So we had a lot of people ask us how they could support us, pray for us, give to us, love on us, encourage us while we were home. I usually freeze up when people ask because 1. I don't always know what to say and 2. I don't want to sound greedy or needy (even though I am both of these things). So here it is, everything you asked for!
Prayers for us! I am not being all fakey humble when I say that your prayers really do mean so much. To know that people are bending the knees on our behalf and praying for joy and safety and faithfulness and endurance for us is amazing. Truly. PLEASE keep praying. Specifics would include our marriage, family unity, kids' education, our ministry to grow deeper rather than wider, faithfulness, joy, peace in God's will, provision for ourselves and our people and wisdom and discernment.
Support us! There, I said it. We do need money for our living expenses, ministry, and being generous to our community. I could hem and haw about it and hope that you would read between the lines but how about I just lay it out there? We are trying to purchase a building sooner than later and need some serious cash to enable us to do so. If you want to get in on this purchase and feel God challenging you financially then do it! Click on the Get Involved button and Give. Thanks to all of you who have faithfully given to us and keep things moving here!
Email us! While in the states I realized how wonderful and evil Facebook is. So many people told me they read my blog, follow us on Facebook, etc but never comment on anything. I admit it...I like knowing that someone out there reads what I write. Not for my own satisfaction to to know that we aren't alone. To know that many of you read it all and pray for us. Facebook enables us to stay in touch without really talking to eachother at all. Kind of sad. I am repenting of my own face-stalking that I do to many of you and am committing to talking more. We are so encouraged when we hear from people. Really. Short emails, texts, skyping dates...all of it makes us feel connected and loved.
Send us stuff! A lot of people tell me "I want to send you something...what do you need?". I have a huge list of things in my head and then you ask that and I can't think of a single thing. Truth be told we don't NEED much. We don't NEED Cheetos and chocolate and Starbucks. But gosh we like it. It is such a treat to have something from our country reach us with a note of encouragement. So here is a short list of things we usually wish for:
Hershey's cocoa powder
Instant organic oatmeal
Scented candles
Magazines
Kids books
Anything from Trader Joes...no really...anything.
Board games
Art supplies
Music
Deoderant (trust me when I say it just isn't the same here)
Chex mix
Fritos Scoops
Starbucks coffee (anything but the House Blend)
Legos or other small toys for the kids
Flip flops
Contact rewetting drops
Baby clothes
Those are just a few things that have crossed my mind lately. You can mail it to us at this address: Dan Morris Clock Tower P.O. Box 30196 Kampala Uganda. Again, none of these are acutal needs but you asked....
Listen up, we love you guys. Truly, more than we could ever convey in words. Our time in the states was so restful and amazing. Thanks to all who gave up time, money and beds to love, feed and house us.
Please know that the little things you do matter to us. Pray, Give, Love, Ecourage. And hey, thanks for asking!
