Howdy Blogger Nation

With a very heavy and happy stomach I greet all the Whataburger Lovers. The Rosa Especial is a #5 (bacon cheeseburger) mayo and mustard all veggies with jalapeños on a small bun. This is the perfect combination and at one point in life, I would go there so often that the staff knew my order. Yes, I was 50 pounds heavier and did not a see a problem at all. What can I say - I'm a food addict! 

Whataburger is a fast food chain that is open 24 hours a day and is addictive. I think they have other stuff like salads, but I'm sure sure I've never willingly ordered one. The ketchup is so good that they now sell it at the grocery store:)

In 2012 I did order a bacon burger in Jinja, although it was very good, it was no Whataburger. Bacon was really a tiny piece of ham. Most of the community have very little or no access to fresh meat. It was very embarrassing that the village kids would pinch the fat around my arm. They had NO body fat! It was rare for them to touch a fatty arm. I had not realized how big we must appear to them. With all of our technology and advancement we choose to overindulge in bad foods. It really made me think that both America and Africa suffer from malnutrition. One from having too much and one from having nothing. Nutritional training is so important to both cultures. Will try to have the best possible diet available to me here in order to be a good example of a healthy American.

I boldly pray that missionaries across the world have the nourishment they need not only for themselves, buy for their community. Lord please keep the Segner family healthy and nourished with the best foods they need today. They are a sharing family. Thank you for this beautiful day. Amen.

I LOVE God's Ice Cream!

 My name is Meredith Wagner. I was born and raised in Bryan,Texas along with my parents and four younger siblings. After graduating high school I joined the WONDERFUL AND GREAT United States Air Force. I served as a medic overseas. I finished my Masters Degree in 2007.  I am happily living in College Station, Texas with my husband, Derek and 5 year old daughter, Grace. Due to 100% disability from the Air Force I do not currently have an occupation outside of being a homemaker, this keeps me busy! I am a member of Brazos Fellowship. My family always looks forward to going to church each Sunday to see and hear what God has brought to the table for Pastor Will Lewis to share! I am really looking forward to the journey that has already started in preparing for the mission trip to Uganda this June! I have been so blessed by each teammate that will be serving along with me! I was totally baffled when I realized I had only gone on one other mission trip that was to Mexico in 1995... Yvonne Kylonnen Stone was on this particular trip to Mexico where we served together! After changing churches, moving to different countries, losing contact, etc. I found out that she also attends Brazos Fellowship and teaches in the children's ministry! This made my day, God has now brought us back together again to serve him in Uganda, along with several other teammates that I am REALLY looking forward to serving with!!! Go has many flavors of ice cream, some days aren't my favorite flavors, yet I can always receive sprinkle of candy, cookie, sauces, fruit and anything else I might want to add to the flavor to make it taste better that day. The sprinkles, etc. signify how God uses his blessings to keep us motivated and striving to be more like him each day. The best part is that tomorrow is a NEW Flavor! God Bless!   Mer

I LOVE church

I Boldly pray that all missionaries across the world are able to attend a bible based service today. Church building is not required. Lord let us ALL hear the message we need to keep up motivated for the next week. Thank you so much for our wonderful church family. Brazos Fellowship loves you Lord, keep us safe. Amen.

I Love Junk:)

Mission To Do List:

*boldly pray

Hello Blogger Nation!

Very excited to have you read about JUNK! Who would have thought that is something to LOVE! Growing up below the poverty line in Eagle Pass, TX you learn to Love other peoples junk:) Nothing looks better than a semi used gorgeous purse from a garage sale, flea market or better yet a hand me down from a cousin. Still today our family recycles most of our junk. I'm a recovering pack rat with hoarding tendencies. Not being wasteful and taking care of the few valuable items that we posses has been drilled in our family since before birth. The only time we buy retail is when items are on sale and multiple coupons are available:)

Not once in Uganda did I see an item wasted. Everything had a purpose and ALL items looked very used and abused. Things did not have a fake plastic shiny coat of bling, it was all beautifly simple and purposeful. Very few people in the city and none in the village had socks. To explain socks to someone who has no shoes, shirt, or undergarments seems like a waste of time. Yet in my home I am guilty of complaining about losing ONE sock in the dryer. Will NOT volunteer to explain a clothes dryer to a Ugandan, I'd be too embarrased.

