Little Angels

Are John and Moses Little Angels? Well they are 10 and 11 year old boys, so you can answer that one! But they are great kids and two of my boys, so in my heart they are my “little angels”.



Actually “Little Angels” is the name of the Sunday School group at our church, MPC. Today was their BIG Sunday performance at both services. John and Moses have been practicing hard all week with the group and were both very excited to perform today. Moses even had the lead vocals on two songs in the second service. Of course I was the proud Auntie and was taking pictures like crazy! They both did a wonderful job and I’m happy to say the congregation enjoyed as much as I did!

Being Mothers to the Motherless

Wednesday night I came home form mid-week service and set down for dinner and a quick e-mail to my Mom. This time was soon interrupted when Aunt Fatumah came in the main house and got me because she was scared. She had been in the girls dorm and found one of our older girls, Shadia, crying and in extreme pain from a headache.

We immediately went up to assess her situation. As soon as I walked in I found all the other girls gathered around her trying to comfort her as she wailed, and cried out in pain. I couldn’t believe how bad she was, but had to keep a level head and help her. I knew right away she had a migraine, so I sent the girls out to pray, turned off the lights and tried to calm Shadia down. Fatumah got a cold cloth and it was placed over Shadia’s head and eyes. I got her the only thing I had for a headache, three extra strength Tylenol. We calmed her down by softly praying for her and rubbing her back. She still moaned in pain but wasn’t crying or screaming anymore. Slowly she fell into a peaceful state. Aunt and I stayed with her silently praying and humming worship songs tell she fell asleep. I thank God that we could be there for Shadia, and be her mothers’ in her time of need.

Prayers Needed Please!

As you know I'm getting ready to leave for a month in the village of Kisizi in Western Uganda. I had some unsual things happen in the last 24 hours that is telling me that we need to pray hard to break any strong holds the devil has on this trip or on me.

Ephesians 6:12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

The first thing that happened is that I was at mid-week service last night and the visiting pastor laid hands on my head and cast out any evil against me. Second my brother called me last night after service and told me that he had a dream that morning that I was violently killed in Africa. Then I spoke to another friend this morning that I'm very close to and told him of my brothers dream. He said that he dreamed last night that someone close to him died and there were ghost flying around in his dream.

As you can see the Evil one is working to stop this and scare me. I will not stand for that because our God is stronger then that and I'm going to do His work. So please pray to break any evil that could fall upon me! Thank you so much!!

Romans 8:38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.

May God watch over you and bless you all!
