My baby girl

My baby girl is heading to Africa--Uganda in particular...she is doing her semester abroad there. It is SO far away! But, this is everything she has dreamed of, hoped for, and prayed about, for many years--and now it is coming true. I have known for years that this would happen, and even now it feels so right. But, it feels so
BIG! Africa is FAR! So please be praying as we prepare for this journey, and this time apart. Not only will she be studying at the University there for the Spring semester, she will also be staying on to serve in a short term mission project. These are all wonderful and amazing opportunities, and we praise the Lord for His guidance, provision, and blessings.

MY STORY

My name is Val, and I am a Christian woman, wife, and mom. I have been married for 24 years to my dear husband Craig. We have 4 children ranging in age from 17-23. The oldest three are in college...2 seniors and a sophomore. Our youngest is a high school senior. I am also a military mom. Our oldest son is a sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserves. He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2004-2005. Our youngest is headed to Marine Boot camp in June. We thank ALL our military men and women who so faithfully serve to guard and protect us every day.

I love the Lord with all my heart. I am seeking to serve Him in the way I think, speak, act...I am more and more convinced of the work He still needs to do in me!

I have been dealing with health challenges for years now, and pray that God can use them to help me help others. I am willing to share my experience at any time, with anyone who could benefit. I have a history of Pheochromocytoma, Neurofibromatosis (NF1), Thyroid tumors, and Hypoglycemia. Although it sounds like a lot, it is amazing how the Lord can help one to learn to take one moment at a time--I have learned so much about trusting and obeying my Lord--

" The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Deut. 31:8

I have been merely walking through the valley...on a journey to a better place! Maybe here on earth--DEFINITELY in Heaven! May God bless you as you read my journal. Please do comment..I am eager to know of your journey too!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The pathway is broken
And The signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why You brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to

Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
so if all of these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will go through the fire
If You want me to

It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone

So When the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the darkness If You want me to

When I cross over Jordan, I'm gonna sing, gonna shout
Gonna look into your eyes and see you never let me down
So take me on the pathway that leads me home to you
And I will walk through the valley if you want me to

Yes, I will walk through the valley if you want me to
