My HUGE Surprise

Have you ever felt so much gratitude for someone that you did not even know how to express yourself?? As many of you know, an amazing family made it possible for me to return to America to surprise my family. I did not spend one dime for my ticket and the sweet time I had going home was a gift that I will remember for the rest of my life.

To the family who did this for me… Thank you and may you be forever blessed by your graciousness!

I arrived in Atlanta and had asked my brother to pick me up from the airport.  He did an amazing job keeping a secret!  Thank you Tod!

My first surprise was when I walked into his home and was able to surprise my sister-n-law. She did as I expected- her mouth dropped open and then her hands flew up over her mouth. It was then great to receive a huge hug.

She was the camera... We did not get a picture together :(

From there we headed to the school where my nephew Robby had a football game. He was on the field but so was his older brother Bo. I stood at the fence and looked at Bo straight in the face. I normally do not wear sun glasses and was wearing them so this did throw him off a little; however, the stare and him trying to figure out how someone could look so much like his aunt was so funny. It became hilarious when he began walking backwards biting on his fingernail just looking at me… then it clicked… it is my Aunt Connie!

I had been waiting for the moment to throw my arms around my mom. I knew she would be at the ballgame so I started a few rows behind where she would be sitting with the hope that she would see me when she walked up… no luck there. I then walked down and sat 2 rows in front of her thinking she would catch a glimpse of me…. No luck there either. My sister-n-law was down at the fence taking pictures. We all wave as she takes a picture. I then turn and look at my mom and smile and she smiles back…. Again no luck there either.

 

My laughter is now a bit uncontrollable. My nephew and I both are cracking up but with such anticipation for her to see me. Well, a little help from my brother and this was her first couple moments after she saw me…….

It was everything and more that I wanted it to be. I cannot express the joy that filled my heart hugging my mom and just being in her presence.

Robby who is on the field was pretty quick. We all yell at him and wave and he waves turns around and then does that fast speed rip his head back around as we notice that it has clicked that I am there.

I did not get a picture with him that night, but here he is.

Next is Joel, another nephew. I again am sitting in front to him. I look at him several times and every time I look directly at him, he turns to talk to someone else. When it finally clicked, he busted down and threw his whole body in my lap…. Again laughter and tears flowed.

I know we look like Ken and Barbie.

Half time has come and we move on to the concession stand where my brother-n-law and 2 nieces are working. I wait in line for some time and they have now all looked at me and not noticed. A little girl asked me if I wanted something and when I asked if the cheese or pepperoni pizza was better the 2 girls busted out the door and more tears began to flow. It was amazing!

From there we do everything we can to keep my older sister at Five Guys where she is ordering dinner. Poor girl, she has now been to the counter three different times to order and all she wants to do is get home. I make it there just in time and when I walk in… her words from the start… “SHUT UP!” And yes once again, tears come.

We did not have a camera to capture the surprise, but here is my big sister whom I adore!

I think one of the saddest yet sweetest moment was when Jonah her son walks in and though he is glad to see me, his heart is so sad that his BFF my son Silas in not there with me.

 

I am sure that this is what my nephew Jonah felt until he realized that Silas was not with me.

We head back to the house and I decide to just bust in the room where my little sister and niece are… the niece I have not yet met. She was much the same as my older sister…”SHUT UP!” And yes, the tears flow. I then have the greatest joy in meeting my new niece and sitting in the presence of my baby sister and my family.

Susie- Why in the world do we not have a picture together where you can see our faces???

Lastly, my brother-n-law Eric walks through the door and by that time it is just laughter. Can I even begin to relive and tell you the joy and excitement that filled my heart that day! I LOVE my family!

I think this in and of itself is a sweet story, but the best part of this story is how down to each detail, God gave this to me as a gift. It was so detailed that I honestly feared that I was coming home because something bad was going to happen that I needed to be there for. The Father knew that I needed a time of rest, that I needed to spend some long overdue time with my family. I had prayed months back about going home this particular week because I knew that school was out and so many of my family members work in the school system. I just cannot express just how special I felt cradled in the arms of God through his presence and this gift. Others were gracious and God so blessed.

Gabriella's Big News!!!

