BE MINISTERED IN THE IN BETWEEN...

A week from now, Lord willing, I will be back stateside in the loving arms of my family.  God couldn’t have planned a better week than the one we have just experienced.  A lot of work, YES, but the seeds that were planted and eternal investment made makes it all worthwhile.    

All of us here at FNC want to thank The Crossing team for their servant hearts and encouragement this past week.  As usual, the week went by to fast, with everyone wishing they had more time together.  Kory, Katie, Bruce, Mardy, Kim, Tom, Chaka, and Spencer, you ALL were more than conquerors, and if I might add, well done!  Your fingerprints will forever be upon us here at FNC Uganda. 

As Wendy and I and the girls have begun our new “normal” stateside, many questions have been asked, but the one that “takes the cake” is, “So what’s next for you…what’s your plan for the foreseeable future?” 

Let me take a moment and be transparent with all of you that follow The Kissing Well and the mission of FNC Academy.  The past two years have been more than challenging for us, in fact I wouldn’t want to re-live them, honestly.  Because of this, we are taking some time to be ministered to.  For the girls, they are back in public school, and for the record are doing outstanding!  They have re-kindled old relationships and are making new ones.  Wendy decided she wanted to become a substitute at our nearby school, which is keeping her not only busy, but helps her  continue to be in the classroom, which in turns helps out the mission here at the academy. 

For me, well I’ve been doing some subbing as well, and also continuing to raise awareness of The Kissing Well, encouraging and with the help of Wendy maintaining the daily’s of FNC Uganda. Wendy and I continue to skype with Michael and the team twice a week, continuing to lead out in the areas we can.  But the most important thing that God has allowed me to do, is to start seeing a counselor.  I’ve leaned on and continue to reach out to several key people in my life, and for that I want to say thank you to all of you…you know who you are.  As I began to seek counsel from my dear friends, I was sensing my heart telling me I might consider seeing a professional…one that might be able to help me figure out the way forward for not just myself, but for my family.  And can I tell you what…he has already begun to help me think about things I’d never thought about.  I just spill it, and he listens…then at that perfect moment, he purposes a life question?  So then I think, and then I talk some more.  For now, I won’t reveal the question he has had me been chewing on this past two weeks I’ve been in Uganda…all I can say is, it was a real game changer.  I look forward to seeing him again this month.   

I love you guys, and as life continues, Wendy and I covet your prayers.
