Just a bit of an update


This is a picture of the building where I live.... I love it here and I can't believe how time flys. I have always heard that the older you get the faster time goes by.... well, I don't think those people were lying to me. So many things are happening in my life and they are all good. I am still working as a missionary at my apartment complex and I love being with the people. It is hard to believe that I have been home from Nigeria for a year a-half and I have been here at The Homes Of Parker Commons for a year already. I had been applying for several jobs over the past several months and I have not taken any of them. I had also started visting a new church and it was good while it lasted but it just wasn't home. I am now back home where I have been a member for 5 years where I have always been fed. I feel in my heart after lots of prayer that I am doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing for this time and I am happy to say that because it feels really good.

I am in contact all the time with people from different parts of the world and my heart burns with missions and I pray that God will continue to use me in areas to bring forth the coming of His Kingdom here on earth. I want to ask you to join in with me and pray for God to continue to bless me and keep me as I learn more everyday how to grow in the knowledge and strenght of His might and love and to use the gifts and talents He has given me for this very purpose.

LIBERTY!!!!




This is my new puppy Liberty. I got her in Feb. and she is now 4.5 months old. She is such a joy to have. I haven't had a puppy in somewhat of 20 years and I have never had one by myself and I truly had no idea what I was getting myself into. I can also tell you that I have never bent over so much in my whole life......but it is all very good for me.
I am so thankful that God put her in my life. She is a challenge most of the time but I do find myself laughing at her most of the day. This is a great thing that God has done for me, giving me Liberty, to free me from my sorrow and saddness even though it wasn't terminal....but I did need some help to stop focusing on me all the time and Liberty is helping me do that. I am also seeing more things besides just Liberty when I am not so busy looking at myself, I am seeing more and more of God's greatness in my life.
Has anyone told you lately how great God is, or better yet, have you told God how great He is? You know that God is a loving God and He loves to hear us tell Him how much we love Him. We love Him because He first loved us. I hope that you will take sometime out today to tell God just how much you love Him and if you are struggling with that then take sometime today to count how many things are going well with you and see if that doesn't help you feel Gods love a bit more.
Be Blessed!
