I am on the road and enjoying time with Ministry partners, friends and family as well as a little bit of sight seeing and a lot of “windshield time” with God. The long driving days provide hours of quiet for prayer and conversations with God which is wonderful. I have also been able to listenContinue reading “Windshield Time with God”

“Planning”
Anyone else a “planner” and struggling a little (or a lot) with that lately? I know God is in control, I know His plans are so much greater and better than anything I can even think of, but I also know He made me this way. So, I strive to pray a lot, submit myContinue reading ““Planning””
Home
On a regular basis here and in The Gambia I get asked where is “home” or where I came from? Well, that is a really good question with many answers…. I call my US home base North Carolina, I was born and raised in California, the closest thing I have to a home dwelling /Continue reading “Home”
On the Road Again
Long ago, before Covid hit I was praying about and preparing for my furlough time in the US and planning a lot of travel throughout the US. Well, Covid definitely changed all of that and many of my travels have been changed, cancelled or postponed. Recently I have been able to get back on theContinue reading “On the Road Again”
Slips, Trips and Falls
Ok, for those of you who know me you are probably chuckling about this title since I tend to be a little accident prone. Don’t worry, I do not have a new injury and I am recovering well from my existing ones. As I was reading in Proverbs 4 this morning about focusing on theContinue reading “Slips, Trips and Falls”
Saying Yes
Over the last several weeks God has provided many opportunities for me to connect with ministry partners and share with many new people about not only the Lord’s work in The Gambia, but also my journey with the Lord and to serving Him overseas. Throughout these great conversations one theme resonates, “Just Say YES! MyContinue reading “Saying Yes”
This is What It’s All About
Yesterday, baking cookies and enjoying time with two precious girls from the village was amazing. We managed to not make as big a mess as I thought we would and there were no fires (some of you know my cooking reputation). They were great helpers and we made almost 100 sugar cookies. As I watchedContinue reading “This is What It’s All About”
Home Sweet Home
From the moment I first set foot on this compound two years ago it felt like home and now it really does. I have finished unpacking my 20ft shipping container from the US. I do feel like a spoiled Tubaab (white person), but I know that all this shiny new stuff will become dirty andContinue reading “Home Sweet Home”
Changes
I cannot believe it, but I have officially been in The Gambia for 6 months! In many ways it feels like I just arrived yesterday; especially when I struggle through what should be a basic Wolof conversation or cannot do simple tasks without help. In other ways it feels like IContinue reading “Changes”
Star Trek
Ok, I know you are wondering what Star Trek has to do with this ministry or life in The Gambia. I will start by offending and maybe alienating some of you by saying I do not like Star Trek; although I have to admit I have never watched an entire episode. Now, I will moveContinue reading “Star Trek”
