Move the Family to Kenya

- September 05, 2013

Esther and Jody Jody sat across from Esther and Emily, two of the nieces of our heart. The room was silent at times, accept for the ticking of the clock. There was an unspoken sadness that held thick in the room as this was there last day with us. Finally Esther expressed what she had been pondering over the past week, "Auntie Jody, tell your father to move the family to Kenya." The perfect solution! So it seemed to Esther and Emily, who having grown up in a communal culture where the entire family, including aunts, uncles, and cousins all had an active role in their lives. Surely, if the father of Auntie Jody and Auntie Christy moved to Kenya, then their American aunties would never have to leave them again. Jody assured them that though we would be miles away, God's Holy Spirit connected us as though there was no distance separating us.

- July 20, 2011

Hello Friends! While agonizing with the Lord over something difficult in my life, I was reminded to re-read my blog posts. This particular one reminded me that even though the storms come, God has been faithful in the past and He will continue to be faithful in the current circumstance. I hope you too recall God's faithfulness in your life. I am now on the brink of seeing my business launched called Welcome Services, which will be coaching individuals through the stress of culture shock and training company employees on how to transition well cross-culturally. But this dream did not happen overnight. I felt I needed to share with you how God has used Waiting as like an old friend to shape and mold me. I entered the Waiting Wilderness, when 16 years ago, doctors discovered I had a life long illness. Young, passionate, and a burden to serve God as a missionary, I remember lying in bed, my body racked with pain. I felt trappe...