I boldly pray that the Healing Faith Team has all the supplies necessary to do their mission in Jinja today. Please provide the equipment and human resources to save those lives that need to be healed today. Lord keep Zippi and baby Jason in great health. In your name, Amen.

With a very positive attitude and a belly full of bacon you are greeted today. I have purposely had to spend time away from blog in order to regroup from stress and focus on the important things in life. Not sure who I would be without my family, but I know that I would not be as loved, challenged, supported, encouraged, happy, creative and as crazy. La Familia Garza is so dynamic. Everyone has strong points of view and very determined. We do better when we are together because we have such a strong bond, at the same time we are not all in each other's business. Parents will be here on May 10th to celebrate Mexican Mothers Day. If there is ever a day to remember when in Mexico, it's May 10th:)

When visiting the Segner Family in 2012 we were able to spend time in their home. Their family consisted of two parents, four American children, five Healing Faith team members (Apio, Tom, Emma, Simon, Zippi's husband- Moses), as well as hundreds of children from the village. The white people are called Mzungu in the city. As the Segner little girl was playing with her Little Mermaid coloring book, she colored herself as a black mermaid. Hadlee had no distinction in her mind of the color of her skin since none of her family treated her different. It was such a blessing to see a true environment where skin color was not seen as a difference, but as an equal. True family Love:)

I boldly pray for the WHOLE Segner family. That the lives the Segner American Family and the Segner Ugandan Family become so interrelated that no one sees color difference. Lord please let these wonderful Mzungus know how much their Aggie family loves them and misses them terribly. Lord keep the Segners strong and safe today. Amen

God knows no bounds...

Hello!  My name is Yvonne and I have been married to my husband Guy for 11 years now.  I have 2 daughters God has blessed me with. I am blessed to have a wonderful job that fulfills my passion to work with children and gives me the chance to make a difference in their lives by being their teacher.

I was inspired by a local family’s story from my church Brazos Fellowship. Jason and Kari Segner founded Healing Faith in 2011.  Their goal is to aid in the ongoing battle of malaria, while showing the love, grace and salvation of our Savior.  They accomplish this through building relationships with the people of the rural villages and working to educate, equip and empower them in the battle against malaria. You can learn more about Healing Faith online at www.HYPERLINK "http://www.healingfaithuganda.org/"hHYPERLINK "http://www.healingfaithuganda.org/"eHYPERLINK "http://www.healingfaithuganda.org/"alingfaithugandaHYPERLINK "http://www.healingfaithuganda.org/".org. 

I learned about an opportunity to serve alongside Healing Faith in Uganda.  At first I thought, “Wow, this is an amazing opportunity for people…but not me.”  I have a family to take care of, the cost is too high, it is too far away.  I thought of every excuse why it would not be possible for me to serve these people in another part of our world, and yet God knew His plan all along for me.  I continued to pray and ask God to show me His will, and He put it on my heart that it is my time to serve these people in Uganda.  Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" John 15:13.  We lay down our lives every time we put someone else's needs before our own.  We lay down our lives through service.  During my quiet time I opened my bible to Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.”  this is when I knew I needed to serve. 

So, with enthusiasm and excitement, I will be joining the 2014 June Mission Trip Team with my church, Brazos Fellowship.  While in Uganda, we will be working alongside the Segner family in their mission to provide mosquito nets for families in Uganda to prevent the spread of Malaria.  Malaria kills a child in Africa every 60 seconds.  Most of these deaths are children under the age of 5.  Mosquito nets treated with insecticide dramatically reduce the mosquito populations while protecting children from the often fatal bites of malaria-infected mosquitoes.  We will be going to the villages and hanging nets, educating the villages on Malaria prevention and detection, de-worming the children, and most importantly we will pray with the people of Uganda and share the truth of the Gospel.

