Once again, GOD SAVES THE DAY!

Forever God is faithful!
Forever God is strong!
Forever God is with us!
FOREVER & EVER!!!

Yes, you guessed it...I got the financial clearance from AIM today!

I can officially hop on a plane to Kenya on April 23rd. I'M STILL RAISING FUNDS, though, and the reality of everything is starting to sink in. Your prayers and encouragement have been
indescribable! How I need the Body of Christ! Thank you for loving me.

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for...

...and certain of what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1)

This is what I'm clinging to right now. Faith.
I am talking with Africa Inland Mission about my finances and we are exploring what to do in case all the funds are not raised in time. Much will be clarified this week, but the alternatives DID light a fire under my feet to GET PRAYING and BELIEVING and RUNNING and WORKING and LISTENING and doing whatever it is that Jesus needs me to do to follow Him in this calling. I know He's able to do all things, but I know I have to do my part, too.

Lord, what should I be doing TODAY to love and follow You?

My home in Kalacha, Kenya!


Hardworking hands just put up my house in Kalacha this month...in the 115 degree weather! God bless those hands!


(I will be sharing it with others.)

Do you trust Me?

No, this is not Aladdin!

In exactly ONE MONTH, all my funds for my upcoming journey to Kenya must be raised. Why is it that I'm not one bit worried about THAT, yet I can freak out to tears in seconds when I discover how much my medical bills are going to cost to PREPARE for the trip?

*********
Me: Oh, Jesus, thank You for taking care of me in EVERY aspect possible!
Doctor's Office: $500 for this visit, please.
Me: *panic*
Jesus: Do you trust Me?
Me: Oh, yeah. FAITH, not sight. FAITH. Faith. Faith.

Africa hasn't been the only thing on my brain.
My niece, Allison (blue coat), had a school recital last week that I enjoyed with family. I'm holding my Goddaughter, Brenna, with her new saucy glasses!! My dad is sporting his 'turtle' coat. Enjoy!
