Swaziland 2016

Our New Year hasn’t kicked off exactly as I planned.  Hahahaha.  Sickies everywhere, but I think we’re on the mend.  I mean, everyone kept down their breakfast so far and Hudson did not wake up in the middle of the night to report to me he thinks he’s dying #asthma, so that’s a solid win in my books.

Our couch cushion is fully exposed because Amon barfed all over it laying face down.  It’s dry clean only, but I was all, screw it!  And threw it in the washing machine.  I’m a rule breaker and oddly enough, not fond of puke all over our couch.

Hard truth learned in 2015:  If you put something up on a pedestal/make it an idol…oh say, like your new Ikea couch, God will most definitely bring that idol crashing down hard and fast via red paint and marker by small lady toddler, ink pen crushed by man husband while sleeping on couch, throw up, throw up and more throw up.  Truth people, truth.

Tomorrow 2016 rolls on in and no one can stop it.  We’ve been dreaming about 2016 and what that may look like…what God has in store.  One thing I’m in hot pursuit of is Swaziland.  I’m itching to get back and see our friends and all those precious kiddos again.  This year was huge for my heart in so many ways and God showed me more than ever if He wants something done, He will do it.  He knocked out the playground fun just like that.  He proved Himself rock solid and showed off completely.  We all just sat in awe and wonder of His greatness.

I was exchanging messages with a lady yesterday about scheduling a Bible journaling class.  She asked to make the payment directly to the Ngungwane garden fund and when I went to pull the link for her there sat the garden fund finished…fully funded.  It’s so crazy awesome to watch God do what only He can do, but also watch Him use our gifts and talents and abilities when we offer them up to Him.

We’re working on gathering our team for our next trip coming up in May…we’re leaving May 28th to be exact.  I’m hoping some of you may come with us.  We’ll be going back to the Ngungwane carepoint again…spending crazy good time with the ladies and kiddos.  You can read about our past trips and what we did below:

That was quite a little walk down memory lane for me.  Makes me a tad weepy.  You guys, God is just good.  And it’s an honor when we get invited into people’s homes and stories.  Just an honor.

So are you interested in going with us?  If so, you can message me HERE or email me at pitterpatterart at gmail dot com  I really hope you will consider it.  Last years trip was crazy good and I made several brand new friends because of it.  Meeting new people is good.  In fact, just this morning Sidney…one of the ladies who went last year who knew not a soul…yeah, well we’re legit friends now and she informed me Target has Swedish Fish Trident gum.  She knows me well.  This is the kind of thing you have to look forward too 🙂

Hope your New Year’s Eve is awesome.  Here’s to all the amazingness 2016 holds.

Happy Thursday.
