Rain

First off, thank you so much for the prayers. My Mamaw is in no more pain, and with Lord. I miss her an unbelievable amount, but I am so glad that she is no longer suffering.

Now, I would just like to update you on goings on....because my life is super important...and you should know all about it..........my conceit and pride are pets I have been training lately...ok...bad joke...moving on...

I have had the honour and pleasure of continuing to be able to help out at the Newcastle Christian school twice a week. I have been helping with questions and any sort of excess "paper work" that the teachers have not been able to get to. I have also been giving pointers to the upper class on there dramatic endeavours. It has all been very fun.

Along with doing artsy things with the girls at the Young People's meetings, which meets twice a month, I am trying to get a small Bible study started....maybe...let's pray that works out.

Also, I am helping organize this end of the Holiday Bible Club which will be held August 1st through the 5th (a week after I leave). First Pres in Jackson, MS will be sending a small team to run it, so I will be publicizing for it. Please keep this in your prayers, as it will be an amazing opportunity to reach out to the community.

Well, I suppose that's all for now....

These Tongues that Sing, there Must be Thousands. Make them Stronger, make them More.

Well, here I am.

In Gateshead, England.

Organizing crafts for this coming Young People's meeting, and thinking about the new things I will be doing tomorrow at Newcastle Christian School.
This church and these people are amazing, loving, filled with His love. My hope and prayer is to be of whatever service they need.


In America, across the ocean, and so far away from me are my family. We are in desperate need of prayers, for peace and understanding. My Mamaw has been battling cancer, and it seems that things are almost coming to a close for her in this world. I know that the land which awaits her is vast and glorious, and that she will be pain free and joyous. But right now, I can only feel guilt for not being there. I know that I couldn't do anything, but I still feel that I should be with my family. I also know that I should be here, God called me here, He placed my feet to tread this ground, but the pain of knowing that my family is going through this, that I am going through this...and we aren't together...it hurts. I also know that I am being selfish and prideful, thinking that if I could be there it would be better, and being so concerned with my feelings. So now my prayer is for peaceful and pain free life for my Mamaw. I thank you much for praying mainly for, and also my family at this time.
