Footprints on our Heart

This past week and weekend we said "farewell" to some dear friends who are setting out for an incredible journey. For the past few years we've watched Billy and Joanna go from newly married and just starting seminary, to a devoted couple venturing to Arua, Uganda to share the love of Jesus with whoever the Lord places in their midst.
Uncle Billy and Auntie JoJo have loved Sarah since before we saw her picture...and we are grateful that she's had this time with them.
You can't meet Billy and Jo and not be changed by them. And I know Uganda will never be the same. We acknowledge fully that where they are going is not "safe" but we also acknowledge that we know the Lord will not leave them or foresake them...that they will be safe in the shadow of the Almighty.
So, Billy and Jo, as our human natures say "goodbye", our spirits are forever connected through a God who gave us friendship that will last an eternity. And we pray that our physical paths cross often...perhaps in China or Uganda. :)
We love you both!!!
