Flip-Flop

Well, I have hit the ground running in The Gambia and although it is super busy it is wonderful to be back. My time has been full with re-connecting with my team and my Gambian friends, unpacking everything that was stored for the last year, troubleshooting my solar refrigerator and freezer (still not fixed properly),Continue reading “Flip-Flop”

The Little Things

This picture reminds that God cares even about the little things. If you have been following me for even a short while you probably know I love coffee. To be specific, I love steaming hot, strong, black coffee. Therefore, a good insulated travel mug is a necessity. This mug has served me very well andContinue reading “The Little Things”

Divine Appointments

God is always trying to get our attention and working behind the scenes in many ways that we don’t see. One of the privileges of living in The Gambia is that because of my weakness and complete inability I see God move in amazing ways. I have been at my home in the village lessContinue reading “Divine Appointments”

Welcome to The Gambia

I have safely arrived in The Gambia and am settled into our guesthouse in the city to get some rest and stock up on some groceries before returning to my home in the village next week. It was a long trip, but God worked out all of the details in His perfect timing. Thank youContinue reading “Welcome to The Gambia”

Communication

Last month there was a large and devastating windstorm in our village causing damage to many properties, injuries and deaths. Please prayContinue reading “Communication”

I don’t know who invented plastic storage bins, but they are a missionaries best friend! I have bins in storage at my home in The Gambia, in storage here in North Carolina, in my car and right now I am pretty much living out of bins. Anyone else have a spreadsheet for where their clothingContinue reading “Packing”

Weird Missionary Conversations

Several times while enjoying my time in the US myself or others around me have been struck by some of the weird, unique, different, surprising things that missionaries say. One of the first critical lessons to learn on the mission field is to laugh at yourself and roll with it when others laugh at you.Continue reading “Weird Missionary Conversations”

“Critical Error”

Anyone else cringe when they see something like that come up on their computer screen!!! Yep, last week I was hit with a “critical error” on my computer and what I had thought would be a quick and easy fix did not end up that way. As I went through the stress of not havingContinue reading ““Critical Error””

Drop Offs and Pop ins

As many of you know I have had the tremendous blessing of living in missionary housing at my church during my time in the US. Having a safe, comfortable, beautiful place to call my temporary home while on furlough has been amazing. One of the added benefits is that my church family knows exactly whereContinue reading “Drop Offs and Pop ins”
