Wanna’ Kind of GO to Africa with Us?

Oh my. This is so stinkin’ exciting…. Read on Girlfriends {and gentlemen}, read on…. So this past week-end one of my dearest friends{ever}, Celestia was over for dinner.  She lives in AZ with her husband.  Although Steve was working and unable to come, Celestia was here with Abigail {their youngest daughter}and Abby’s finance David.  David…

If God Told Me To, I Would

Not long after moving to our community {almost 7 years ago} I had opportunity to have breakfast with a woman {about my age} who serves with a ministry here in our town.  A couple of other times we have met and talked.  The last time we had breakfast together, the conversation turned to the orphan…

Distracted

Oh I am so distracted. Antsy. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I wanted to share something, but we were waiting because of circumstances.  We are still waiting.

Emma and I Are Lookin’ For:

a  group of crazy, fun lovin’ gals who want to make a difference in this life, who believe that orphans are the sweetest treasures of God, who think working at a feeding program in the slums  is truly being Jesus’ hands and feet, who aren’t afraid of loving till it hurts, who aren’t squeamish about…

Fourth Try

*sigh* This is my fourth post today.   Before you think you’ve missed the other three…. Hang on. I haven’t posted the first three.  They are sitting, waiting.  Just like me.  Sitting.  Waiting.  Wanting to share some news.  Trying to figure a way to share a little, without sharing too much.   {Which frankly, is…
