Me

Take a break from all the plans that you have made and sit alone at home and wait for God to whisper. Beg Him please to open up His mouth and speak and pray for real upon your knees until they blister... Jimmy Needham

NEPHEWS...

My sister-in-law, Kristal, often tells me things that my nephew, Tate, says.  Being so far from my little guys has ripped my heart out at times.  I get to Skype with them a couple of times a month and sometimes once a week.  Back in August and September when I Skyped with Tate, he would say stuff like, "Aunt Sara, can you just get in your car and come over?"  Almost in tears, I would respond, "Tate, I can't, it's too far.  I live in Cambodia."  4 year-old Tate knows I live in Cambodia and He even knows I came here to tell people about Jesus.  Kristal says that sometimes Tate will say, "Aunt Sara is in Cambodia, telling people about Jesus."  My heart melts when I hear that, and I pray that the Lord uses me in my feeble attempts to tell people about Jesus.  Because I know how weak I am, and I know how often I miss opportunities to tell people about Jesus.  The reality is that I'm here because God brought me here to show me His great work and allow me to be a part of it.  A few months ago, Tate said something like, "Yeh... Aunt Sara used to be my best friend... but I know she is coming back in the summer time to play with me."  Just the other day, Kristal said that out of the blue Tate said, "Mom I can't wait for June, because it's my birthday and Aunt Sara will be here."  Ohhhh!  It makes me cry.  I treasure my family and I'm so thankful for them in my life!  The Lord has overflowed my cup with an amazing family.
