My Ghana Family

Wednesday we all knew it was my last day but the day was so busy that time got away and we did not know we should say bye, we thought we had the evening. But things don't go the way we expect. I did not have time to say goodbye, I should have been on the bus when I realized what was happening. There was no way I could say bye to even half the people, because everyone was running around or in buildings.

Father I don't understand why You allowed me to suddenly without warning be removed from the people I have come to love without being able to say a proper good bye or not being able to say good bye at all? When only You know when we will see each other again. Will they know I care, that my heart breaks that I did not know how to or couldn't say good bye to them or give them one last hug? Was there a reason it happened the way it did? To help me value every moment I have?

 Thank You Father for the time we had together, the times we talked, the times we laughed, the times we hugged, the time we just sat, for the little people who hugged my waist making it nearly impossible to walk, for the late heart to heart visits in the classrooms and on the swings, for all the walks in the city and out, for the love and concern of my new friends when I was unwell, for being able to see your love and care in each of them, for the time we prayed and worshiped together, for the peace and safety I knew there, for all the drives, for my Ghana family.

 Father, Be with this new family of mine. Provide for their needs. Give them a clear focus, renew their minds. Give them favor in what ever they set their hand and heart to do and may You be glorified in their life. May they know the depth and richness of Your love. May they walk out Your plan for their life, willingly and in faith. May they not be hindered by fear of any kind, but keep their eyes on You. Remind us that serving/loving You is beautiful and surpasses any and all pain.

New Adventure

Prayers are always very much excepted!      We are going to be going on mini outreaches to the bush where there is no running water and no out houses. I am excited! We are each required to take a personal single person tent and sleeping bag for these mini out reaches! I don't know all the details but I know it will be a GREAT time of learning and we are excited to be learning from those who Live this life style.       Our regular living conditions will be rooming with 8-12 other students(of the same gender) we will not always have running water(due to being in a 3th world country) so we need to be sure to have an emergency money supply for bottled water(otherwise we can...

Fathers Day

Fathers Day Thank you Dad for serving God by serving our family!!!!      How blessed I have been to have you as my Dad! I really don’t know who I would be if God did not give me to you. I remember once I had a dream I found out I was adopted, I was so mad and when I awoke I was still angry. For I wanted no other Father or Mother.     You had asked God how you could instill a love for Him in your children. And God told you to just love Him. You never followed someone else’s plan or program, only God. And now 33 years later that love you desired your children to have with your Heavenly Father, they have and desire even more!    Thank you for not chasing wealth or the things of this world! Thank YOU SO MUCH for chasing God! Thank you for your time…looking back I ask myself how did you have the time to accomplish all that you did? You raised seven children, provided for, loved, served, sacrificed yourself for your wife and Child...
