Tomorrow has the potential to be a very challenging day. I really can’t go in to details on this public blog, but I have to take care of some of the things that the judge wants done. It won’t be fun. It may be hard. I may get asked a lot of questions. So if you think about it, please pray for me. Pray for wisdom and for the right words. Pray for my heart and love for Mercy to shine through. Pray for people to see me for who I am and what my family is like.
Thank you for your prayers during elections. Things were very peaceful here in Kampala. Wednesday is voting for the local elections, so that means another day of staying in. Praying for peace to continue.
And one more note... Cody's been getting on to me for not allowing comments on my posts. A lot of you comment when I link to the posts on Facebook, but he thought that those of you who are not my Facebook friend might want a chance to put in your two cents too. So, comments are turned on. If I don't know you at all, I'd love to hear a comment on how you found out about our story. It amazes me every day to hear about people I've never met that follow our story so closely and continually pray for us. It means the world to me and my family. Happy Commenting!

Hi Melissa! My name is Heather Leggett and I work with Debbie White as a PAT Educator here in Mulvane. I've learned bits and pieces of your story through Debbie & Whitney Phipps, and then became more educated as I began to read your blog. Our family is praying for you all and if there is any way we can help from here, please do let us know!

ReplyDeleteHey Melissa! You don't know me...but I am hooked to your story. I got connected to your blog through Doug and Kat as they were friends of mine while in MS.

Melissa,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Diane Huff and I knew Cody back in his Jr. High and High School days. He nicknamed me Dian-o-saurus.... He has always had a silly sense of humor.
I want you to know that I believe you are such an amazing woman of God! Mercy is so blessed to have you because you will follow God's call, no matter the cost. You inspire me! My family, friends, and women's Bible study pray for you daily!
God's peace and presence be with you!
Melissa,
ReplyDeleteI was introduced to this blog by a friend of a friend --- Amy, from Mulvane - her blog is where I heard about this. I have never yet met Amy, but follow her blog faithfully and am often inspired. Now your story has blessed me also. I admire your strength and the incredible faith you possess. God will richly bless you for the example of unconditional love and faith you are displaying. Praying for you and Mercy:)