                            

God knows no bounds, and I trust that He will provide for me and prepare me spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially for this wonderful adventure He is sending me on. One tool He has supplied us all with is the body of Christ, the church, to partner with this team prayerfully and financially.  I ask that you consider partnering with our team prayerfully, financially, or both.  Please commit to pray God works in our hearts and gives us strength to be Spirit-filled witnesses to the ends of the earth. Pray that the Lord would give the team boldness to share the Gospel and open eyes of the people we encounter to see the truth of the Gospel.  Secondly, please consider committing to a financial partnership.  I know this trip will cost a lot of money, and I feel where there is a will there is a way, and God will provide if it is His will.  

You can partner with me through a check, or an online donation through Healing Faith.  Make all checks payable to Healing Faith with my name in the memo line (Yvonne Stone)

Hello Family & Friends!!

I am so excited to let you know that I am taking another trip to Jinja, Uganda with Healing Faith (www.healingfaithuganda.org). The missionaries that will be hosting us are Jason and Kari Segner of College Station, who have been missionaries in Africa with their 5 children for a few years now. Many of you helped me in prayer and financially for my first trip in December 2012 and I am eternally grateful for your help. It was such a blessing to work hand in hand with the villages outside of Jinja for clinic days and also playing and loving on the children of the villages. Healing Faith has turned their ministries focus on Malaria prevention and education in addition to diagnosing and treating malaria, which is mainly found in pregnant women and children. We are going to help them with the malaria program and anything else that is needed.

A quick update on what is going on in my life. Over the past year, the Lord has been doing some pruning in my personal life, I believe clearing way for a new season. Keeping my hope and faith has been difficult, but has grown and strengthened my relationship with God a great deal. I currently work at Scott & White and earned my certification for ophthalmic assistant last October. I love my job and my co-workers, I am so blessed. I am currently finishing up my 4^th semester of night classes at Blinn. I am about finished with my core courses and will keep praying on where God wants me to go from there. :)

 

Our team of 7 women will be leaving June 25^th and will return July 9^th. Through this trip we will be able to bring 2 fifty pound bags per person, and we plan on using 1 per person for much needed medical supplies and anything else they may need.

The Lord has really been working in my heart about how to write this letter. I want to be open and honest with my supporters and say that I would love your prayers first and foremost. I confidently believe that God is sending me back to Jinja for a purpose that is unknown to me at this time, but I trust Him in this and I ask that you please pray for His provision and protection over this trip. I also ask that you pray for His will to be done, for courage, for the hearts of the people of Uganda, for our team, for the Segner family and Healing Faith ministry. Prayer is powerful in Jesus' name and I believe that covering this trip in prayer is the most important part of this letter. I thank you now for your support in prayer.

With that said, I would also like for you to prayerfully consider supporting me financially. I believe in every decision we make, that we should take it to our Heavenly Father first. If you feel led by the Holy Spirit to support me financially, here are a couple of ways to do so:

Tax deductible donations by check can be made you to: Healing Faith with my name in the memo line and can be sent to either address:

Ana Hernandez                           or                                     Healing Faith

PO Box 3366                                                                       PO Box 1649

Bryan, TX 77802                                                                 Bryan, TX 77806

Donations are also securely accepted online by clicking the "donate" button in the top right corner of this page.

Thank you so much for your support! Our team will be updating the blog during the trip so you are able to virtually come with us and see what God is doing in Jinja, Uganda through Healing Faith and the Segner family.

Be blessed & a blessing!

