Let the adventures begin...

Hi and welcome the first of many blogs yet to be posted! I am excited to have you tuning into this amazing journey that I have been called to. To be honest, I'm not really sure what to say on something so public, as I mostly enjoy my one on one time with each of you, but I know contact in Kenya will be scarce through anything but letters and some form of mass emailing. So, hopefully this will serve its purpose well and I may be provided the opportunity of keeping all of you in the loop.

The status so far, I received my application acceptance Monday, May 18th, 2009. I have sent out my letters of support. One of my bosses proposed putting together a bowl-athon in honor of raising some financial support for this endeavor. I feel like my life as I know it has been turned upside down and sideways. I used to think that the boundaries to my ability to remain comfortable with what God has planned for me were pretty wide and space vast in between, but I'm learning just how out of my comfort level I feel. We have been doing a Beth Moore study in my women's group entitled, "Living Beyond Yourself". Talk about a more perfect time to be studying that! lol, I know that what I am embarking upon is definately something greater than that which I would ever have imagined or been capable of by myself. I have hit what has felt like some insurpassable walls of fear, guilt, and insecurities than I could ever imagine facing by myself, here in the past few months and even weeks! I am so grateful to have a King who is so big and mighty that there is Nothing that He cannot do! Amen? He provides a peace that outweighs all other emotions.

It's late and I need to head to bed soon, but a couple of songs that have really encouraged me lately have been: ClearView by Tal & Acacia, and Hope Now by Addison Road. If you have the chance to listen to them, I highly recommend it. They are really great! The words of Hope Now are my heart's anthem at this point...everything rides on hope now, everything rides on faith somehow. When the world has broken me down, His Love sets me free. He has become my hearts desire....

Thank you so much, not just for your prayers, but for all the support that you have given me throughout my life.

Christ in Love <3+
