If you know me at all, you know that construction and I are NOT a good combination! The good news is that I am not the one that is actually pounding the nails, sawing the boards, screwing the screws, welding the iron, mixing the cement, or mortaring the bricks.

Solid Foundations
This week a friend and her family have found themselves in seemingly impossible circumstances that would shake even the strongest of us and she is strong! She is grieving and hurting, but she is also trusting and standing on her sure foundation in Christ. As I have been praying for this family I am remindedContinue reading “Solid Foundations”
Ups and downs, twists and turns
I have officially been back in The Gambia for over a month and it has been great to be back, but it has also been challenging and full of lots of ups, downs, twists, turns and moments when I am just hanging upside down and wondering what is next. The Lord does not promise usContinue reading “Ups and downs, twists and turns”
Flip-Flop
Well, I have hit the ground running in The Gambia and although it is super busy it is wonderful to be back.

Communication
Anyone see a problem in this picture? What if I tell you this is the main cellular tower for our village and this was our source of all cell phone service and internet? Last month there was a large and devastating windstorm in our village causing damage to many properties, injuries and deaths. Please prayContinue reading “Communication”
Packing
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”