I Love Foodies

Mission to do list

*think positive

*thankful for paper and envelope donation:)

*find postage money

*boldly pray

With a positive attitude and HANGRY (Hungry and Angry) stomach I greet ALL foodies. Foodies has become a common term to refer to all of us who LOVE to eat good food. We like trying new foods and telling people about our food finds. We usually sit around and discuss what we liked and disliked about a particular dish. We always have ideas on how to improve and how much we were surprised we liked some dish. As a food addict, there is nothing better than a big dish of love served by my mother. All other food comes to a close second:)

As I found God's Love in Jinja, I know exactly what that taste like to me. God is in all food, but the natural stuff is soooo much better:

*Bacon Nation- applewood smoked bacon - thick slice

*Mexico - Mango Ataulfo

*Texas - Fresh Pecans = Pecan Pie

*USA - Washington Apples = apple pie

* Uganda - Fresh pinapple

*Brazil - strong coffee

*Italy - fresh tomatoes

*Dominican Republic - plantains

*London - Hot Tea

I boldly pray that Healing Faith Ministry has all the ingredients they need today for their meals. I pray that Apio is in great spirits and all her love comes through her cooking. Let her catering business flourish and her home prosper from her hard labor. Thank you Lord for the abundance of food choices in our lives. Amen.

I Love Texas Aggies

Hello Blogger Nation

I positively Love southern hospitality. Texas is so big and so beautiful, there is nothing that can compare to the feeling of being from Texas. Even those if us not born here, got here as quick as we could.  Not only am I a Texan, I am also an Aggie. There is a Spirit that all Aggies have and that Spirit can never be told. We are the Aggies, the Aggies are we:)

Nothing will warm your heart more than seeing a maroon Aggie shirt in Jinja. It is so familiar to us Aggies, but placed in such a different culture, just makes you smile. The Segner family are true Texas Aggies. They posses all the Texas charm and hospitality and they added the love of Jinja to the equation. Simply a great family with wonderful Spirit that can never be told.

I boldly pray that the Aggie community know about the great work that the Segners are doing. That all the love and support of the Aggie family pour down on the Segner family today. Thank you Lord the great opportunity of living in Texas and loving the Aggies. 

I Love low tech

Hola Blogger Nation

When I positively say Low tech, I really mean No Tech. Technology, computers and any powered equipment and I just don't get along. Most of the time, my fat fingers makes me click too many things. Not sure how to close internet windows without shutting down the whole computer. I don't have a computer, Internet, fax, camera, copier, printer or cable. Most of these were eliminated due to lack of funds. The local library and my sister are my go to Internet hubs.

Several days after our team arrived to Uganda, I lost my phone. It was an Android that for me was very high tech. Was just entering the Facebook addiction and was now texting daily. Most of the trip I used the computer very seldom. The internet is available at the Segner residence, but there is not always electricity. My lack of phone was so insignificant when people did not have water. So thankful that I was able to appreciate Jinja with no technological interruptions. 

Lord, I boldly pray that the Segner family have the basic technology resources they need today. Electricity, water, fuel, automobile, phone service. Lord, let them  feel that they are loved and respected for all the sacrifices they endure daily. Lord, please don't let me focus on the things I don't have,  but on all the blessing that you have given me. In your name, Amen

Jambo- Hola- Howdy- Hi Blogger Nation

Proverbs 31 daily devotional explains T.A.G. as Time Alone with God. During our trip to Uganda in 2012, our leader would call it quiet time. We were required to take a journal on our mission. I was not used to this concept. My journal was a documentary on facts: Time of flight, team members names, the fatigue I was having. It took the daily devotional to explain the importance of writing and listening to God. I now T.A.G. Most mornings. The details are more about being grateful and blessed for so many things.

Change of place plus change of pace equals change of perspective. Being away from the daily stresses of life in a different country, slower pace of living really changed my perspective of the priorities in life. If I don't make time for God first thing in the morning, then what is my priority for the day? If I truly believe God comes first, then I must do that daily in order to reinforce my beliefs.

I boldly pray that All Missinaries in Uganda have the opportunity to T.A.G. The ones working for Aid prevention, orphanages, adopting children, mosquito nets, education, shoes, water and many more. That they have the time and energy to spend time with you Lord daily. Don't let them do he work and lose sight of the bigger picture. Give them strength daily.

