my how time flies....

A month ago today, mom stepped out of this world and into Jesus' open arms. Can't believe it has passed so fast... There are still cluttery boxes all over my house. And a stack of thank you notes waiting to be written. Can't seem to make/take the time to get those things done...



On a lighter, happier note... I'm pleased to announce that I'll be making a trip to India soon!! My heart leaps just thinking about it!! Please pray for us as we travel - it's a LONG trip, but man! Is it ever worth it! I will be there for 3 weeks, spending time at our orphanage in Delhi (where we have 23 children) and visiting with some beloved old friends as well...

After 4 long years, I'm finally headed back to my heartland... If you desire to help offset the costs for that portion of my trip, or help us as we build up our second orphanage in Calcutta, tax deductible donations can be made to ASHA Mission Society - please let me know if you are interested in receiving more information about our ministry! We DESPERATELY need sponsors for these dear orphans!



Then I'll head over to Denmark to see my dear friends Kathrina and Morten and their 2 AMAZING boys Mikkel and Kasper! I cannot wait to visit them!!!



Last but not least, I will return in time for my 10 year college reunion at Liberty. (GULP!) There is NOTHING like fall in Lynchburg! Absolutely magical!


God is good! And I am one thankful pup that is VERY excited about what the future holds!

Ikea is my friend...

I bought an Ikea bed frame this week (the Tolga model)

At this VERY moment, I am appreciating it more than I can put into words. Its low to the ground & has no head or foot board. I bought it specifically so my bed could fit under the windows in my room. Right now, I'm in bed with my window cracked so I can feel the wind, and watch & hear the trees shuffle about. My white sheer curtains are being tossed about over my head...

((sigh)) what a way to spend a morning...

Itty bitty storm Fay

Just a quick update - we are having some wind & rain, but nothing unbearable... (but we did get the day off! Woohoo!)

One week...

One week ago (almost exactly) we said goodbye to mom... in some ways, it feels a lifetime ago, in others it was just yesterday...

Thank you so much for your cards, prayers & concern. My family is surrounded with amazing loved ones... I am overwhelmed...
