a candy corn craft…

I’m the annoying customer that walks through a shop and looks at things and thinks, “I could totally make that.” SO, Loo bear, Pman and I were in a little cute shop downtown last week when I saw really cute candy corn topiaries. They were cute, over-priced…and I could totally make that. I can also […]

You’ve been on my heart lately and I will admit that I too have seen The Young Family in Zambia (for like, perhaps, longer than a traditional visit). =) LOVE your crafty side and the warmth of your home.

Daddy’s home!

It’s been a really good day here at the Young house. Daddy rolled up in the driveway this morning around 8:30am–and little feet rushed out the door to greet him…mine included. We’ve spent the day with the children running around–and much of it in the kitchen…over coffee. So much to share–and most of it too […]

Hey Andrea.
I’m a friend of Kristin’s here in Ndola and got to meet your husband last week. Glad they are all back safely. I’m hoping to be in the states next year so maybe I’ll get to meet the rest of your family!
God bless you,
Hannah

Looking forward…

Labstone Chanda at Mapalo School – Wiphan Care Ministry It’s truly hard to even describe our hearts and feelings the last couple of days. I’m ready for Richard to come home. I miss him…and right now–he is on the 18 hour flight from South Africa to Atlanta. Tomorrow this time–he’ll be home. And I’m sure […]

my heart is so broken for this family! I am praying for them and for all effected by this loss… there are many I’m sure. So so hard to understand these things this side of heaven…

Just sent a donation. I have to admit I have been nauseous about it since getting the e-mail from Wiphan. I even played the what if he had been in the US game & quickly realized that from my experience in working in hospitals that when it is a person’s time the events will unfold as God had planned no matter the age or circumstances. Still, it doesn’t make it any easier or less painful. It is a bracing reminder of the blessings we have & it is a charge to march on to continue doing God’s work. He shows his face when we are at our lowest & he shines through the pain. Praying for the void to be filled & for God to make sense of such a tragedy.

Praying for his sweet family!

Andrea,
I want you to know that God has brought you, your husband, your family, Labstone, and his family to my mind and heart several times to pray over the past few days. God must have such a special place in His heart for you because I just KNOW I’m not the only one He called to pray on your and Labstone’s behalf. I am lacking the right words at this moment, but His Words never fail, so I’ll just leave a verse here to encourage and strengthen: “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen, but the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Praying the unseen is touchable for you today and that your heart finds the healing it needs as you grieve the loss of a great friend and co-laborer in Christ, yet rejoice at the awesome reunion that’s going to take place on day.
Love from one mama’s heart to another,
Rory
