T.G.I.H (Thank Goodness It’s Halloween!)
Oh, yeah – and it’s also Friday.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. What a long, crazy week it’s been! To recap briefly:
1.) Sudden re-appearance of the job opportunity that I didn’t get hired for previously.
2.) Pressure by multiple parties to reapply
3.) Series of long, challenging interviews. (Which [...]

Boo!

Running on fumes.
I have to confess about a problem I have. I just can’t seem to get my sorry butt into bed at a decent hour.
Only twice since I’ve been back on this side of the globe have I been in bed by midnight. Even then, only barely (11:30pm the last two nights). It is definitely beginning [...]

Number 100. Where do I start?
So. Here I am on my 100th post. And I’m at a loss for words.
***Note: I was at such a loss for words that there was a 4 day pause here…..
Let me start by thanking you for just stopping by and checking this site out. I still feel like a rookie at this blogging thing, [...]

Jet-lagged
I feel like I’m almost a little rusty at posting on this site – it’s been a few weeks since I’ve drafted a new post of any length!
I am still recovering from my travels -and trying to adjust back to Eastern Standard Time and western culture.
This trip was AMAZING! Not only was I [...]

Kenya – Days 14 & 15
We will be taking close to two days to travel back home to the states. This is partly due to the huge time difference between the two countries.
Pray for rest, reflection and changed hearts. Pray that we will be able to adjust back to our home culture, without losing all of the changes God has [...]

Kenya – Day 13
Lucky number 13! Today we will be travelling in-country headed back to Nairobi. A few team members will travel separately and will be visiting the Masai Mara National Game Preserve. They will get to visit my old friends:
For those of us who opted out of the safari, we will be headed into the city to [...]

extra prayers, please…
We have a few sick team members here – most of us have had a few sick days over the trip (I had a very sore throat for two days).
Right now Kim and Jonathan are very ill. Please keep them in your prayers – Some of us are back in Nairobi now, while 1/2 [...]

Kenya – Day 12
We are 4/5 of the way through our trip at this point! Continue to pray for our family and friends at home. And for us - that we would not be homesick, but would be fully present in the work at hand. Pray also for the Pokot whom we interracted with – that the Gospel would be [...]

Kenya – Day 11
Today will be another clinic day.
Pray for: Continued strength and energy.
Pray for team member Kathy whose verse is John 15:5
I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Kenya – Day 10
Hey folks, guess what? Yup – another clinic! This is always such a great opportunity to be “hands-on” with our mission. Everyday we look into someone else’s face and share a smile, or a hand-grasp. I was moved by the love I saw in my teammates faces, words, and actions last year.
Pray for: Pokot Outreach [...]
