Changes, and my first ministry



This past month and a half has been a little hectic!
I have changed a few things in my life, moved some things around, done a little spring cleaning if you will:)

This summer, I spent some time in Uganda, if you have read my blog at all recently you know a little about this trip:) 
I love Healing Faith (www.healingfaithuganda.org), the ministry that we visited who are friends of mine.  Jason and Kari have an amazing servants heart and I was so blessed to be able to lead a team to them!
They were one of the major driving forces behind why I helped found Imani. 
But over this past year, I have come to realize that my time with my family was suffering in a big way, and it wasn't getting better.  I also saw that the vision of where Imani was headed was a different way than I originally thought.  Not bad, just different. 
After much prayer by myself and with my husband (who is an amazing man and supports me in my decision), I decided my time with Imani was coming to an end. 
(The Lord has still provided me a way to help with Healing Faith though!  Stay tuned for more info on that!!)

So at the beginning of August I resigned my position with Imani. 
As sad as it was, I know it was God's divine plan for my life.  I know I was not giving the attention to my first ministry, my family, that it deserved.
So this year, my insane instinct to dive in head first, full force, is going to be concentrated on my family!
I cannot tell you how excited I am!

I decided I needed to do something fun and creative for my kiddos for school.  I have done it a few times in the past, but this year I'm going full force!
I have started to do Alpha Lunches again!
If you have no idea what I am talking about, I am going to send the girls with lunches that are based around the letter of the alphabet.  And today being the first day of school, I started with A!
I am going to do this, and I would love to see some of you join me!!  I am putting them on instagram everynight and tagging them #alphalunch, I also add a note in their lunch:)
Join me!
