At the end of this semester...


At the near end of the most challenging semester I am likely to ever see, I continue to be amazed at the graciousness and trueness of God. There has been success in this semester only because He is great; there has been triumph over the dark corners of my heart because He has overcome the power of death; there has been comfort because He heals; there has been pain because He is molding me like clay; there has been challenge, because there is so much more in me yet to do.


"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead." Philippians 3:10-11

New Life Children's Home

<

While we were in Kibera, we had the awesome priviledge to spend time with these precious kiddos at New Life Children's Home. All of these children are orphans, either by the death or abandonment by their families...Jeffrey, who is being held by Tiff was rescued from a ditch about a week before this video was taken...

Kibera


Kibera is one of the largest slums in sub-Saharan Africa. In just 3.2 sq kilometers 1.3 million people live in Kibera, 72% of that population is young people. The word kibera is derived from the Nubian word kibra which means forest or jungle.

This is me...

Yep ... that's me, a work in progress. I finally recognized three years ago that I needed God in my life, and that He wanted me in His. He's been cleaning me up, teaching me and healing me from the inside out ever since. His character is more perfect and incredible than I could ever expect or imagine...

Following Hard After You...

One Pure and Holy Passion
Passion
Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me one magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You
Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me on magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You
To know and follow hard after You
To grow as Your dicsiple in your truth
This world is empty, pale, and poor
Compared to knowing you, my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after You
Lead me on and I will run after You
Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me one magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You
To know and follow hard after You
To grow as Your disciple in the truth
This world is empty, pale, and poor
Compared to knowing you my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after You
Lord to know and follow hard after You
And to grow as Your disciple in Your truth
This world is empty, pale, and poor
Compared to knowing you my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after You
Lead me on and I will run after You
Lead me on and I will run after You.
