Realness


 I've been So awed by God lately, I mean He always 'awes' me, but lately He just seems So much more real to me. I'm not really sure why, maybe it's just that I'm growing in my faith more and more and hopefully maturing (ahem*) :). And obviously its my attitude, because God has been, is, and always will be there with me close by.



 
 
 
Or maybe its the amazing pictures He paints in the sky everyday,

 
 




 
Or being home with my family and watching my siblings each grow up (celebrated this girls 4th birthday a few days ago:))

 
Or watching these two love birds grow closer together in the Lord
 
 
Either way He is So Alive and Real and Amazing! And He wants each of us to experience His realness. And wants us to be Real. For His Glory.
I honestly don't know why I'm blogging about this, because me out of all the people don't really know what I'm saying or how to say it let alone know anything about the subject!
One of the definitions of Real in the Webster's dictionary is: 'Having actual existence, and not merely just possible, apparent, or imaginary.' That is what I desire. To be All there, not just trying to put on a show for God or for others to think I'm a good person. I don't just want to go though the motions. But to be fully surrounded by God and His love, and not to look to the right or the left when even though the world around us is a sinful nation and is trying each and every way to pull me into it! And then also to spread the gospel in what ever I do, because people are watching me and sometimes we might be the only thing that people can get a glimpse of Christ through. Actually we are ordered to spread the gospel. Its a commandment from Christ. And He Trusts ME in doing so!! And then I wonder...If He trusts me in spreading the His Word, why is it so hard for me sometimes to trust Him? But God is sovereign He has a plan and purpose for each one to carry out it work. Never under estimate His power or what He can do!
 
Anyway, that's my thoughts for the day that where from the amazing weekend. I learned so much more about God and His plan and His greatness and love! Sometimes I feel like I could be so full of Christ and His love and when I'm surrounded by His people I think I could about burst with happiness and joy, ect. :) Yes I had an awesome weekend spent in Morris North with some awesome people!! God is awesome!!
 
Ok, I'll stop rambling, who knows if any of this even makes sense!
Have a happy Monday, ya'll!
Blessings, Leigha

Changes

Yup big changes! I'm moving...to Fairbury, Illinois, in less than a month. Who would have ever thought? Definitely was not in my plans to be doing, or ever doing! But God had a different plan in mind, and I know its a greater plan than I could have ever come up with. But if it would have been my choice, Illinois would have been definitely not on the top of my list. Don't get me wrong I love the people, but it's just a little to fast paced for me, has no dirt roads or even gravel for that matter, and there's lots n lots of people and towns and houses! :) A little different from what I'm used to here in Bern, Kansas! But I'm getting more excited. It's going to be a big adjustment tho. I'm gonna miss my dear, crazy, awesome, maybe a little odd at times, Family so much! And my wonderful friends, whom I will dearly miss! But don't worry I will be home a lot!....I think! :) And the big open spaces where you can't see anything or anyone for miles around

Back in Kansas | week 1

Image
Yes, I'm home.  Yes, I miss Bukeka. Yes, I'm cold. Yes, I miss it. Yes, it went fast. Yes, I learned a lot. No, I won't be able to explain it all right now.  One of my friends on the other side thought it was funny how I numbered my weeks while I was in Uganda, but then he suggested I should do the same thing when I get back home too. Praising God for the most incredible past 7 months and also for the safe journey back home on Tuesday.  You know I am praising Jesus so much, my first week at home couldn't have gone better. I was nervous and anxious about coming home, and still am a little with the weeks ahead. But God has been so faithful to me. I'm 100% confidant its the prayers prayed on my behalf with this transition. Yes I'm lonely for my kids and all that Suubi was to me, but so far the transition home has been so smooth. Maybe it helps that I could jump right back into working, and that I got to come home to two of my sibling

Tribute to Richard

Image
        I don't know if it was more of a honor to know such a man, work for him, or speak at his Rosary service, but people like Richard don't come around very often and I for one feel so blessed to be touched by his life.         We tend to say that Richard lost his battle with brain cancer, but what really happened is that he won. He gained the greatest victory on Monday, July 6th, 2020 and is now living the best life and I am so jealous. He was so ready to go and his last few weeks were such a testimony to me. Patiently  and eagerly  waiting to leave this earth and his physical pain. That's how I want to be.         I’ve been blessed to have many wonderful and incredible examples and mentors in my 25 years thus far, but out of all of them, Richard outweighs them all. He was a silent example in so many ways and I think I can say along with many other young people that even though Richard didn’t have any children of his own, he was like a father figure to so many of us.
