He Will Do This

Since this is Good Friday,  it seems like the absolutely best day ever  to tell a very powerful story of  something that happened just the other day. It’s so easy in the hubbub of Easter week-end to barely stop to remember who HE is, let alone what He did,  what He does and  just how powerful…

Around the Corner

Yesterday as Dw and I were talking about a current  situation we have been walking through, suddenly the Lord brought this story to mind. So I reminded that sweet man of mine about it  and in recounting the story again we both were greatly encouraged. It is so good to tell each other the stories…

One Missing Paper

The freshest of stories… and oh-so-wonderful to see God’s hand  up close and personal, always at work in our lives… Because although God never changes and His promises are the same yesterday, today and forever, somehow we so easily forget that part. But really, if He worked miracles 2,000 years ago… Why is it we…

“He Just Busy?”

A couple of months ago, as Nehemiah lay on the couch, terribly sick, I laid my hand on his forehead and began to pray with passion. He’d heard me praying off and on over the hours since he had first got sick, however, this time when I finished he weakly questioned, “Why God not do…

The Perfect Assignment

It was a beautiful time with the March 2014 GO Team here in Uganda. Some had been before on an earlier GO Team and couldn’t wait to get back to serve and joined this team. The team was coordinated only by the Lord with giftings in just what was needed to make Emma’s beautiful place …

Simple Can be Hard

This is where I am. Right now. God has been really stirring how to have exacting faith. I’ve always considered myself as a faith-filled woman… But I know myself…and every once in a while  overwhelming fear is  so close I can almost taste it. And I am just really grasping the extent of just what …

Near Our Home

Last week I wrote about our need to remember.   That I have to.  My family has to.   And that you must too. A few days after writing that post something happened that hit close to home, literally.   There was a shooting not far from where we live.   We were coming home…

Expectancy

I’m sitting here in a darkened hotel room on the other side of the ocean.  My body actually can’t decide if it’s supposed to be sleeping or awake and my brain seems to be equally confused!   Our flights were booked with an extra long layover so we found a hotel to sleep for a…

What We Do Have….

 When we were dating we talked about how many  kids we would want to have one day. I told him I wanted a “boatload”. He said he could see himself with maybe 4 or 5.  {I smiled and prayed a lot.} When we were first married we were hanging out at friends. As the four…
