We remain in the midst of some major construction projects here in the village. Praise God for my wonderful employees who are really taking the lead and helping out with everything. However, the tubaab (white person, that’s me) still has to be in charge of handing out the funds and making some of the financialContinue reading “Home Depot or Lowes?”

Holidays
Today and tomorrow are public holidays in The Gambia as they celebrate the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. This morning as I watched thousands of men and young boys (a few older women were in the crowds also) filing out of the mosques in their new holiday clothes my heart was overwhelmed byContinue reading “Holidays”
Always learning
Isn’t there some expression that you should learn something new every day? Well, when you live overseas and are a missionary wearing many different hats you learn 10-100 new things each and every day (and most of it in a different language.) This week has been all about water, septic, plumbing and much more thatContinue reading “Always learning”

While trying to finish up the work at the clinic the other day, our cleaner (who is always multitasking) came to work with fresh produce to sell. I mean,Continue reading “Multitasking”

God ordained
Yesterday was one of those days where God had clearly laid out the “plans” and I was along for the ride and maybe a little slow in getting on board with His plans. Honestly, the day started off nicely with some good quiet time with the Lord and a little not too stressful office work.Continue reading “God ordained”