I totally get why the Word tells us to have faith like children…

Gabriella is naturally expressive and very passionate about things. She has been passionate about Jesus and the truth of who He is honestly since she could talk. She has wanted to ask Jesus into her life for some time now. I kept putting this off just due to her being so young and wanting to make sure that she understood. Chris and I have both had conversations with her and she knows and believes the truth, but again we have just waited – well due to our lack of faith because she is 4. Well, yesterday she was done with me putting her off until she, daddy, and I could talk once again….this is her salvation story!

“Mommy, I know that you are having your Bible time and I am not allowed to talk to you, right?” That’s right Gabriella. “Well, I have a reeeeaaaalllly important question.” What is it Gabs? “When do I get to have my Bible time?” We will do that tonight. “Well, I want to talk about becoming a Christian really bad. I do not want to wait for Daddy.” Ok let mom finish my Bible time and we will talk about it. “Well mom, I am just going to ask Jesus in my heart right now.” Ok so the girl is ready and this time I am not going to stop the spirit of God from moving in her life… I put my Bible study down and asked….Gab, tell me why you want to ask Jesus in your heart and be a Christian so bad? “Jesus died on the cross for my sins. Sin is my bad choices and I do not like to make bad choices. He was on the cross and he died. His mom was Mary and she was so sad and she cried. Mom, no one even gave Him medicine at all. His Father who is in heaven just breathed like this (she put her hands to her mouth and blew) and brought Him back to life. No one even helped Him it was only His Father. Really? Wow Gab.. Where is Jesus now if He came back to life? “He is in heaven with His Father but they are the same God too.” What about us? I thought that someone was going to stay here and help us? “That is the other God, but He is the same too… like the other 2 Gods.” Gab, why do you want to ask Jesus into your life? “Mommy, because I want to be with God really bad and I do not want to make bad choices anymore.”

Needless to say, we got on our knees and my sweet baby girl prayed from the depths of her soul and gave her life to Jesus!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

So I Have a Middle School-er!

Samuel is a super special kid. Two weeks ago, I had a total flash back of the day I delivered. Samuel was 2 weeks early, my labor and delivery was amazing, and here we had this sweet baby boy. Looking back I remember almost feeling like I was in a daze; yet, at the time I did not realize that really I was sick and fighting an infection. Within 45 minutes my sweet newborn baby was whisked away and taken to NICU to be evaluated. My sister who had been down this same road with her son noticed that he was grunting when he would breath.

Within 2 hours we were told that he was being admitted into the NICU and they were going to take some blood and see if they could determine if there was any infection. His breathing continued to get worse and it seemed that from that moment everything went downhill from there. In less than 24 hours I was told that I have a very sick baby and that he was in critical condition.

I had been to the doctor a couple days before my labor had begun because I thought that my fluid had been leaking. I knew in cases like these it is very dangerous because it is an open door for infection. They did a sonogram and said that my fluid level was ok so they were not concerned. Little did we know that during this time, my baby was getting very sick.

On day number 2 we were numb and not understanding what in the world was happening to us and to our baby. We were told that he had not been showing any signs of improvement and he actually had continued to decline. They had given him drugs to temporarily paralyze him because they needed his body at a complete state of rest. They felt his heart and lungs were working overtime and so they did not want any stimulation of his body at all. I was able to put one finger on him, but was not even to move my finger. The only emotion possible for me at that time was total dependence on God. It was because I believed in Him that I could get out of bed despite the intense pain that I was feeling.

We get to night 2 and we are told that our baby needed to be transported by ambulance to Egleston Children’s Hospital. We were told that there was a machine there called Ecmo. It is really used for a last resort procedure because it is very invasive. It is a heart and lung bypass. From what I understood at the time, they put a tube in the side of the neck and basically use this machine to work as your heart and lungs to give your heart and lungs time to rest and hopefully strengthen them. YUCK is right, but if it meant saving my baby’s life, we will take it.

The prepared him for the transport and my mom prepared to follow the ambulance and take Chris and I to the hospital. Of course my mom could not drive fast enough as the anxiety mounted in my entire body. We got there quite a bit after Samuel did and anxiously waited in the NICU waiting room for someone to come and give us an update…. This tall woman walks out. She has short hair and is wearing no make-up and really looks more like a man than a woman. Right off the bat, I was not feeling this great sense of compassion from her. She introduces herself and has us sit down. She sits in front of us with her legs spread and almost resting on her knees with her elbows, and begins to give us an update.

