I know that I promised a different topic for this post but something is heavy on my heart tonight so I wish to share that instead.  It’s all about our deepest desires and how its’ so easy to allow “life” to mash those desires down so deep that it takes a life force to bring […]

And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.   – 2 John 1:6

Joy has definitely come to my world.  I reflect on  2009 and I am astonished at how God steered my year.  Never in my life did I expect to go to Africa and yet I did.  Never did I think we would be blessed by meeting so many incredible people here and in Africa and […]

“I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, to suck the marrow from the bones of life; to put to rout all that was not life, and not to come to the end of life, and discover that I had not lived.” – Henry David Thoreau

According to our “world” I would have to call this young man a stranger.  But he touched my heart that day just because he wanted to share a brief moment together on a special day in his Rwandan village.  I am so different from him and yet he seemed like a part of me as […]

Well, I will be honest, I have been really frustrated lately with my second half  journey.  Worrying about  MY plans, MY path, going MY WAY on MY time line!  Enough already!  At times, completely losing sight of who I am serving here and getting caught up in the “world” of this instead of the “spirit” […]
