Throughout life the Lord in His kindness brings such precious people across our paths. Not long after we moved to Phoenix we visited a church here in the valley. Ruby was tiny and needing to feed her I was led to a nursing mother’s room. It actually was like a party in the room! There…

All 1,512+ pieces made it!! Last Monday three sweet women and myself checked into the SkyHarbor airport loaded with four pediatric wheelchairs wrapped (by Dw – he’s my hero) in gently used cloth diapers, diaper inserts and shrink wrap. Hey when each item is allowed to weigh 50 pounds – we take that literally… so…

One Holy and Very Humbling Moment

Almost 18 years ago I found myself leaning against Emma and Liberty’s bedroom wall listening to Emma’s most sincere and innocent night time prayer. Her little voice prayed totally out of the blue, “Please let me be the one you pick to go to Africa to take care of the orphans…..” In fact I opened…

This personal story has been tumbling around in my heart for many years. I’ve probably delayed because of the tears I knew it would produce!!

As Dw prayed with me that day, asking the Lord to place divine connections in my path, I knew that he was on to something! This was going to be a trip like none other! My first flight went from Phoenix to Chicago with a three hour layover. I had not flown through Chicago in…

My Last Known Fear

As I had prayed about leading the GO Team I knew the Lord had whispered that I needed to head there early, ahead of the team. That sounded like a great idea, except for one thing. My heart squirmed as He whispered the “early” part. Because friends, I have faced many fears and…
