http://notesfromnigeria.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 30, 2008. Aunty Nicky driving the van to Gyero, a village just outside of Jos where many orphan children have been given a new home, a new life and hope for their futures through free education, discipleship, food, clothing, and medical care. Wednesday, May 28, 2008. Of course seeing my kids and my husband most of all was great too (my husband is the one in the middle). The joy of seeing my twins Peter and Paul was so amazing! Today was truly an amazing day! Tuesday, May 27, 2008. And tons of...

Wednesday, October 10, 2007. Some of us from Moody went to Vee-Vee's Nigerian restaraunt last friday. We had such a fun time and everyone loved trying the food.

Notes From Nigeria: November 2007
http://notesfromnigeria.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 05, 2007. I know this was a long time coming and I said I would show pics of my amazing trip to Scotland and Ireland eventually. Well here they are, but certainly not exhaustive. There are many more I could show, but these are the highlights. In Glascow in front of the University Museum. All I can add in my loneliness is, May Heaven's richest blessing come down on every one — American, English, Turk — who will help to heal this open sore of the world. And the cross turns ...The North Ant...

Notes From Nigeria: July 2007
http://notesfromnigeria.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 29, 2007. Neither here nor there. I was in the grocery store the other day and felt a terrible feeling come over me. How could I have all this food when so many people in Nigeria are going hungry? Tears came streaming down. It's not fair. Things have come into perspective for me like never before. I have a clearer understanding of wants and needs. At this point most things come under the category of want. I praise God for all that he daily provides for me. I hope it's the former. Many of you...

Notes From Nigeria: Spring of Life
http://notesfromnigeria.blogspot.com/2008/08/dying-to-live.html
Sunday, August 10, 2008. By being at the feet of him who died for me, by falling on my knees and bowing to the one who bowed his head and said "it is finished! When I count the cost of the cross at Calvary I cannot help but come away changed and satisfied. But whoever drinks of the water I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life!

http://notesfromnigeria.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 17, 2007. This morning while in line at Starbucks I caught a caption on the front page of this mornings Chicago Tribune. The caption read Congo: anguish far exceeds aid. I love the group Selah. They grew up in the Congo as missionary kids. They sing many Congolese songs and this one is especially dear to me:. Yesu azali awa na biso. Jesus is here with us). Yesu azali awa na biso. Biso toko komo kuna. We are going there). Biso toko komo kuna. Biso toko koma kuna na lola. Join me as I jour...

Notes From Nigeria: July 2008
http://notesfromnigeria.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 05, 2008. Do I really love people because I love Jesus and he calls me to love, or because they can benefit me in some way? I am searching my heart on that currently. For now I give my hurt heart to Jesus and ask him to mend it and help me let go of those that hurt me. I am sure there are many people that I have hurt and I don't even know it. May God forgive me for the selfishness in my heart and help give me a heart that simply loves. with no strings attached. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Notes From Nigeria: August 2007
http://notesfromnigeria.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 20, 2007. After many weeks of saying goodbye and tons of tears,. Many visitors and people praying God's blessing over me,. 10 days of travelling,. 3 different countries,. 5 currencies and much anticipation. How can I erase the memories of dancing with the VVF women, speaking Hausa with people, holding my beautiful HIV babies, seeing James grow, sharing the gospel with Isa and Abrahim on the streets? How can I tell you of all that I have seen, heard and witnessed with my very eyes? Thursday...
