#28 in 100 Things to Be Thankful For…
Check out the rest of my thankfulness journey here.
#28: Yesterday we had the opportunity to celebrate our daughters’ 16th birthdays with our best friends, George & Debbie. Our daughters, Kelsey & Carrington, both turned 16 within two days of each other. I’m not only thankful for wonderful friends to celebrate such special occasions with, but also for the beautiful young ladies that Kelsey & Carrington are growing into. I just can’t thank God enough for these blessings in my life.
Journey to Sierra Leone: Day 4 – Part 2
After our interviews in the War Wounded Camp, I asked Joan if we had another interview set up and she gave me a look that perfectly reflected how I was feeling at the moment…. I just can’t handle any more right now. Agreed. There are hundreds upon hundreds of stories to be told in Grafton, but, at that moment, neither of us could bear to sit through another one. There’s something about seeing their faces, hearing the pain in their voices and the silent prayers you pray as you sit listening that simply wear you out.
Journey to Sierra Leone: Day 4 – Part 1
Tuesday morning dawned bright & beautiful with the generator serving as my alarm clock at 5:00 a.m. Devotions were good, again, as we sang my favorite worship song, Chris Tomlin’s God of This City. I just love the lyrics…
Journey to Sierra Leone: Day 3
Monday arrived bright and blurry-eyed with the generator kicking on outside my window at 5:00 a.m. – giving me a little time to drift in and out of sleep until 5:45 when Bridget and I needed to get up and get ready for devotions. One good thing was that I didn’t have to take much time to consider my clothes, I had brought one standard type of attire, khakis, t-shirt and vest with pockets to hold my small notebook and camera lenses. After putting on my clothes and make-up (I’m sorry, I just couldn’t part with a little bit of make-up) it was time to begin devotions.
Journey to Sierra Leone: Day 2
Sunday began at London’s Heathrow airport as our team awaited the departing flight to Sierra Leone. We spent our time sleeping, eating and window shopping. London’s airport is an indoor mall… if only the U.S. dollar wasn’t so weak compared to the pound. Geez things are expensive.
