A new year! We typically think of a fresh start and new
commitments for the year. But isn’t it amazing that as Christians we can live
every day as a New Year?… everyday we have a fresh start. Every day we have a
clean slate…our filthy rags are wiped away by His perfect righteousness. Every day
we get the opportunity to recommit our lives to the Lord. Every moment we have
the choice to surrender to Him. Everyday we have the opportunity to live fully
right where we are. We are sooo excited
to see what the Lord has in store this year. These past 4 months have been
incredible as the Lord has been revealing more of Himself and what it means to
live as children of God, daily picking up the cross and following Him. Although
they are not what we expected we wouldn’t change them for anything!
Saturday feedings, separating beans, Swahili lessons, kids
filling the house, laundry, daily chores. Our days always seem to fill quickly.
Two days ago we got a call about a missionary from a neighboring country in
need of somewhere to stay for a few weeks because of the war soo we have an
American roommate! J She is really sweet and we are so excited she
is staying with us. What an adventure life is! You never know what this day may
hold. Whether “good” or “bad” it’s all good, ridding us of ourselves so that He
may have fill us. We are looking for another house now as we will be having
several different guests in the next few months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are just a
little excited about our guests as you can tell… :D And having more room for
the kids to run around would be great since our compound is a little crowded
and the neighbors don’t always appreciate the commotion. The kids will be
heading back to school in a few days…we are going to miss the older ones who
are heading to boarding school. They are sooo precious! Anyway we love you all
and thank you for your prayers and support!!!
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies
never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations
3:22-23
They thoroughly enjoy playing Sorry!
Cleaning beans :)
