Going to Target

 I LOVE going to Target. It is three turns from our house and it is an excellent escape from the day to day stuff. Do you remember what my favorite toy is? That is right, a ball. I love the big red balls that are in front of Target. If I am good, Mom lets me touch one on the way in and on the way out.

    When we are in Target I get to see lots of bright colors and different shapes. My favorite part, other than seeing the red ball, is seeing all the people. I love waving and making people smile. Are you being the type of person that make others smile? Are you sweet and kind to those you meet? We all need to be Jesus to those around us.
   
I will be praying that wherever you go, you will bring joy to other people. Whether you are in Target, at school, at home or in Uganda, show others Jesus’ love.

Pray for me as we are starting our big travels to PA, IN, MI, KY and FL. We will be gone a month. For details or our trip you'll have to look at mom and dad's blog. I don't care about the details, its not like I get a say... I just get strapped in and taken. I am excited about the trip but there will be lots of hours in the car seat. Pray for my patience and mom's attitude, she gets cranky being in the car. Keep checking back, I will post pictures from our travels.

Making New Friends


Over the past few months I have made LOTS of new friends. I got to visit Grace Bible Fellowship and meet the boys and girls who go to Discovery Cove. They let me play with the blow up globe and they had excellent questions.


Next I played with the kids who came for Logos at Wiley Church in Marlton, NJ. They were excellent soccer players. The kids in St. Peter’s of Ocean City welcomed me with open arms after the holidays. I played with a ball of yarn as they sang songs and learned about our ministry in Africa. I gave them each a piece of yarn and a prayer card to help them remember me.

I will be visiting Pitman UMC this coming Sunday. I am so excited. Mom and Dad made lots of good connections there, I can’t wait to meet the kids. In February I will get to go to Evangelical United Methodist in Clarksboro, NJ. God has been so good to give me so many friends who love me and pray for me regularly.

Each night I pray too. Is there anything I can be praying for you about?

Christmas

Christmas was great! It was so wonderful in fact, that I forgot to blog about it. I got all my favorite things again. My family is great. We have had a week at home to catch up from all the travel and craziness of the holidays. Things have settled back down.

All settled down till yesterday. There was happiness, disappointment, crying, prayers, excitement and rejoicing. Let's just say there were a lot of emotions. I don't really know all the details. Something about God not providing the way Mom has been praying, then God providing in ways bigger than Mom could've imagined. You'll have to read Dad and Mom's blog for the details, but Aunt Kelly said it well, "God gets us from A to B but sometimes goes by Q to get us there." SO praise Jesus we are at B.
