THIRST FOR HIM!!!

IN MAY, 2005, I WAS TAKING MY  BRITISH/UGANDA FRIEND,

JILL, AROUND AND ABOUT OUR NATION

 FOR A FEW WEEKS. 

 WE HAD MET ABOUT 1-1/2 YRS EARLIER WHEN THE LORD HAD SENT ME BACK TO UGANDA TO GO TO THE SOROTI SERIOUS SITUATION. JILL WAS A TREAT THERE BOTH AT NEW HOPE UGANDA WHERE WE MET AND A WONDERFUL ENCOURAGER AND WORKER WHEN WE WERE 

IN SOROTI TOGETHER.

 

   AND I WENT TO ENGLAND A FEW MONTHS AFTER I HAD RETURNED HOME, BECAUSE SHE WAS UNDER A SERIOUS SITUATION. 

ONE OF OUR NEW HOPE UGANDA GIRLS

HAD DIED OF CANCER AFTER A STRETCH OF TIME AND 

JILL HAD BEEN ONE OF HER MAIN HELPERS. SHE NEEDED AN EMOTIONAL REST TIME, SO HER CHURCH HAD HER COME HOME AND  STRETCH SOME TIME IN HER 

PORTION OF ENGLAND. THE LORD [AND MY HUSBAND] SENT ME THERE. IT WAS A BLESSING TO BE WITH HER AND HER CHURCH FRIENDS DURING THAT THREE WEEKS.

THEN SHE CAME HERE AND I TOOK HER AROUND AND ABOUT THE WESTERN PORTION OF OUR NATION.  I LEFT OMAHA, OF COURSE, WENT TO THE DENVER AND VAIL AREA OF COLORADO, THEN TO THE UTAH PORTION. AND THEN TO CALIFORNIA AND NORTH UP TO THE NORTHWEST PORTION SO SHE WOULD MEET 

MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS -- AND SEE THE CASCADE MOUNTAINS AND BE ON PACIFIC OCEAN.

  IT WAS A TREAT!

 WHEN I HAD TAKEN HER TO ARCHES NP IN UTAH, AND WE SPENT A NIGHT IN THE NORMAL TOWN NEARBY.  THEN, WALKING UP TO THE DELICATE ARCH PORTION, I WALKED OUT ON THE RIDGE AND SAT LOOKING AT THE ARCH.  I WAS TOO SCARED TO WALK DOWN CLOSER AS MANY PEOPLE DO.  SHE TOOK THIS PHOTO; SHE LOVES TAKING PHOTOS NO MATTER WHERE SHE IS.

WHEN THINKING OF THE WORD TODAY, AND WONDERING WHAT I SHOULD USE, THE ONE OF ME SITTING ON THE ROCK OF DELICATE ARCH AREA JUMPED INTO ME.

 IT WAS A BLESSING TO PUT THAT AND 

THE OTHER PIECES TOGETHER.

NOW I'M SMILING AND SHARING AROUND THE WORLD.

BLESS YOU ALL.
