Feeling Pampered

Linny Saunders11 Comments

There’s a wee little miracle-girl laying beside me squealing, giggling, kicking, “talking” and gently rubbing my leg…{and she’s been doing it since somewhere around 1:45 am}.  Jet lag has had me up as well…and so I’ve been awake since 1:15am.   Clearly little Miss Ruby is happy her mommy is home and her mommy is…

One Little Street Boy

I wrote a post about a street boy and posted it to the   International Voice of the Orphan blog, but I would be remiss not to mention it here. The story of one boy, a team of people from different ministries, all working together to minister to one precious little boy. You can find…

The Streets

She said she was ten years old.   With strained difficulty she had tried to get to where we were handing out food. As she struggled to walk,  Emma looked toward the young girl’s foot, no wonder she was hobbling – her foot was completely mangled. In fact it was hard to recognize that it…

As with each team we bring to Uganda, we spend time at different types of ministries to  expose each team member to different types of ministry here in Uganda.

The GO team has had the privilege of staying at Emma’s  new home which she rented alone recently… it’s beautiful and huge and amazing and no doubt, God is getting things ready for the ministry He has…

We have arrived –  the flights were awesome. It was beyond wonderful to hug our girl. Emmy kept starting to cry she was so grateful  that we were finally here. The team is a group of precious ladies… seven plus me and Emma… The team has bonded tightly together and they all have  such pure…

Did Ya’ Ever?

Did ya’ ever ponder going to Africa to serve the orphans? Did you ever hear of others going and long to go as well? Did you ever wonder when it was going to be your turn to go? Did you ever dream of meeting up with some like-minded folks to snuggle and care for little…

And so it was that yesterday was the official ‘send-off’ for our family – Emma moving to Africa {permanently}. I’ve heard it said that Americans {and probably most of the world} don’t really like to allow time to properly grieve. No doubt, grieving, in any form, can often make people quite uncomfortable.
