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”
Making Progress
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”
Prayer Seeking
Several years ago I was challenged to change my perspective on “Prayer Walking” to be one of “Prayer Seeking”. Instead of just praying as I walked, praying AND having my eyes up, my gaze forward, seeking opportunities to pray for people and share biblical truths. As our visiting team was here we had many opportunitiesContinue reading “Prayer Seeking”
Shift, pivot, stop and go
Life and ministry are always changing and when you live in West Africa the crazy WAWA challenges make things even more likely to change. This past weekend was supposed to be a routine grocery run where we head to the city on a Friday and return home to the village on a Monday. In theContinue reading “Shift, pivot, stop and go”
Ngente
I hope you clicked on this post to find out what “ngente”, a very important Wolof word means. Our language learning process is called Language Acquisition Made Practical (LAMP method) and that means you self direct and learn what you specifically need to learn. Early on it was important to learn what “ngente” meant sinceContinue reading “Ngente”
