When we arrived in Kenya Traivs and I had this bright idea that we could get up the very next morning and I would do all the grocery shopping, with the girls in tow, and he would run the gazillions errons he needed to do. Well we did do it, maybe not so gracefully, but we accomplished all we needed to do and headed for home two days after landing.
We jumped right back into things when we got home, for me that was cleaning the layers of dust off every thing, sorting all our supplies and helping the girls get back into a routine of school and chores. Our school, Mara Christian, was hopping when we got back and we got involved right away, finding out how they fared this year and helping them come to the close for the year. We couldn't be happier with the school. The teachers have worked hard and the students were in good spirits and very well behaved.
My first Sunday back I taught the fist chapter of Daniel to our upper elementrey kids. After not speaking Swahili fluently for a year I felt like a drunk baboon trying to teach! But, with God's grace I made it through and also taught the ladies Bible study. I enjoy teaching both of those so much. Our church kids have grown so much over the years, they really know the Bible. God's word never returns void!
I think my biggest struggle back has been trying to balance all I have to do in a day which includes, house work, homeschooling, helping Traivs and tons of ministry oppurtunies and needs. God is good to show us where HE wants us to serve. I came across a sermon by Martin Lloyd Jones, whom I love to listen to speak, and he was talking about Mary and Martha and how the duties that Martha had were important ones, but what Mary chose to do was what was spiritually important at the moment. I've really tried to cling to that thought as I spin all the plates of my day and truly seek from God what is important for me at each moment. Your prayers would be much appreciated!
To God be the glory in ALL things!
