Here is my first official update since leaving Kenya a week ago.

 

I can't say the transition has been easy, but I can say that God is faithful. I have experienced his peace and joy in ways like never before. The last few days have been full of catching up with Paul, family and friends, but also processing through the emotions of what it means to be home earlier than expected.

 

God has given me peace, crazy peace, that at times I cannot comprehend. It is all consuming and reminds me over and over again of how loving our God really is. 

 

So in the craziness of the last few days I have defined a few things that I would like to share with all of you.

 

My new job description! It is a little hazy, but as the weeks pass I am sure it will become clearer. Right now my main job is to work for Adventures in Missions till May 2009. I am still going to be living off of my support and investing my time in school responsibilities. On a day to day basis I will be working on support raising for the school,a school update, and projects that come along involving teacher contracts, supplies, etc. Michelle and I had great visions of what we could accomplish and that is still where we stand. I am excited to make an official presentation of the school and what it is about. I would like to share it with our current supporters and also our potential new ones. 

 

There is much work to be done for New Adventures School in Kenya and I am excited to be a small part of that! Please continue to pray for me as I embark on this role within Adventures in Missions. I am excited to see what will happen these next few months!

 

 There is a song that I would like to share with you - well the lyrics - no singing from me! It has been a song that is constantly played in my ipod, computer and in my car. The lyrics are the thoughts of my heart.

 

 

You are Good

 

When the sun starts to rise and I open my eyes

You are good, so good

In the heat of the day with each stone that I lay

You are good, so good

With every breath I take in

I'll tell you I'm grateful again

When the moon rises high before each kiss goodnight

You are good, so good

When the road starts to turn around each bend I've learned

And when somebody's hand holds me up, helps me stand

You are so good

 

With every breath I take in

I'll tell you I'm grateful again

Cause it's more than enough just to know I am loved

And you are good

 

So how can I thank you and what can I bring?

What can a poor man lay at the feet of a king?

So I'll sing you a love song it's all that I have

To tell you I'm grateful for holding my life in your hands

 

When it's dark and it's cold and I can't feel my soul

You are still good

When the world is gone gray and the rain's here to stay

You are still good

With every breath I take in

I'll tell you I'm grateful again

And the storm may swell even then it is well

And you are good