Samuel did not do very well during the transport. It was rough on his body, but we have him hooked up to the every machine imaginable, IV’s in place, etc and we have him stabilized for now. We will watch him through the night and make a decision about what is the next best step for him. She then looked me in the eye and said, “Your son can not get any more sick, or he WILL DIE!” My response, “What I am supposed to do with that information?”

She encouraged us to go home and get some rest and to call or come back early in the morning. I remember going home and falling apart and then crashing. I remember waking up in the middle of the night and found Chris calling radio stations asking if they would ask people to pray for our son. We could not ask too many to be standing in the gap for his life. We knew that it would only be the hand of God that saved our child.

We returned to the hospital the next morning to be greeted by an angel. We had a nurse that was assigned to watch Samuel 24/7. She was short with black hair and glasses and could not have been more gracious to me not only having a sick baby, but being a new mom as well. She had made him a name tag above his bed. It was one of those sweet babies that was made to look like a snail and had his name below it. Her words were, “Samuel can move as slow as a snail as long as he moves in the right direction.” She explained every machine and said that he was still very, very sick, but again stable.

At that moment, I knew that the more I appreciated each person the better care they will give my son. I tried to respect every wish they had and not to be demanding of anything. Every time we would leave the room I thanked them, let them know that we appreciated them, and asked them to pray for our baby.

Well, he not only made it, but made it without Ecmo. I believe with all my soul that God touched his life and healed him physically. We signed all kinds of waivers as some of the treatment could have some very severe side effects. To this day, we thank God for touching his body and love that he is still with us today and healthy as can be! As much as I am trying to handle this whole middle school thing, I know God has a great purpose for his life and cannot wait to see how God will use him!

Courageous!!

This picture was taken rigft before they headed to the airport heading back to Atlanta!

Courageous is the first things that comes to my mind when I think about Joanna! We are putting out a major call for prayer and blessing for her. Joanna has been to Burkina several years in a row and we were blessed to have the opportunity to serve with her this past June. She has an amazing spirit, beautiful smile, heart for ministry, natural ability, and willingness to be lead by the Spirit of God. I LOVE being married, but I hate that I was so consumed with being married that I did not open myself up to being used by the Lord during my single years.

As you may be aware… I am not a home schooling mom. I so loathed the thought of home school that I told Chris while we were dating- yes pre-kids that if he wanted a wife that home schooled… it was not going to be me. For the record, I am a mom that supports home school 100%. I in fact, am jealous of the moms who do this and do it well. Seriously, each home school mom in my book has a hero metal to wear proudly.

Well, would it not be the case that God would have some type of home schooling in my future. Thanks Lord! In the past 6 months I have given up the right to not be a home school mom. Have not held back my feelings from the Lord, but have truly surrendered to walking in obedience even if that meant home school. During this time, the Lord made it very clear to Chris and I that we were to take this next year with Samuel and home school him. As the Lord revealed this to our hearts, we asked Samuel to be in on this process and asked the Lord to give Samuel a peace about this as well. …. He did!

We felt like God was asking us to take this time and invest in Samuel on so many more levels than schooling. He is a neat kid and is at the fresh I am starting middle time when so many things change. In thinking through what God wanted us to do over this next year, I really felt like God was asking me to do this home school part by myself. I really felt encouraged to look for someone that God would call to come and help us in this process. Well, I feel like we were blessed beyond what we could have imagined. After asking Joanna to just pray, I honestly was shocked when she responded. Not because she would not be obedient to God’s calling, but that God would give us greater than what we were praying for. We were asking for a teacher that would love our children and model Godly character. We are getting a teacher that is that and so much more.

Please pray for her. We are praying fishes and loaves as we know and have seen how God provides in times of need. We hate raising our support and we know the mindless energy that it takes . Our prayer is that Joanna will have every dime either given or committed as soon as possible. If her funds are there, she plans to come in January. Our prayer is that the months leading up to her arrival she will not have to focus on finances; rather, she will be able to prepare mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for this next chapter in her life.

