I AM BLESSED, BLESSED, BLESSED! My heart is full to over flowingAfrica (2/8-23/2010) was awesome, every day of the trip was a fantastic experience. A new story unfolded each day! Returning home was equally joyful and sleeping in our own bed was a treasure even though sleep was spotty and our days and nights are turned around! However, I feel reasonably good; my adrenalin must be high!
Items we brought home from Burundi, the Congo and Nairobi, fill the dining room table and kitchen counter, ready to be itemized, given as gifts or prepared for selling for missions. The washer and dryer are humming, clean clothes are hanging to complete their drying as I sit on the couch, typing away, reaching my mind and heart to heaven.
What a privilege to read Gods Word, focus my mind on Him, the reality of eternity and His Purpose as my day begins! My prayer list grows and grows as my journeys continue:
