Miss Emma Joy

Yesterday I did a post about Mr. Nehemiah and today I’ve decided is Miss Emma’s day. There are so many emotions floating around this silver-haired mama’s heart as the days tick closer to early January. So many changes underway….including circumstances that I cannot quite share yet…and some that I just haven’t been able to bring…

Washed Away

As I was having my morning Confiding Time and praying for all those whose homes, businesses and cities were ravished by Hurricane Sandy, the Lord reminded me of another horrific storm.  He also reminded me that I never told you, my sweet bloggy friends, about that storm. It was April 2011 that Emma and I…

I’m Guessing….

I’m guessing that many of you were kind of disappointed by the post yesterday {Part 3}. In today’s society, sweet friends, we want the answer and we want it quick.  And often, we find ourselves wanting to get that answer from someone else. I know. I’ve done it before.   Way too many times. “Someone…

They Are On Their Way….

I was able to drop them off at Phoenix Sky Harbor. So sweet to now live near a major international airport! If you sent a backpack, guess which piece of luggage it might be in? Or how about a snack bag?  There is just about 500 lbs of goodies on that cart {alone}headin’ toward Uganda….

Scoot On Over…

I mentioned a few days ago that Emma would be posting an idea for folks to do with their kids for the orphans in Uganda.   Due to technical difficulties, she was unable to do the post until today {please forgive}. Here’s the link for those interested:  Project Snack Bag

Here They Come!

Dw’s arms have been loaded as he arrives home with the International Voice of the Orphan mail each night now. They’re arriving and we are so tickled!  The generosity of you guys for the orphans and vulnerable street children of Uganda is overwhelming! Check it out: It’s not too late to get in on the…

The Streets

I really want to share some Africa stories over  the next few weeks.   Stories from when I was there with Emmy  to bring Ruby home, stories from the team  Emma and I led this past April 2011 and  stories from the GO Team  February 2012 trip.     I think it is often hard…

Why? Better yet: “Why Not?”

A post intended to answer the often heard question: “WHY?” “Why GO?” or   “Wouldn’t people be better off sending the money  that would have spent on the mission’s trip to the people  in the Third World country?” So let’s take a look at why we have GOne.   Why we ask others to team up…

From Africa…

Emma wrote a simple, but very beautiful post  {with pictures} from Africa. You can read it by clicking here. ******* Dw also wrote an extremely  powerful post from Africa. It’s entitled: Hungry.   Click here to read it. Challenging, thought provoking and sobering. Certainly something to think about! ******** Also, Emmy is developing her photography…