I LOVE Sunday's

Church, Relax, NO work:)

I boldly pray that church in Jinja does not get rained out. Hope Katie Davis and her girls are able to attend in a healthy and joyful spirit. Lord please let ALL missionaries regroup and recover in your word. Please let them hear the words that will carry them through another week of challenges and obsticals. Thank you for allowing Christians to congregate all around the world:)

With running gear and a positive runners attitude you are greeted this morning. We are in Brenham - one hour away- getting ready for Blue Bell 10K run. Hope I make it without blowing chunks and the hilly terrain does not make me hate my big butt. If I survive the run, then the ice cream coma may do me in- UNLIMITED ICE CREAM at finish line:) Not sure they will make a profit on my consumption. 

I'm not fast, but I have endurance. Will need to build up speed to catch up with the Segner Children. These kids are super fast. On second they are running in front of you, the next they have monkey climbed up a tree. No shoes, no shirt, no worries, they are true athletes.

I boldly pray that The Lord keep ALL the Segner children safe and injury free today. Let them show us all how to enjoy the simple ways of having fun like running, jumping and using our imagination. Lord these are amazing children with great hearts, minds and athletic bodies, thank you for letting them be runners.

Good Morning Blogger Nation

In a positive and Vegan friendly Spirit I smile at you this morning:) For a long time I did not understand why these Jesus loving Christians were so happy. I was so annoyed and irritated because they are always smiling, especially in the early morning hours. WHY are you so freaking happy? I found the answer - God LOVES them, and they know it. I have always been a joyful person, but I never would imagine going around smiling ALL day. Who does that? Guess what, I'm a smiler:) LOVE a good smile. Please don't give me the fake smile with no true joy behind it, I can feel that smile and It scares me. Usually, the true smile is followed by a strong squeezy hug. I felt God's Love in Africa, and it is getting stronger everyday. 

The best smiler I have EVER met is Tom. He is one of the many family/team members at Healing Faith Ministries. He greets you at the gate with the biggest, kindest, true love smiles. It is not a one time deal either, EVERYTIME he is just as happy to see you. When you see his smile, you know that this home is protected by Tom and he will do everything in his power to protect the Segners and all the missionaries that cross those gates. "Good Morning Tom" I would say, then pause to hear his reply. In a soft and loving voice - "Thank You, please". His smile is genuine, sincere, consistant and addictive.

I boldly pray that God gives Tom the strength and courage today to do his part in Healing Faith. Let his love pour into the Segner children, that they can play and run knowing Tom is there to keep them safe and protected. Lord I pray that you are working in Tom's heart that he feels loved and the wife you are preparing for him appreciates his smile. Thank you, please.

Good Morning Blogger Nation!

A friendly and positive disclaimer this morning: Warning- this blog contains bacon and bacon thoughts. If you are Vegan, Vegeterian or have non bacon religious beliefs this is the time to log off. We will agree to disagree and we can meet tomorrow morning with no bad feelings. 

Patiently waiting for bloggers to log off... It takes me about 5 minutes to find the right button. Two hours later, I find out that I pushed the wrong cyber button:(

YES, I REALLY REALLY LIKE BACON!!!! You may have recently heard of pop culture bacon. It's the new flavor in the foodie community and most cooking shows. As much as I enjoy the popularity and the vast variety, I have been part of the Bacon nation from the days of pancakes and bacon. Not many choices at that time. Yes, I want bacon. Yes, I need bacon. Yes, I will try the bacon no matter how awful it sounds. No, not ALL things wrapped in bacon are good. FYI - bacon chap stick smells like dog food. Good idea, bad execution. Not judging, just saving you a gagging reflex:) Patch Adams type dream come true- Rosa wrapped in the bacon favors of my life: Jalapeño bacon- spicy little Mexican

Maple bacon - sweet girl

Burnt bacon - life experienced Rosa

Fatty bacon - fat girl

Turkey bacon - runner Rosa

Pepper bacon - bold and confident me

Pretend it Forest Gump and we are here for a series all the types of shrimp.  Mmmm bacon wrapped shrimp. FOCUS!

Prayer for today is for my brother in Christ - Jason Segner, he is a bacon nation citizen. Dear Lord I boldly pray that Jason has a day with no Ugandan time delays. Please let him be productive and efficient with all his tasks. Let him have a Burger King fast food experience - have it his way with no waiting. Lord please show Jason your love with the timing he needs today. In your name, Amen.

