Pathetic Packing

As others returned to Grenada I attempted to console myself with things like..."well at least I don't have to do this and that...mainly buy and pack many things for everyone and their brother and sister." Here I am...doing the despised thing. PACKING. I am accustomed to having a list of items under demand to take with me when I travel. This trip is not the case. Take whatever you want is what I am told. I am not sure what I like better now that I am on this side. I don't know what people need in Uganda. What will a baby, kids, ladie's homes need? After much grabbing and spending the stuff was accumulating and needed to be packed away instead of cluttering the basement. 


Do I have enough?  What else? I am sure when I reach there I will know exactly but oh well. 

I cannot forget some Starbucks. Whether I will have the ability to make it I have not a clue but I will make something work!
 Only a week and I am out of here. I am super excited but the other day I caught myself with this thought.."I wonder if I will get homesick?" Who in their right mind thinks that after living away from home for 3 years and never experiencing that. Some days I wonder if a psychologist might be a good idea!

and an evening out for supper with the younger half of the family!

When I Grow Up

My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp
