Going Home

This is apparently a good form of therapy for me. . . .


I sent these pictures to Alma house. . . .




The "Going Home" is one of my most favorite songs by Sara Groves



These lyrics above are from a wonderful song by Aaron Ivey called "Amos Song"
Every time i hear it, I feel compelled to pray these particular words for Sharif




That means "I love you so much, my family!"

My friend Becca is leaving for Uganda today to see all my Ugandan family members!
For those of you that don't know, I decided not to go to Uganda right now, mainly cause I would have only been able to actually stay for 7 days. If the Lord keeps it on my heart for a while, I could possibly go in a few months for like 2 weeks or something. Let me know if you're interested in coming! I would love to take a group of people on a shorter trip some time within the year.
I don't know if that would mean through my church or just a few friends or something.

Last I've heard, Sharif is doing good. He was having a little trouble at school, but things seems to have worked out. Everyone is just moving on with life. They say that's just how it goes in that culture. They grieve hard, then they move on. I suppose that is all you can do.
I am sending a framed picture of Eva for Alma house to put up and I hear they are excited about that.

Also, for all those interested, Uncle Francis and his wife will be at Community church and staying in College Station the night of July 18th--come if you can!
