From The Gem with the Real Gems

A snippet from Africa!!

I flew under the radar and arrived at the Gem in the wee hours of morning.
The craziest most awesome Memorial Box story coming soon about the trip! Wow!! 
What a crazy miracle-working God we serve!!
Seriously, still giggling at how much God loves us and how He delights in causing all 
things to work together for good!!  He is just so faithful.
But here it is 2:31 am and although I’m still pretty jacked up, I think I better try to get 
some sleep…the day starts very early at 

Or of course maybe I should just pull an all-nighter so that I can sleep really, really, 
really good tomorrow night!
I did get to meet all the Gems and me-oh-my they are all precious beyond words.
This silver-haired chica is completely smittten!!  
Every one of the them is unique and words fail to describe how precious each one is!!  
I am overcome with joy at how remarkably wonderful each one is.  They have surely 
stolen my heart and I am Jaja to all of them.
One little guy, Caleb {who just had surgery} saw my silver head bling and grinning from
ear to ear reached up to feel it!! It made me giggle like crazy!
Then after running his hand through my hair for a few seconds, he reached up to his 
freshly shaved head and rubbed his head and silently giggled!  
My heart leapt!!
It is truly humbling to see the dreams placed in Emma’s heart as a little 6-1/2 year old girl finally come to pass.  
Perfectly astounding!
God is so faithful!!
