Habits die hard.....

I wanted to write today! It was such an encouragement to have so many come to the Sunday open house. I wanted to thank you.....if you are still reading this!
I found it easier to speak up in Rwanda then in my own home church! Interesting isn't it! I'm hoping that as a few more days pass.....I can think better and understand better what it is that God has done these past few months. It wasn't about me.....the trip to Rwanda.....but I am seeing that coming back with a different perspective on things involves a bit of introspection to assess the changes! I want to be forever changed! And I want to be able to communicate what it is God has done/is doing better than I tried to on Sunday!
I'm so grateful for my dear husband! He really is giving me time to adjust to life back here! I need to start working once again. I have found all the people who I worked for before I left still want me back......after fending for themselves all summer! (I clean houses/help elderly people live in their homes.)
I'm listening to the birds of Rwanda right now on my audio tape player. What a joy it was then and now too! God didn't have to make them with so many different songs but HE did! Why? Think about it! It's because He loves us and this, His creation shows us by the care He put into it all! My students even had a song talking about this!

They say it takes only 21 days to start a new habit! I'm beginning to believe it! I keep coming back to this page and wondering if I should post anything.....well, I wonder if there is anything worth recording.......AND I think yes! there is! God is the same here in US as HE is in Rwanda. The circumstances I find myself in today are very different from last week, but I know a few more things about this wonderful God we serve! I long to share them, record them, never forget them so to encourage others!

The lost bags are found

Here's a praise! I received word that my lost luggage is coming to my doorstep today! What a wonderful blessing! Thank you for praying about this!
I'm so very grateful.....Virginia's ESL books are in that bag too......along with my son's drum, tea and letters! So! praise God with me about their return!

Will you read this, even though I am home now?

I just wanted to let you all know that I made it home! Thank you for praying about the journey homeward. It was so uneventful that I just don't have much to say about it. Oh, I do have a prayer request however, two of my bags were lost somewhere enroute. So, my son's drum didn't get home ......yet!
Thank you for praying!
I have received many emails from friends in Rwanda.....that has helped........!

Let's pray that these rabbit pairs just really produce.... lots more bunnies!!!! They can trade them for items they need, sell them, or whatever........it's the dry season right now and so vegetation is getting browner by the day but with the trimmings from the food they eat...do rabbits eat potato peels?....Let's pray it will work!
