“I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course. So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle. Do not correct me in anger, for I would die.”

Jeremiah 10:23-24


But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves are green, and they never stop producing fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8

Goodbye Amber!!!

Oh my word!!!! My girl, Amber!!!! She lived with me the last 2 months she was here, so she and I got pretty close. We saw eye to eye on most things and just really had a good time hanging out. She actually left 2 months ago, so I'm just really tardy getting my site updated! Here in Cape Town she worked a lot in our office, trying to set up manuals for the SOS Village program and for Christian Union. She also did some brochures we could use for promotion and helped Emelio get our website set up. She is 27 so living in the house was a struggle for her as well, so we were kind of kindred spirits on a lot of things. We did a lot of stuff together, so I miss her immensely!!! She is joining MCYM, the military youth part of YFC, probably going to be in Italy to serve the military kids there. She has such a heart and passion for this work that I think she will be there for a long time! Right now she's back in the States doing some fundraising before heading to Europe, so I'm sure she'd appreciate if you said a quick prayer for her funding efforts - believe me - its not an easy task!!!! Anyway, here's a pic of Amber and I at my flat and then a pic of her with my little buddy, Joanen and another boy at SOS (lookin good with the braids!).....miss you so, so much Amber!!!!