Many people want to give financially but often feel like with their own financial plate, it is just not possible. Many have mentioned that they feel bad sending a $10.00 check because it seems so small and they feel embarrassed so it is easier not to give at all. PLEASE do not let that stop you. When 10 people give $10.00- that is $100.00. I am asking that you stop right now and prayerfully consider supporting Joanna. Take the money you would spend going out to dinner just one time this month and help her, help us, faithfully serve here in Burkina Faso.

To support Joanna financially: You can give a one-time donation or you can commit to a monthly donation. If you would like to do this, you can write a check to Engage Burkina with her name written in the memo line. You can send the check to Engage Burkina at 3522 Hiram Acworth Highway, Dallas, GA 30157. If you choose to make a monthly commitment, please include a note informing Engage Burkina that you would like to give a monthly donation and what that amount will be.

From my heart....

I adore these guys!!!  Just because picture...

Matt Wilmington did a sermon several years back and talked about his families mission statement. I really wanted to do something like this with my family but also desired a personal mission statement as well. One big confession for me is that many times God might put something on my heart and then I move forward with a right heart but get side tracked on a marketing view. It has been years and “I” have not come up with my personal mission statement because there was not anything that “I” could come up with that reflected my heart’s desire and sounded fluff and catching!

Fast forward to this past week…. I am in the middle of my time with the Lord. I am asking God to manifest himself in my life and may the fruits of the spirit be evident. I began asking the Lord once again as He knows my heart to give me a personal mission statement. One that reflects my heart, two-something I could share with others and it point them to him, and three- one that He inspires. After a gentle rebuke, I felt like this was a crash and burn attempt last time because I took my eyes off him and took the controls in trying to formulate the words of my mission statement. This particular time, I committed to wait on the Lord.

Seriously all the while I am praying this song is in my mind. I continue to move forward after prayer with more of my study and I find myself singing out loud… “To love the Lord our God, is the heart beat of our mission.” Talk about a stop dead in my tracks… Lord, in the past I did not use just a scripture verse as the heart beat of my mission because (and I say with shame) it was not fluffy and did not have this cutting edge sound. In my mind I needed a flashy statement that reflected the verse I would use. For the record, I love when people seeking God can put together something and in such a way that it could be used as a bill board…. so this is in no way a negative to those that God has gifted in this way or spoken to in this way!

OK so the Lord did not literally speak but He so spoke to my heart. Connie, I want you to stand on the basis to Love me with all your mind, soul, heart, and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself. My very first thought was loving you Lord will be way easier than loving my neighbor. I then began to meditate on this verse… yep another confession not knowing where it was in the Word…. To love God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. This does not just mean to practice the expression of love as a feeling. Loving means Obeying!Trusting!Following!Honoring! and oh how the list go on. Then to love my neighbor as I love myself. I do love myself and want the best for me so even when someone rips me up, cuts me off in traffic, makes a stupid choice, hurts my kid,- Connie love them. Seriously think of all this verse means…WOW I honestly want to live this way.

So I finish my Bible study and then later take some time to find out the reference of this scripture. This verse is mentioned 3 times that I could find in the new testament. First, in Matthew- When asked which is the greatest commandment of the law. Second in Mark- When Jesus says there is no commandment greater than this. Third, in Luke when Jesus says, “Do this and you will live.”

So for all to know, I believe that God has given me a mission statement for my life;

To: Connie

Love the Lord Your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with your strength, and with all your mind, and “Love your neighbor as yourself.” -Luke 10:27

From: God

To take this a step further, I believe that God was asking Chris and I to talk to our kids about a family mission statement. Be ready… I am so excited to share with you what God is doing in our home and how He is speaking to our kids and giving them scripture that they want to bring to life in the lives of our family!

A Big Fish Out Of Water...... AND Loving It!

So I think I just had my first official girl’s night out since I have been in Africa. I have to start by bragging just a little bit on Jesus. He placed this amazing vision on the heart of a woman here in Burkina to help girls/teens in crisis. She prayed for years and the doors never opened. She did not allow the lack of an open door to end her praying. Due to the war in Ivory Coast- 8 years back, God moved Steve and Amy Nehlson to Burkina. An amazing family!! Who ever knew that God would connect these two women to come together and start this amazing ministry….. The Dorcus House!

