COMING HOME

Leaving Kenya was hard. So hard, that it has been difficult to put it into words. I felt so alive there, so used by God. Every day brought new challenges and purpose. I questioned, how could we leave, yet it was clear to Lewis that staying as a family, on our own in the time of uncertainty was not what God wanted. It was a HUGE step of faith to leave what God had started. We weren’t certain where we would live with our home being rented. All our furnishings and household goods had been sold. BUT GOD amazes us again and again. We are renting a quiet country home from missionaries over seas that has everything we need until our old home is available. This has been great for us allowing us to begin the process of reconnecting with our friends and getting our children reengaged in school life. We are energized and my heart is now soaring as we invest our lives in orphan ministry in ways that have even greater impact than before. Melody
