From the dawn to dusk...

....I am SO blessed! every hour, every minute of every day! I could not ask for more! except I would be more like Jesus And what have I done to deserve it? I don't know. And most of all what have I deserved to earn Jesus's love for me? This is what we heard about Wednesday night at church. 'Jesus loves me'. Such a wonderful emotional topic! I can't hardly grasp that love that He has for me! I mean after all, I was the one who nailed Him there on that cross! And He suffered and died so that I might live! Oh what love!! But that's His nature! That's who Jesus is, how is always has been, and always will be! Am I? Do I love like Jesus loves me? Do I serve? Obey? Forgive?

This scene tho... I just love it! so thankful for my daddy and sibs:)

 
Some of the kiddos came with me and we went star gazing! great bonding time:)
 

 
Oh what a day this was...spent the whole day in KC picking out fabric for bridesmaid dresses, and suits and such like! Oh I was so bored, but I'm glad they got a good chunk of the stuff they needing for the wedding!


 
Oh and this picture goes with a long long story. Bummed it was the only pic I took of the rather smallish road trip Jody and I took the other day(s). We won't go into details here, but our trip failed and well it's a rather humiliating situation. ;) anyway, being the weirdos that we are, we wanted to eat at a small town café. we came upon this one, and then proceeded to sit in the car for a while and debated whether or not to trust the place a go in. But we did, and boy was it delish and a most friendly farmer style atmosphere! So we we're in our comfort zone once again.
But we had a great time despite our troubles and all the fun people made of us! Seriously tho, we make the best memories and add years onto our lives because of laughter! :)



 
Oh and my precious cows! So happy to be a dairy farmers daughter!
 

 
And these pictures....the kiddos are supposed to be doing their school work, when a large spider happened to be making its way across the basement. So what do they do? yes they go and catch it and put it on a sticky trap and then of course scare the girlies with it!  Never a dull moment round these parts! Keeps us young I suppose! ;)

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

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.

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
