Thank you

Michael and I with Great Rift Valley in background

March 2011 - Thanks to you my friends and family who supported us with your many prayers and financial backing for our trip to Kenya.  I feel the blessings we received far outweighed the work we did while there.  God really does know what he is doing.  Michael has had quite a time readjusting.  He hesitated to get back into his life here, not wanting to forget his time in Kenya.  He talks every day of Kenya and wanting to return next year.

October 2011 - It's funny how God works.  Michael had been extremely concerned about forgetting Kenya once he returned home. But that has been impossible as we have received weekly phone calls from the Mawia family.  As soon as we hear those wonderful accents of our dear friends, we are transported back to Kijabe. 

So what has been my nugget from the trip here at eight months past? I'm seeing a little more of God's big picture.  We can so easily get caught up in our American lives, filled with carpool, errands, work, family, computers, t.v., church - the list could go on, but there is so much more out there that God is doing.  Yeah, so my take home is remembering how God is working his great plan out all over the world and will continue to do so regardless my circumstances here.  I really trust that God - in his sovereignty- is working out all the details for our upcoming trip just the way he wants it to go with all the trials and victories in tack.

Yes, we are going back next year!  Stay tuned for details.
