Being a Mama {again!}

I’ve been thinking about it these last few days….   The crazy ways God moves.   He does extraordinarily, out-of-the-box, ‘who’d have thunked  wonderful’ things every single day around the world! He sends us precious unexpected gifts  just because He loves us so much. He moves in random, unexpected ways and He seems most often…

Ministering Hands…

It is a wonderful blessing to have ministered  so many years now in Uganda… because we have special friends in so many parts of it! Yesterday a pastor who has spent time with my sweet hubby came to the hospital {driving a distance} just to meet me and pray for our sweet baby girl. He…
