Sam's mission trip

Sam is headed to Burundi to spread the word of God; please support her financially  n in prayer

I am happy to announce that the official count down has begun!

In less than 5 weeks I will be on my way to Bujumbura Burundi! As of today my tickets have been purchased, we will be traveling from Philadelphia to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Nairobi, Kenya and from Kenya to Burundi. Though we leave on Friday July 22nd, we will be traveling over 17 hours to get to our destination. Our team is slated to arrive in Burundi on Sunday July 24th at 2:00am. Talk about an amazing race!

You know when I initially signed up for this trip we were going to Zimbabwe. However, about 2 months into the planning it became apparent to the leaders that God was re-directing them to Bujumbura Burundi instead.  Although the mid-way change was startling to some, I believe that God's ways are often not our ways which is sometimes hard for us to understand. So as the plans and redirection efforts are now targeted towards Burundi, where there has been some political unrest, God is already showing his favor. Last month our on the ground team was invited to meet with His Excellency Pierre Nkurunziza. During the visit he shared his desire for healing and restoration to his country. Already God has granted us favor with the President as he wanted us to know that he welcomes us to Burundi. Just hearing this piece of news should make you excited – your prayers and gifts are not in vain.

Thank you for your continued prayers not only for myself and my local team but for Burundi!

it reads:

expressions of ones individuality poised with the sensual woven silk on soft shaven skin beauty and grace present like seconds in synchronized time  Smile radiant with charm sweet sharp and very present like the taste of lime squeezed directly on ones tongue  Love passion and transcendence present in the gaze piercing like a sudden sharp pain brief but present like a prong brand

expressions of ones individuality exceeds all comparability Uniqueness present like light illuminating a dark room like flowers in spring when they bloom Complexion so subtle smooth and present like a rainbow after an afternoon rain

with you my life so present like LOVE ........................

CowaBunga ~ 5th Birthday Fun

Last week Saturday 2/13/16 we were knee deep in TMNT world....... it was the celebration and party for Ore's birthday! Ore whose birthday is in December wanted to celebrate his birthday with friends and family in January, but at-last that was the #blizzardof2016 weekend and everyone was grounded :-) we were happy to be invited to celebrate in February with him.

the party stated at 2PM, it was by far the coldest day in the year so far in Philadelphia, but you could not tell that to the kids. the hall was decorated in true TMNT colors, Lime green and all the elements to make the room look perfect.

we had a face painter, and balloonist, all the kids were excited to eat pizza; drink sodas and juice and we played multiple games including the always famous musical chairs.
the adults were not left out. they were given crayons, coloring paper and activity books ;like the kids..... they were encouraged to find their inner child. the high points were the adult musical chairs for which we had a tie!

i know Ore had a great time at his party; so did we!

thanks Love we are looking forward to your 10th birthday party :-)

Love Series 2016 - 7 Days of Love in the windy city

 My Most Memorable Valentine:

When was this? 

It was in February 2010, I wouldn't just say Valentines day because I got gifts from February 12th through February 18th.  

Did you give or receive the Valentine? 

I received  the Valentine gifts ..........

Set the Stage for us

I received gifts 2 days before valentines day: on the first day i got a delivery of flowers, and on the second day i received a box of chocolate covered strawberries.  Both gifts came with a note signed "your secret admirer.

Being a Lady, i was focused on receiving a gift from the guy i was "seeing" on valentines day it's self,  February 14th,  i did not pay too much attention to the secret admirer although i was curious. 

I spoke to my friend daily, multiple times a day and he never mentioned he was my "secret admirer" or asked if i got anything delivered. 

What happened? Who was there? 

On February 14th at 12:01 AM he called to wish me Happy Valentine's day. He said i was his wife to be (as i rolled my eyes), he also told me stories about Saint Valentine. I wasn't really interested in the stories but i listened to him (because i enjoyed talking to him) and we also confirmed plans to go out to dinner later that day. During the day at work, the reception signed for a delivery. It was another set of fresh flowers. My colleagues were curious to know who sent them. 

At this point, I knew they were from him (the guy i was seeing) and I couldn't wait to get off work. During dinner i realized he was my "secret admirer" and had sent the Pre-Valentines  Day Flowers and Chocolate Covered Strawberries. He had thought that i would have told him about the gifts from Mr. Secret Admirer.  

Did i mention that he sent gifts for 4 days after Valentines day?

Why was it memorable for you? 

I had never received gifts 7 days in a row, that was a first for me...... I Loved it! 

Anything else you would like to share with our readers?

Let's just say Valentine's day 2010 and other activities & factors that year made me consider dating this person. I don't regret doing so because I wake up everyday to see his handsome face beside me.
