Well, Amy's water broke....so we are here at the hospital waiting....
The doctor said she could deliver anywhere within the next day to the next week. I told her since she woke us all up at 12:15, and made us come to the hospital at 1 am, he better come tonight!! :) She is at 33 weeks now and that is a miricle of God! She has been here at the hospital since she was 22 weeks. The doctor came in and said as she was reading her chart, she couldn't believe the progress. Praise the Lord. I am so thankful for the way God has kept her and Nathan! If she delivers now, there are still risks because the baby still is not fully developed, however, they are significantly lower. So I am continuing to believe God for a healthy baby! Anyhow, right now, I am just waiting!!! Which, well thats been the story of my life!!! :)

Where Did The Time Go???????
So I just checked out my High Schools 10 year reunion page!! Are you kidding me!!!!!
I refuse to believe I have to be a grown up. I certainly don't feel like one. I guess according to numbers I am, but I tell you I spend so much time with youth, that I think I still am one. Although I must say, at times, my body tells me otherwise. I used to say that I would not attend my reunion unless I was married. For some reason I thought that would define whether I was successful or not. That was when I didn't know better! I won't go into all the spiritual things God has taken me through these last 2 years but I will say this, I have learned to be content. I am happy. I have a good life. I have a wonderful family, amazing friends and a great job! The Lord has taught me that when you are content with where you are at, then and only then, will He move you. And those of you that have known me these last 2 years, know that the Lord has taken me from glory to glory! So I look forward to seeing my former classmates, married or single, I am successful!

Sicko!
Well I spent the ENTIRE weekend sick in bed! I had fever, sinus infection, my throat hurt! I was miserable. I slept so much it was pretty unbelievable. Thankfully, I was smart enough to stay home all weekend because I started my new job today! I had cabin fever and was dying to get better because I did not want to spend another day indoors!! Especially considering it was so nice out today. And thankfully I got to spend much of the day on the field, visiting sites so I got to enjoy the weather!!! Praise the Lord!

Chaos In Kenya
Well is been a long time since I last posted. As a matter of fact, the last time I posted a blog, I was in Kenya. I have been home for several months now. And though lots, and I mean lots, has happened since I have been home, this blog won't tell you about any of it. Not today.
Surely many of you have heard about the riots happening in Kenya. There is a lot of political strife going on and it has resulted in over 300 deaths thus far. My heart has been aching for the people of Kenya. For me this has become something that is not in a far away 3rd world country. This is something that is happening to my friends. It is happening around the children that I have hugged and kissed. Around the children that so happily sang " I am Not Forgotten" It is happening in the slums that I was so privileged to minister in and on the roads I frequently traveled on. Uhuru Park, where todays rally was supposed to take place, is a park I passed almost daily. My heart has been saddened by what is taking place and I have wept while calling on God.
I am thankful that I have received word that, although, the people I worked with are safe, they are not able to return home to Nairobi. Many of them were visiting relatives out of town. There are 10 children in the orphanage (which of course is on lock down), and the rest of the children are with relatives throughout Kenya. We will not have any word on them until the madness ceases.
Since I have been back home, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about my time there. It is a place that I grew to love. Often times, I have said "if they put me on a plane today, I would go back". And despite what is going on now, I long for the day to return (although I wouldn't get on a plane today!). Kenya is such a special place for me, I cannot even describe it.
Please pray for the peace in Kenya. Pray for the safety of the Kenyan people as well as all the missionaries there. ElDoret, which is one the hardest hit areas, is also where the Rift Valley Academy is. RVA is a boarding school for missionary children. So there are alot of MKs very close to the danger.
I know that God is sovereign and in control of all things. And I know God is in Kenya, I know because I was there and I felt His presence. Unfortunately, the people there have decided to take things into their own hands and leave God out of it. I pray that the Spirit of God would grab ahold of them and they would change their ways.
I promise that my next entry will be less sad, but please keep Kenya in your prayers.
