HE HELPS, I REJOICE. PHILIPPIANS

THIS WAS THE VERSE GIVEN TO ME WHEN I CAME TO THE LORD, APRIL 15, 1966.  OVER THESE YEARS THE LORD HAS PILED THAT VERSE INTO ME, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO BE USED BY THE LORD:

WRITING/TEACHING BIBLE STUDIES FOR YEARS;

WRITING/DIRECTING/ACTING CHRISTIAN PLAYS, MONOLOGUES, AND VBS;

MISSIONARY IN UGANDA FOR A SHORT TIMES SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NOW HEART-BURIED IN THEM AND MY MANY DEAR ONES FOR 23 YEARS;

FIRST RESPONDERS MINISTRY IN OMAHA AT MURDER SITES DURING THIS PAST 5 YEARS;

REST-AREAS AND CITIES AND TOWNS AS I'VE TRAVELED AROUND OUR NATION TO SHARE THE LORD, TO STUDY SPIRITUAL HISTORY IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS AND PROVIDE THE INFO WITH LOCAL PASTORS AND INTERCESSORS, TO ENCOURAGE, PRAY FOR HEALING AND SALVATION WHEN 

"ON THE ROAD AGAIN" FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS.

LAST SUNDAY, I WAS AT THE NEPALESE-BHUTANESE SERVICE.

IN THE PHOTO I AM WITH 3 OF MY BHUTANESE BROTHERS.  RANJIT , ONE OF MY GRANDSONS, WANTED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF ME WITH HIS DAD AND UNCLES. 

WHAT A TREAT.

  

THIS IS NOW THE MAIN EVERYDAY WORK-PART WITH/FOR THE LORD.  AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE LORD TO ALLOW ME TO BECOME A GREAT-GRANDMA, GRANDMA, MOM, SISTER 

FOR MORE THAN 100 OF THE REFUGEES WHO HAVE BEEN IN

MY LIFE THIS PAST 3 YEARS.

WHAT ENCOURAGEMENT!

OVERALL SERVING THE LORD, DOING WHAT HE BURIES IN MY HEART AND SPIRIT. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

OH, AND DAVE IS INVOLVED, TOO, BUT PRESENTLY WE HAVE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT MINISTRIES FOR THE LORD.  WE SIMPLY SUPPORT EACH OTHER WITH WHATEVER THE LORD HAS CALLED US TO DO.   

[MY BODY AND BRAIN AND EMOTIONS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY STRUGGLING.  I'M VERY BLESSED BY THE BHUTANESE, BECAUSE,  NO MATTER HOW I AM, HELPING THEM WHEN THEY MOVE, OR NOT, AVAILABLE FOR ACTIONS AT HOSPITALS OR SERIOUS EVENTS, OR NOT, THEY SHOW SIGNIFICANT LOVE FOR ME -- AND MY HUSBAND.]
