As I begin to pack and prepare for the long journey across the Atlantic, again, I am trying to wrap things up a bit here in The Gambia. My preference would be to have the work here all wrapped up in a nice pretty package with a bow on top to be opened when IContinue reading “Wrapping Things Up”

Back and Forth
A few weeks ago I was settling into life in California and being back in The Gambia was not in the forefront of my mind. However, God’s plans are always greater than ours and I am grateful to be back here with my Gambian family, celebrating the life of our long standing friend. The funeral,Continue reading “Back and Forth”
6 months!
It has officially been 6 months since March 20th, 2025; a date I will not forget. 6 months ago, our ministry vehicle went flying off the road and this adventure of recovery began. 6 months ago, God preserved my life and that of our driver. He brought my team to rally around me and careContinue reading “6 months!”
Here we go!
Praise God, I was officially released from medical leave on August 1st. This was two months prior than anyone (including myself) could have dreamed I would be ready. My recovery continues to go great and I feel good and back to “normal”. I am jumping in and catching up on lots of computer work whileContinue reading “Here we go!”
10 yrs
Picture memories are wonderful! Today I was reminded that 10 yrs ago I was appointed with ABWE and officially started this career missionary journey to The Gambia. 2 days ago I was able to have dinner with friends who were in that candidate class with me 10 yrs ago. Praise God, they continue to faithfullyContinue reading “10 yrs”

I am not missing Rupert (my brace) and I am making great progress with water aerobics, exercises and stretches. So far, I am doing well at finding the balance of not overdoing it. Continue to pray for wisdom in that. As I continue to get stronger and be able to walk a little further IContinue reading “Making Progress”
Baby Steps
Taking things slowly and making tiny amounts of progress has been the theme of my life for the last 2 months since the accident on March 20th. However, it is important to remind myself of the baby steps that I am making and the victories. The first day after I was discharged from the hospitalContinue reading “Baby Steps”
Love and Care
I find myself saying over and over that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. My church family is taking amazing care of me and a great aide in my recovery. I feel abundantly loved and cared for each day. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to each of you whoContinue reading “Love and Care”
Another year
If a month ago someone had told me I would be celebrating my 52nd birthday in London with my friend Ruth I would have said you were crazy! 1 month ago my life and plans looked very different than how they look right now. I was excited and looking forward to some great things inContinue reading “Another year”
Work
This week the theme of growing, stretching and trying new things continued. Anyone in ministry will tell you that your “work” is very loosely defined, very flexible and basically wherever and however God opens a door you strive to follow. This means the days may be long, the days may be hard, the days mayContinue reading “Work”
