Following Jesus

Sweet blessings

I just finished a busy, but wonderful 2 week long road trip to wrap up my time in the US. I was able to visit with many people and reconnect with some whom I had not seen in years. I truly experienced the joys of Christian fellowship and am grateful to the Lord for theContinue reading “Sweet blessings”

Fellowship and Campfires

As I wrap up things here in the US and say many “see-you laters” I am doing a lot of reflecting on my time here. If you keep up with my blog posts you will probably see a theme, many of my posts may be similar. I am so grateful for all of the wonderfulContinue reading “Fellowship and Campfires”

Grateful

The last week has been full of great fellowship and wonderful, peaceful time with the Lord. I was reminded yesterday morning yet again of how many people are a part of this ministry and a part of my life and how the Lord is working in it. Truly, there is a village that is prayingContinue reading “Grateful”

Fruit

As I prepare to return to The Gambia at the end of July I am soaking up as much time with the Lord as possible. To produce good fruit in life and in ministry we must be full to overflowing with the love of Christ. God has brought some wonderful reminders of that in toContinue reading “Fruit”

New Life

I cannot believe it has been a month since my last blog post, sorry. The last month has been full of travel, trainings and time with the Lord. This week as I looked at my calendar I was tired and needed to slow down and rest with God. What better time to take a deepContinue reading “New Life”

What God has been doing, is doing and where we see Him moving in The Gambia

I have now been in the US for a month and after a time of rest and refilling I am spending a lot of time re-connecting with my church family and many of you in North Carolina. Thank you all for your prayers. This last season has been difficult, but I believe that there isContinue reading “What God has been doing, is doing and where we see Him moving in The Gambia”

God’s Promises

Many things are going on right now in our ministry. The planner in me has been struggling, up until a week ago LOTS of things were completely up in the air. It felt like nothing was coming together and there were about 50 balls spinning over my head. Yes, I know and trust God isContinue reading “God’s Promises”

Pulling and pushing, twisting and turning

Ok ladies, we have all had the challenging task of pulling, pushing, twisting and turning to get on a pair of pantyhose or tights. I have a new respect for all of you mommas; I cannot even begin to imagine how hard of a task that is to do on a squirming two-year old! AsContinue reading “Pulling and pushing, twisting and turning”

Years

Facebook memories can be great reminders and I had one pop up recently that got me reflecting on the years that I have now spent in The Gambia and all that God has done, is doing and will do and how His light is shining in this dark place. God also reminded me recently howContinue reading “Years”

Sunshine

I am back online after a few weeks of a wonderful vacation in the urban area of The Gambia. My time of vacation was exactly what I needed and was filled with lots of sleep, time with the Lord, relaxing reading, ocean breezes and sunshine (even though it is rainy season, there was little rain).Continue reading “Sunshine”