Currently there are I6 girls that are living at the Dorcus House. These girls will capture your heart and mostly due to the fact that they glow. One of the things that I have expressed since living here is that I hate that I do not see people smile very often. Maybe I am just not at the right place at the right time, but I have had to work at times to pull a smile out of people. These girls walk in a room and they light it up with their smiles. I believe this is because they truly have a deep appreciation and love for the Lord. When you are saved from much, I think gratitude goes to a whole new level.

So a little about this ministry… They run an amazing program. Just a few things they are doing for these girls… First- They are loving them and giving them Jesus. Second- They are loving them more and giving them Jesus. Third- They are watching lives change as these girls surrender their lives to the Lord. They have regular prayer and bible study. They all have responsibilities in cleaning and cooking on a rotation basis. They are being taught to read and write French which brings so much value in and of itself. They have learned how to make purses that are amazing. They know how to make soap and are learning to sew clothing. They have been given a gift. They are being taught a trade that after leaving, they will have skills to return home and use to look for work. There is no doubt that God is doing some amazing things in the lives of these young women!

Ok so fast forward… There has been a CMA youth camp here at the LAC. 11 out of the 16 girls were able to come for the final 2 days of the camp. I was so excited when they showed up at my door during their break time to visit. We began talking about the evening and they could not wait for the closing ceremony to begin. They were stoked about praising the Lord through song and dance. I told them that I would try to stop by. Well, glad I really did get ready for this because at 9:00pm, I had 11 girls at my front door ready for me to go over to the worship time.

Please picture this… a couple hundred black people and then me. My tan is not even good. Yep, I was so the only white person to be seen and everyone knew I was there. I stood out like no one else. I think the only thing brighter than me were these shoes that I want to bring home for Pastor Brian to wear one Sunday morning.

Take it a step further… White girl who cannot dance, danced and worshiped with them until 3:30am. It was amazing. What was even more amazing is that I am missing my family and girlfriends badly. I am nowhere near ready to be done here, but just to have a phone line and good internet to communicate…. Please help me here Lord! Desperately miss my mom sisters and brother.  I miss my Randal girlfriend, My Roswell 6 girls, my amazing Jax friends, and my dearest Bec. I have been one of these girls that has been so blessed with amazing girl friends in each place I have lived…. Really only God could give friends like I have. Well would it not be just like Him to fill that void with these amazing girls and worship. I was totally embarrassed trying to learn some of these African dances. My children would have been like, “Mom, please stop!” BUT… in it all was a gift for me. I really experienced this time of worship in His holy presence as a gift. I learned that being a fish out of water may not be something I will run from in the future; rather I may need to run to it…. I would have never thought such a gift would have been awaiting me!

Please pray about supporting us. We are only able to be here because people give! Can you support us $10, $25, $50, $100 a month? See the link below that will take you directly to our support page.

He Came Back for an Encore

God the Father is indeed worthy and due our praise!

APPLAUD HIM, BOW BEFORE HIM IN WORSHIP, FOR HE IS HOLY!

It is time for more worship as we praise God for all He is doing in Burkina Faso!

I pray that you would continue to applaud Him as I share some of the highlights of our last team.

This will sound crazy but the teams almost feel like pregnancy in a very small way. We are so excited for them to get here, but we always wonder if we will love the new team as much as we did the last. Will we connect, Will we be able to meet their expectations, Will they hate it here? Each time it is just like that second or third child that you wondered if you could love as much as the first. You never dream another team could be as good as the last. After each team leaves, we honestly mourn their departure. We are amazed at the love we have for each person that God brings over here to serve.  See below the July team that ministered and blessed many lives…. Including the Feild Family!

West Ridge July 2010 English Camp Team

 Please pray right now for this team.  Pray that they will not ever forget how God worked in and through their lives.

We started off the week with a time of evangelism. We were able to show the World Cup on a large screen at the LAC soccer field. During half time, Vince gave his testimony and the Pastor followed up by sharing how to be saved. We were very excited that more than 100 came. This also was great as there were several there that did not know there is a church on the LAC campus.

People gathered to watch the World Cup

 Please pray right now that the seeds that were planted will be watered and those who do not know Him will not rest until they are secure in their salvation with Christ.

