Guest Post today from my good friend, Rachel Rodgers. Check out her blog here. His promises are not empty. He has, is and always will keep His Word. “I pray that You will continue to bind my family together with a desire to serve.” A prayer I’ve prayed over the…
“Mom, why are you going to Uganda?” Zoie asked me with a frown. I gathered her in my arms and I said, “Baby, it’s a special trip for mommy to help kids with, jiggers in their feet, feel better and loved.” “But, I want you home with me.” she said firmly.
