"More"

My sweet friend Charlynn 
{who went to Africa when Emma and I led the team in April of 2011}
 posted on my Facebook wall to tell everyone "more"

You can thank Charlynn for her suggestion,
*giggle*

and to oblige her...

here's some "more" of the story:

When that text message came in just 2 weeks ago,
and I read it aloud to Dw, 
he instantly said,
"Maybe we could help"...



Because when we told HIM we would do A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G.




{no matter what He asked of us}

We meant it...


We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God, who will thwart our plans, even daily, by sending people across our path with their ....requests. ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer

  3. You're going to add some chickens to the family? You're going to send someone chickens? You're going to send someone some eggs? You're going to put all your eggs in one basket? You're going to open up a breakfast place?

    You're going to SCRAMBLE somewhere??

    4. Ok, missy, if Carmen's (and everyone else's) guess isn't right, we're going to need the full lowdown before we all fall over from exasperation!!!! ;)

    5. Girlfriend who sipped coffee with me once-upon-a-time in Durango....I did NOT say Carmen wasn't right.... I was not saying "no" we weren't adding another. It's really semantics. You will understand when you read it. Promise. Get your detective hat on....and the post is coming. I just have a doctor's appt I have to head to. Wanna go with? It's a long drive downtown. ugh.

  30. I didn't realise that it is good news... awesome! :) when you shared about something big that needed prayers, needing Memorial Box stories, I thought it was because of some bad news and you needed encouragement... but it seems it turns out to be good!

    awesomeness, another little addition? can't wait to see who it is! :)

  31. I am waiting to hear what God is having you do! A full dozen would be awesome! Janet
