on the road

What a privilege it is to have an opportunity to "tour the country" as we raise support to move to Uganda! We are blessed to see regions of the USA that we never got to see before and spend time with God's people across the States!

Our support is moving along well. We are hoping for a fall departure to Uganda - we still have around $800/month left to raise, but that number is so much more tangible now! Now we see that every little bit helps! We are working hard on consciously not focusing on the numbers (easy though that would be as we long to be in Uganda) and focusing on God's calling and glory each day. This part of the journey is not just a means to an end, but is part of the journey and also a testimony to God's glory and grace!

Every day is an opportunity to teach my children more about Christ - am I doing that or am I focused on packing the car, feeding the family, giving them a "fun" day, and somehow staying organized as we live out of a suitcase?

Family of Three!

We are in Liberia - the electricity goes in and out because the generator is having trouble keeping up these days! So hopefully it will stay on long enough to post and the internet connection will allow me this luxury! We were united with precious Gracie on Thanksgiving day - I will write more about this later. But, oh! is Gracie a joy! She is so beautiful, so joyfilled, and a bit mischievious. Her physical limitations do not permit her to accomplish much mischief, but we can tell that she is trying to push some limits already. If we were not in love with her already, she is irresitable and such a treasure and blessing from God. In our two days together, she has not cried once. She spends most of her days smiling, she loves to snuggle (good match for us!), and has the most contagious laugh! Life takes more effort for her - her cerebral palsy is moderate and every activity is a challenge and is clearly tiring for her. Meal times (which she loves) take a long time and much patience and d...

New Stage of Life

Gracie has entered a new developmental stage. She now is active and has been rolling all over the floor. We cleared out a little living room so that she would have room to roll around - she's rolling front to back, both directions. She also has been much easier to get up on all fours - it used to take 3-4 adults to cram her into the crawling position due to her resistance. She now even spontaneously gets into a semi-crawling position on her own. In the crawling position she's been weight bearing even on her right arm (but always in combination with her left arm). She also has been rocking a little in the crawling position as if she gets it that this is a way that you can move! It's been so exciting. But it also makes her much more eager to be down with other kids and moving around. She's in a very active active stage, always moving, and wanting to move. She's also taken, not just a huge interest in other kids, but also interest in toys a bit more. She's so fun!
