Greetings and blessings to all.
WOW on April 1st I will celebrate two major milestones in my life.
#1 The 31st anniversary of my salvation!!!!! Praise God I could not imagine any other leader to follow on this journey than Christ. Thank you Lord for keeping me sane, saved and stable.
#2 The first six months as a mama to Mwende. This too have changed everything! Only God. It has been an excellent and challenging six months. I know there are many years and events to go. But Thank you Jesus for the first six months.
The legal side of the adoption has hit its first delay Because of an administrative error my paper work was mixed up with another person (or group) problem. So it was delayed until their file was cleared. Now I have to repeat the three month foster care period to clear up the missing dates. This is not so bad. It gives me time to build up funds to cover the lawyer fees and stuff. Keep praying that no other problems or confusion will appear.
I am driving in Kenya At first I thought it would be so difficult but the weariness of carrying a child on the bus won out. It is so much nicer driving!!

Over the last six months I have stopped everything to learn to adjust to Mwende. Now I am praying to God on how, when and which ministries to re engage with for this season of ministry. Because of time and traffic I will not have the same amount of time, so I have to be more intentional and strategic about where I serve God Yes, I am here as a missionary and will continue in full time ministry. But now it has time, funding and energy level differences. PRAY that I will know where to re engage for ministry.
Finishing my Thesis is still on the horizon somewhere.
Mwende has started school and this will help in freeing up my time to serve and write.
Still learning...and growing