We were blessed to have a little over 40 students for the English Camp. In the opening ceremonies, Holly shared that they were here because we sincerely wanted to help them learn some English, but the number one reason was to share the love of Jesus.

We started with a test to place each person in the class they needed to be in.

We cannot rave enough about each teacher.  Those who are teachers by profession in the States and those who are not, all did an amazing job.  Each student was thrilled to have the teachers and class they were assigned.

Vince had the older students.  Most of them had a good knowledge of English.

Vince brought the heat in his classroom.  The students received way more than just an English camp.  I am amazed at the amount of information Vince was able to go through in just one week.  Each time I was in his class, the students just hung on every word.

This was a girl in Vince's class.  One Day a picture of her was taken and a combination of bad lighting and a cheap camera put spots all over her face.  She had tears coming down her cheeks and asked for prayer over this.  She was afraid that there was an evil spirit that caused this and she could not return to her village like this.  My heart broke as I touched her back and literally felt her trembling.  I have no doubt that God allowed this.  It was simply another opportunity to talk about Him and truth.

Please pray right now for her and her salvation.  Pray that she will rest in the peace and power of our creator.

This was Holly and Anne's Class.  They had one of the intermediate classes.

Holly has a gift.  She does this in the States and we were very blessed to have her head up this camp.  Her classroom would have not been near as fun had Anne not be there to teach with her.  They were a great team and the students loved them!  I have started working with three of the students from their class 3 days a week and they can not say enough how much this camp has helped them.

This is Colleen's class.  She also had some intermediate students.  When I talked about Colleen to my husband my words were, "She not only gets it, and believes it, but she lives it."  My heart connected with hers and I feel so blessed to have a prayer warrior like her praying for my family and the lives of those here in Burkina.  Above is a drawing of a warrior who has put on the armor of God.  The students in her class were discipled.

This was our class that knew the least amount of English if any at all.  This was Jennifer, Sue, and Michelle's class.  We are thankful to the Varsity as the kids loved the hats and the photo opportunity.

These ladies did an amazing job.  One of the children from this class told me in French that he wanted the same class and the same teachers next summer.

Our last class is one that we did not plan for, but a blessing beyond what can be described. Kay was able to invest and teach the ladies that work at my home and in the center. They felt so special and continue to practice their English. Kay was able to start “Apples of Gold” in Burkina!

Kay put together some great crafts for the students.  They enjoyed each and every one!

This is a guy who has made some of our furniture.  He does not know the Lord; yet, he heard the name of Jesus all week and was making a cross necklace representing Jesus death and resurrection.

After class, the students had the opportunity to play basketball, volleyball, soccer, or sign language.

Needless to say, the camp was a huge success.  We have been asked not "if" but "when" we will be coming back.  We have also been asked if we will do this more than one time a year as well as making it longer... even up to a month.

Closing Ceremony was a time of worship.

We were humbled and blessed when as a gift the students sang God is so Good in English.  They also took up a collection and gave each one of us a gift.  They have nothing and yet they are still giving.

While the English camp was taking place, Chris, Matt, and Caleb were working in the extreme humidity and heat helping with the next classroom at the LAC.  This will enable the LAC to open up more spots for students to attend this next year.  They also spent time painting another room in the home of the LAC pastor.

These three guys worked very hard and I think even felt a little "high" with paint fumes and no ventilation!

This is the Compassion Center at the LAC.  This was a highlight and a heart break.  These children were writing letters to their sponsors.

This was one of two meals they ate during the time they were at the Compassion Center.

The children were given bread and milk.  This taller girl offered to give her lunch to one of our team members.  Humbling!

We are ONE in the Spirit proclaiming the Name of Jesus so that all may know HIM!

APPLAUD HIM!

APPLAUD HIM!

Once again, we want to thank you for your support to us as well as all the needs we have here in Burkina.  PLEASE- will you pray for us and the ministry?!? The field is ripe and as much as God is working, the enemy is ticked…. We need prayer!

We hate asking for financial support, but we can not be here without people supporting us financially.  Will you pray about supporting us financially? Can you support us $10, $25, $50, $100 a month? We are only able to be here because people pray and people give.  See the link below that will take you directly to our support page.
