A glimpse of Heaven!

So I had my 1st day back!  It was AMAZING!!!
I got to work in the nursery.... you all know how much I love BABIES!!!
There were a few new additions since I left, including the youngest who is only 1 week old.  He is so precious.
Unfortunately I won't be working in the nursery as I am needed for another age group, but I will be sure to stop in on my lunch hour daily!
I'll post a few pictures so you can see how great this is.
I definitely think that when we get to heaven this is what it is going to look like!

UGANDA BOUND for the 2nd time!!!!

Wow, things certainly have changed.  As most of you know I returned home from Uganda January 31st as I was very ill.  After several trips to the emergency room, no one had any idea what was wrong with me, and I had no intentions of ever going back to Africa.  Finally, my test results came back and I was given the proper medication and was well on my way to recovery.  I had spoken with my insurance company about the possibility of me returning to Africa and at the time I was told that they would fly me back if I wanted to.
I was then informed that because of my illness, even with the letter from my Dr stating I was fit to travel and had no more complications, that the insurance company was unwilling to send me back.  I was beyond disappointed.  Then my mother (the mom of all moms) called for me.  She has a way with words!  Finally on the 21st I got a phone call that they had made an exception for me, and would pay for my return trip!  THANK YOU JESUS!!!
Needless to say I am running around like crazy with less than 48 hrs before I leave, trying to pack and get everything I need in order.  Making phone calls, cancelling appointments, and making sure that the twins have everything they need for the next 3 weeks!   


Throughout this entire ordeal, I have prayed and asked God for His will to be done, but I have to say I was so stressed, so worried, so anxious... Then I remembered the following Scripture.

Philippians 4:6,7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD

HE NEVER FAILS!!!
