Life

Life is crazy. But amazing. Mike and I spent an incredible 10 days in Nairobi. It definitely was life changing. Now where do we go from here? The day Mike went back to work, his boss laid him off. Now we are in the process of figuring out where God wants us to be. Does he stay at AT and T or does he move on? Our hearts are in Africa. Do we go there for mission work, or do we stay here and go there for short term work? Do I continue to school or do they go to traditional school? These are all the questions pondering us right now. MY heart tells me the kids stay home. They are not ready to go. I love having them home. Even though it can be exhausting, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I know my kids so well. We want to be involved in ministry somewhere. What do we do, where do we go. We love Africa and the people there. Just this past Sunday, our team did the "Arise my Love" dowel rod routine. We did great! Couldn't be more proud. There were two slide shows that just took us back to where our hearts are. We miss Doreen and the other children tremendously. But just thinking about a return trip to Nairobi and seeing those kids again, brings so much joy. I want to share that with my children. Someday, I hope they will also be able to go.
As we approach Thanksgiving, I am so thankful for so much. Even though Mike is unemployed right now, I am thankful for the time he is home and that he was also able to go to Kenya with me, that he was able to take that time to go. I am thankful for my children and the ability to keep them home to school. I am thankful that we have a home and food and clothes. I am most thankful that I have been rescued by my eternal saviour. This will be a hard time for us, but one of thanks for many things. And mathare area 2, I am always thinking of you................
