I feel like it is increasingly hard to blog. Part of that is because, though I think my life is exciting, I wonder whether you would appreciate my weekly adventures here in the states as much as when we were overseas. Maybe that’s just a constant lie from satan threatening to belittle this life God has given me. The other reason I find it difficult to blog is because things seem to be changing faster than I can type them.
Before you ask, I am still going to Kenya–that hasn’t changed. But beyond that, I am not really quite sure. I am still here in Pennsylvania–taking every chance I can to get away to warmer climate or visit friends. I spent much of October in Georgia and Florida; in November a weekend in Texas with my World Race buddies; and in December I’m hoping to visit Delaware and DC, and then head to Michigan to bring in the new year. I guess I am in and out of town a lot, but I like to keep on the move. I think it makes me feel like I’m still living the “race” life a bit.
Anyway, while back in PA I’ve been taking advantage of holidays with the family. My brother and I celebrated our birthdays together with our family and his wife’s; we all had a great Thanksgiving; I’m looking forward to the first Christmas in years with family.
Besides working, I’ve also been spending a lot of quality time in Starbucks. I’ve found that it’s one of the few places I can actually get things accomplished, believe it or not. Not only that, but I’m trying to get my fill while I have it–I don’t foresee finding one in Kenya. I have been able to spend hours there, in the Word and preparing for Kenya by writing letters and filling out paper-work.
I feel like God has really blessed this tough season of my life. I have seen again and again that waiting does not have to be passive. In fact, there has been a ton to do in this process of figuring out the next step. Thank you for your constant prayer and encouragement.
