"Our Song"

Many, many, MANY years ago, when we only had two kids we would crank up the volume on this tune and dance around the house...... it is amazing how prophetic it has turned out to be.

"Me and Becky" - Chris Rice

Becky has a house on Abundant Live Boulevard
A good name, good family, and butterflies in her yard
Becky loves Jesus and really wants to make Him proud
She tears up in church and she sings her harmonies loud
She's got a Bible by the bed, a prayer journal, and a fish on her car
She makes sure to bow her head and give thanks in every restaurant


But is that enough?

C'mon Becky, let's go for a ride
If I'm driving too fast then I apologize
But there's a world out there that we left behind
Full of souls as important as yours and mine
Looks like a reckless road, and a sacrifice
And I'm crazy scared it may cost our lives
But then I remember Jesus died


So c'mon Becky
Let's go for a ride

I'm rolling up to Becky's house on my Sunday drive
I have to laugh to myself 'cause it looks exactly like mine
I smile and wave at all the happy people strolling by
We've got the same walk, same talk, and the same sparkle in our eyes
'Cause we're thankful for the blessings, but maybe we could lay 'em aside
I get a feeling we might be missin' the time of our lives

So hop in and hold on tight

C'mon Becky, let's go for a ride
If I'm driving too fast then I apologize
But there's a world out there that we left behind
Full of souls as important as yours and mine
Looks like a reckless road, and a sacrifice
And I'm crazy scared it may cost our lives
But then I remember Jesus died


So c'mon Becky
Let's go for a ride


'Cause we're thankful for the blessings, but maybe we could lay 'em aside?
I get a feeling we might be heading for the time of our lives
So hop in and hold on tight
C'mon Becky, let's go for a ride


This really is "Our Song".... raised in Christian homes, singing in church, having a prayer journal.... all of it, and now we truly are enjoying "the time of our lives".

Thank you JESUS for allowing us to give our lives for you!

Time is Flyin!!

They say that time flies when you are having fun.... but really I think it flies regardless of how much fun you are having! 

The end September brought out our best Waco friends, two of their kids and our overseer from AMI.  That was a fast and fun trip!  They were the first friends to ever visit, meaning we have developed many friendships after people have arrived in Gulu, but they were the first to come see us.

We gave them the grand tour: house, market, university, neighbors and all our favorite eateries. In Kampala they went shopping with us and we had pizza on Lake Victoria complete with lake flies galore! 

I have also been guest blogger on the Women's ministry blog for our Church in Lubbock.  That was fun! The first post was on "seasons" and the second was a re-post of my blog on Becky Ann.  You can check it out at prize31.com . There are many WONDERFUL, GODLY ladies that contribute, it is always a good read.

I am still schooling with the girls, visiting neighborhoods, and discipling Kevin and her friend Faith. Faith is expecting soon.... maybe I will be able to add another baby to my list. 

In addition to all this, I have been filling my "free" time with sewing and quilting.  I brought back fabric from the US in July and have been diligently piecing together a quilt for my bed, a small quilt for Emma and another small quilt for my chair.  

I am trying to get a "craft" blog going.... but I misspelled the blog name and I can't decide it I should keep it as a reflection of me, or try and fix it...... opinions?

Now I am focused on the arrival of our next guest in November..... I can't wait for that as well as Thanksgiving. We are planning a huge feast for that day and inviting all our fellow "Munu" friends.  That should be a blast!

HAPPY FALL YA'LL
