Riding the Wave

Life these days is a bit surreal so I had to bring you up to date...from new homes for kids, to the grandkids and a big event in the wings. I can't say I understand why but I have to say the time is calmly passing by. It is like being at the heart of something swirling around you but just moving with it and letting it take you where it wants to go. Riding the wave. Like when you go rafting it is freeing but at the same time scary. But the Lord is good and I'm thankful He is in control.

What's swirling around? Let me share with you a little more...

Lots of great family things happening with our new granddaughter Sarah Grace, and Mark's family. Please keep them in your prayers.

My planned trip to Uganda is not fully funded although I have a ticket for September 21st. Lord willing I will be able to go.

The university scholars are trusting the Lord to provide for them and are always a bright light to me. I can't wait to see them and develop their "career launch plans."

The new Ssenge home with these precious little boys who were once on the street are so cute and lovable. Anyone want to get involved?

The usual distractions that any organization working with Africa continue but I'm claiming Exodus 14:14.

Praising the Lord that Steve Green the 7 Dove AWARD winner is available for a testimonial event in November 21st. We are praying the Lord provides underwriters.

Daniel Mwangi one of the Kenyan Rock businessman, has a restored business and now has his family back together. (He saw his neighbor killed with an arrow through the chest during the violence. Watch for the complete story coming soon.)

So even though things are swirling all around and out of control as they usually are at our house we are thankful for you, the many blessings and have great hope for the future. I'm a realist and know I'm in way over my head, but it's actually kinda exciting!

Each day I have to trust Him to provide everything. I learn many things from the faith of the kids we love so much in Africa. This summer's Bible study was a great encouragement and continues to impact me as we studied people with amazing faith who were just regular people. I wonder how they did it at times but the Lord was with them. D.L. Moody was so open and teachable. I think of the Rock scholars and how they love new things. The kids from the street are true over-comers like William Carey who never gave up hope. Working with orphans I can't forget George Muller as a great believer in prayer and God providing every need. Even Jim Cymbala of Brooklyn Tabernacle one of my favorite places to visit in NY has an amazing story that continues. I'm thankful for those that have gone before me because they inspire me to persevere. God is exciting and trustworthy.
