Thank You From Sarah In Uganda

I recently returned home from my third trip to Uganda, Africa. I have so much to share however I can't put it all into words yet. Imagine that, me at a loss for words. 😉 I'm so thankful for cell phone cameras and large storage capacity! The pictures I took of the people I met…

He’s Alive!

Happy Resurrection Sunday. Our Savior is Risen and Alive ever more! Hallelujah! If you received an email from me this morning and was not able to open the blog, I apologize. I opened an old draft from a blog I was working on a few years about a trip to Kenya that never happened. When…

Human Trafficking Is Happening All Around Us

Over the last year I've really been burdened by the amount of women who are being trafficked. Some women enter by choice as they are in desperate situations needing financial income. Others have been kidnapped, drugged, and forced into prostitution. Each woman then becomes enslaved to a horrid life. My heart hurts for these women…

Ethiopia….Uganda….USA…. Where to Begin?

Psalm 103 says; “Bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within me Bless His holy name......the Lord performs righteous deeds and judgments for all who are oppressed.” Wow! Where do I even begin?

Taking My Hands Off Of Control Sets Me Free

Happy first Saturday of 2018! In my last post,  What's Your Word for 2018 , I blogged about discipline being my word for 2018 and asked what your focus will be one this year. Now I have a song to focus on too! Music is so powerful! The words of my 2018 song go hand in hand with what God…

What’s Your Word for 2018

Have you heard the New Year buzz? "What's your word to focus on?" It's like the replacement for resolutions. Instead of making a bunch of specific goals you simply pick a word or phrase that you want to focus on developing in your life over the next year. I’ve been doing this for many years…

Living Among Heroes

Do you remember your first teacher, coach, or boss? In life we come across those who leave their fingerprints on our lives. People who make such an impression you just never forget, you might consider them heroes. Recently Tom, my husband, and I were in the store when I was reminded of how we impact…

Did I Really Pray For This?

I just said "Yes" to go on another mission trip to Africa. This time to Nakuru, Kenya. What....Africa again? Am I crazy? Did I pray for this? Yes to all! I remember when I first said "Yes" to Jesus' invitation to salvation and surrendered my life to His lordship, it was the best "yes" I've…
