Ricky Bobby is my hero.

These days I am living in Mineral Wells, Texas...a  large city (And when I say large, I mean very, very small and quaint) where everyone does in fact know everyone and everyone sees everyone at Walmart (where I now shop for pretty much ummm, everything. YAHOO!!! Yap, I'm quite fashionable these days). I'm currently working 3 jobs at the moment. I'm a live in nanny for the two most beautiful little girls....They are precocious and full of wonderment...Jocelyn and Riann...I am completely and wholly in love with them. A love I cannot fully explain and don't think it was meant to be defined. I also work as a waitress at a locally owned Italian restaurant, Baris. I am the only Christian there and have already had the chance to share the Good News! The owner calls me Angel, which I know has all to do with the love of Christ. He is using me to bring His Light and share His love. I am so thankful He has chosen to use me! I also clean houses for some elderly woman who are no longer able to get around and take care of their homes. They mainly just long for company and someone to massage their feet and give them a pedicure. I do love old people! I am always surprised to find their homes are never as dirty as they think they are...and there is always some sort of rare pill laying around....I entertain myself by trying to "figure out" what pill it is and what is its function. I do love my Pharmacology.

okay I am growing weary and I need to close my eyes and go to my happy place. I will add more on to this later. Love you all and hope this gives you a glimpse into my current world. I still long for other world....the one that has you in it. Sweet dreams.

Shake-N-Bake.

Hey guys! I am about to be leaving on a jet plane...don't know when I'll be back again....landing 1000's of miles away!!! I thought that these past few weeks were going to fly by, but to my surprise it has been the longest 2 weeks of my life! But finally the time has come for me to return to the place where I left my heart. To the people who stole it away. I can't wait to see the look on their faces. Not to boast anything of myself, but all the glory goes to Him. What a testimony to Christ that He has allowed me to keep a promise to these people. That I can show them a love, His love, that would motivate me to travel back 1000's of miles just to have a chance to share that with them. He loves them so much!  I pray that I will truly be mistaken for Him...My life, His life. My eyes, His eyes. My touch, His touch. My words, His words. His hands, His feet. Not my love, but His.

I love you all so very much. Thank you for filling and blessing my life. My cup runeth over. In His love and grace, Wyndi

Doubt, fear, concern, anxiety....Spiritual Warfare! I need your prayers...

As some of you know I am departing the country in 8 days to be a semester missionary in Southeast Asia. As I am making my final preparations, new problems have arose. My family. They have all known that I would be returning to Southeast Asia in January since I was asked to return in August. A week out from me leaving, this trip should be no surprise to them, right? Well I don't know if they thought I wasn't be serious or what, but now they are fighting me going. I moved in with my grandparents after the hurricane because I knew I would be leaving soon and didn't want to be bound by an apartment lease. She was fully aware of this, in fact she was excited that I was going to return to the very place God had sent me this summer. This is no longer the case. My grandparents told me that if I go to Southeast Asia next week that I have to find a new place to live. Also I need to find a place to stay for the next week because they don't want my grandfather to get upset and have a heart attack. They told me that they are very disappointed in me. I was questioned why would I even do missions. That I'm not being responsible and I need to stay in school and graduate and then consider what God has for me...hello! I was told that I am "forcing the hand of God" which I'm pretty sure is not scriptural. They rest of my family pretty much agrees with them. I know that I don't need their support if I've been called by God, but it would definitely make things so much easier. Give me more of a peace. I hate turmoil. And then it does cause me to wonder, okay God are You using them to tell me that I am not supposed to go...

Also not all my financial needs have not been met. My family was going to help me with those, but has now craw fished out of that obligation... I guess maybe because they think they know God's will, purpose and plan for my life. But this does raise some questions in my own heart. They think because God has not provided for me to go as of yet, then that means it is not God's will for me to return. I was told that if I go with it not being God's will I will face judgement. ???? hmmm....Did they forget about the cross?

Anyway my heart longs for my family to be covering me in prayer instead of insults and accusations and anger. But this is not the case. So I ask you, will you pray for me? I need your prayers desperately. That He will direct me in my decisions, words, and actions. Spiritual warfare...I need protection.

I long just hear His voice.            Speak to me Abba.
