Here we are

I have just a little time to send everyone an update. We made it to Kenya after about 10 hours of delays. By the time we made it we were all very tired! We are so thankful that we made it and that we are all safe.

Today is cleaning day. I feel a little bad because everyone is out cleaning and I am sitting in here blogging! :) After the cleaning gets done we may go for lunch in town. We don't really have a lot going on today so we can just do what ever. We had also talked about going and seeing so children in a different town.

Well that is really all that is going on today. I hope to post more latter. I have lots of things to post but they are all on my computer and its seems dumb to type it all up twice!

Keep us in your prayers!

Time to leave

Well tomorrow is the BIG day. Maybe HUGE would be a better word. I am getting so excited!!! Please keep us in your prayers as we travel! It is going to be a long two days with much excitement and joy. I know that this is Gods will and I know that we are in His hand. He has a plan for our lives!

Thank you everyone for your prayers

Much love,
Bree

There is no place better to be then in the center of God's will; Unless it be in His presence

Being in the center of God’s will. What does this mean to you? Are you in the place that God wants you to be? Am I? Do I truly work to be in God’s will for my life or am I running like Jonah? Running in the opposite direction. Away from the lost souls that God is calling me to help.

This is the question I have been pounding tonight. I am sitting and wondering what God is calling me to. I leave for Kenya in 16 days. When I come home I have no plans. I know that there is work for my in dad’s office, but is this where God is calling me? If not what is He calling me to? I have NO idea what the future may hold for me. None of us do. We are clay in Gods hands. It is His job to mold us. NOT OURS!

Me? A simple lump of clay? God surly you are not calling ME to do this. God it’s too hard! Ever felt that way? Moses did. He told God that he was not good at public speaking. But look what GOD did THOUGH Moses. With God we can do ANYTHING! My favorite verse Philippians 4:13 says “I can do ALL things though Christ who strengthens me.”

Am I willing to put God first and follow HIS will? How many times am I a Jonah? Do I run toward God or away? GOD I CHOOSE TO RUN TO YOU! NO LONGER WILL I RUN AWAY! GOD I AM YOURS! USE ME! SEND ME! SHOW ME YOUR WILL IN MY LIFE!

“Unless it be in His presence” What does this mean? To be in the presence of God. To live with Him for ENTERNITY! WOW. I can’t even imagine what eternity is. God has ALWAYS been and ALWAYS will be! It’s CRAZY to think of it!

What does it mean to die for Christ? Would you be willing to sacrifice all, if that’s what following God came to? Would I? Am I? If my family was put at risk would I be willing to still CHOOSE CHRIST? Would you? If we are not willing to die for Christ HOW can we say that we are living for Him? Unless I am willing to give up EVERYTHING, family, friends, material positions, then how am I TRULY following God? Following God should be all I need. Is it? I SAY YES! God is ALL I need. The blessing should be used to bring GLORY to Him. NOT take the glory from Him!