I LOVE Kari Segner

Mission Countdown List - 77 DAYS!!!

* Boldly pray

Good Morning Blogger Nation

I was so blessed to meet and spend time in the home of Kari Segner for a very short time back in Dec 2012. When you see this women you know exactly what the Proberbs 31 woman looks like on earth. She is very tall, (well I'm very short:), her shoulders are strong and confident, her eyes are kind and full of compassion, her spirit is full of God's love for Africa, and her voice is full of wisdom and knowledge. Her family gravitates to her love, her ministry screams God Loves You, her determination is unexplainable, her stength to endure the challenges of life is Herculean, her ability to be a woman of God is intoxicating. This does not include that she is a great Christian, mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and missionary. The best part of admiring her, is her ability to thank The Lord for all her blessings. I can't wait to spend some time with her this summer. 

Today, my daily devotional about the Proberb 31 woman speaks about the power of prayer. Prayer is a mindset, an attitude, an atmosphere we create. "When we work, we work. But when we pray, God works. The purpose of prayer is to bring heaven's power to bear on earth's circumstances. As my affirmation for the day: I devote myself to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

I boldly pray for the adoption process of Joseph in Kari Segner's life be resolved. That ALL the legal and political red tape be desolved today. Lord, please let Joseph know that he is loved and he will always have a family and community that support him. Lord, bring Joseph home.

Prayerful Rosa

Positive and determined energy greets you this morning. Not sure how the day escaped me yesterday, but draft letter did not get started. Between getting papers for taxes, going to work, going to mechanic, laundry, phone calls, budget, and life I lost track of time. Today, I'll start with an outline for letter in order to set the correct mood for the day. Yes, application was delivered including the deposit.

There are many people I would like to send my letter for prayers and encouragement, but not sure what their new or updated address would be? My plan is to go through "the box" of old mail  and just start addressing the envelopes. May need to email the letter in order to connect with those I have no clue where they live. There are Facebook friends, but I would have no clue how to put a letter up there. I just recently have successfully posted a picture with text of Facebook. I am consistently technology challenged. 

I boldly pray that The Lord guards and protects all mission work that is done through out the world in His name. Especially the Segner Family and their honest and solid Healing Ministries.

Good Morning Blogger Nation!

With a very positive attitude I come to you this morning to share about my opportunity to travel with a great team to Jinja, Uganda. This is a two week mission with Brazos Fellowship Church and Healing Faith Ministries. Brazos Fellowship is my home church, which means they know I am a mess, but they love, accept and support me through my journey with The Lord. It is located in College Station, TX and it used to be a bar/pool hall. Yes, I attended when it was a bar, never thought it would be a church:)  Healing Faith is a family from our home town that stepped into Gods calling and moved their four kids to Africa. I have met this family and they have a great giving heart. Our leader is Rachel, who is an amazing woman that has missions tattooed deep in her soul. She is not only knowledgable about our goals, she is travel safe and experienced. I have full confidence in her leadership and her love for Healing Faith Ministries.

My application is almost complete, just need passport information. The deposit that is due with the application is $300. I was blessed and surprised on Friday to receive $383.00 from my recent ex-coworkers at Scott & White clinic. My last day of full time work was April 4th, 2014 . My work family took me out to lunch, bought me a cake, cooked me Bacon, and they made me ROSA's AFRICA BOX. This box had beautiful cards, thought, prayers and donations. I almost cried, but kept it together until that night when the cry gates were opened. Tears of  joy, blessings, fear, uncertainty, thankful, surprise, and pure love.

My friend has volunteered to help me with my donation letter. My grammar, spelling, vocabulary and sometime my English is NO BUENO. This letter will go out to EVERYONE I know, so they can keep our team in their prayers and follow our blog journey to Jinja, Uganda.

I boldly pray that God helps me have a heart that will help and not hurt HIS mission in my Life.

Keep me in your prayers
Insecure Rosa

Summer Team
