!  Put the computer where everyone can hear.” So I took my laptop back to…

Completely Broken

After spending a large part of the week-end  crying off and on,  praying and thinking about some things  that have been transpiring here… I am going to attempt to articulate  what’s going on in the hearts of this team. Let me start at the beginning…. As most know our own  International Voice of the Orphan…

This Sunday I Am…

thanking the Lord for the privilege of  turning on my water faucet for a drink or for a shower or to do the dishes or to do laundry…. And I am also repenting for not realizing  I need to do it everyday… This trip my heart has been broken over and over… I don’t think…

Whew. That *was* Close

Moms are usually the ones with “eyes in the back  of their head” or so it’s said. No doubt, over and over the old saying  has been proven true in our home. But what happens when Mom is out of the country? Good Question. {haha} So the word coming to us over here in Africa is …

He Asked Us Just One Thing….

Personally speaking, today was, without a doubt,  one of my most favorite days in my entire life. I admit, I cried buckets of tears. Literally, my eyes had a steady stream flowing non-stop, as though someone had turned on a water spicket… such an honor and joy mixed with  incredible heartache.  I am still processing…

Back on the Home Front

I appreciate all of you who have been praying for things on the home front, as well as here,  while I have the privilege of spending time with some of the sweetest treasures on earth over here on the other side of  the world. Sincerely, thank you. Graham wrote me this morning and sent along…
