Do Not Move

The devil wants me to be shaken.  The devil wants my faith to falter. He wants my trust in you to be broken.  He wants me to move.  He wants me to budge.  He wants me to step away from your will.  He wants to shake me up. But I DON'T WANT TO MOVE.  I will not.  I refuse to be shaken.  I refuse to be moved by him.  The one who ravages this world with evil, hatred, greed, entitlement, abuse, sickness, destruction is the SAME ONE who HAS to bow before you because of YOUR name.  King Jesus, I will not move.  I will not be shaken.


I am a sinner, redeemed and set free, who reflects your LOVE, your POWER, and your RIGHTEOUS ANGER for the orphan.



However, wherever, you want me to fulfill my call, I'll do it.  My life is yours.  I belong to you.  Your sacrifice set ME free, so my life will be a sacrifice for you.  It doesn't make sense to other people, but it's not supposed to. I am foreign in this land.  I am living in a world that I can't call home.  A place surrounded by hatred, evil, wretch, filth, brokenness.  This world is evil. This world is ravaged by Satan, but I am not.

I am YOUR vessel. The one you chose to remind GENERATIONS of people that your name is worth remembering. To remind them that we were all orphans, but you saved us. To remind people that your name is the only one that promises eternal life. To remind them that living their lives with only themselves in mind will result in an eternity of hell. To remind them that only your name can give peace, life, love, worthiness, faithfulness, and trust. You chose me so that I would choose YOU when I don't understand why things of this world happen.

You chose me to reflect YOUR truth. To reflect YOU.

And rescue is coming. Thank you Lord.



"I will not be moved. I don't think I could. I don't want to move. And I don't think I should.  I don't want to move. No, I don't want to move. I don't want to move. And I don't think I could.

The costliest of costs.
The deadliest of loss
The wonder of the cross
The Breath of life that stops
The hope of heaven bought
The wonder of the cross
The wonder of the cross"

Behold, I will send you Elijah...

I have an amazing story to tell you about a little boy. He turned 4 years old this week. He is a sweet, smart, and precious boy who is already displaying the Lord's glory. When he was about a year and 6 months old, he was admitted into the hospital because of malnutrition and abandonment.   An  orphanage stepped in to care for him when no one else could. Overtime, all his friends and the housemothers knew him as a joyful boy—even though his circumstances did not seem joyful.   Although he lived in an orphanage and was taken care of, he didn't have the one-on-one parenting, love, and support he should have had by his birth parents.   He stayed in the orphanage for almost 2 years. During this time, not one family member visited him. I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet boy when I visited an orphanage one weekend in January. He was the happiest one of them all.   He ran and played with a huge smile on his face.   His personality and ...

A Humbled Explorer

Today was an incredible day for me. I worked with the Education Department Head here in Zambia as we traveled around to different LCA's bringing them supplies. Because it's the new school year, the cleaning supplies were running out, so we went to several communities--Chilenje, Mtendere, and Kalingalinga--to get cleaning rags, detergent, toilet tissue, wax for the floors, and some soap. Just for your knowledge, it takes a while to get places in Lusaka. First of all, the roads are congested with traffic. Secondly, all the roads aren't paved, especially in the communities, so you are dodging pot holes and people to get down the road. Needless to say, it took a while for us to collect the supplies and drive out to the 3 LCA's we visited. Along the way, I got to know my new coworker a little better. One question I asked him was: did you know you would ever work for an organization like Family Legacy? He answered no and went on to say that after grade 12 he went in...

Moving to Africa

Well, I wrote up this great informational blog last night, and wouldn't you know... not only did it not post, but it didn't even save. Sooo heres a recap: Yesterday I landed safe and sound with the Hugheys around 7. The airport wait was cramped, hot, humid, and looong, but we made it. First you have to go through immigration, which took about 40 minutes, then we got all of our bags, another 15 minutes, then we waited for customs to check everything we were carrying into Zambia, another 25 minutes. The Zambians shooed me along, but the Hugheys got stuck at baggage check. Unfortunately, with the 6 of them, they had too many bags to carry in. After about thirty more minutes, Erin (the mom) walked out of the airport with some unfortunate news. Every one of their trunks had to stay at the airport where they were opened, searched, and each item counted...for every single one. (we're talking about twenty to twenty five boxes... crazy. But, our amazing Zambian senior staff s...
