So we are getting settled back into our house. For me, I am back at work in Kilgore. Today is my one year anniversary at Cypress. Definitely glad we planned some down time days between our flight back from AK & my days back at work. We slept a lot those first days, making up for lost time. We also tried to lasso the house into submission. CJ has been working outdoors & me mostly indoors. A family of moths decided to make my kitchen pantry their home over the last month. They made holes in everything & laid eggs in everything. Gross- really. I had to go through it all & throw most things out. Even plastic bags were no match for the likes of them. Found some Mason jars at garage sales last weekend- trying to put everything in glass containers until the population is under control. CJ accidentally ate a moth the other day when biting into a Ginger Snap. That is where we draw the line!
While we are on the subject… lets talk about those large wolf spiders that cohabitate in our house with the moths. We are SO outnumbered. CJ killed a momma spider the other night & 30 babies went crawling through our carpet. I guess she was giving them a ride on her back. I can’t handle this any more! The bug police are coming over today. No joke.
Looking back though- Had a great time at camp. Hope to post more photos in time. It was a real struggle this year, but I feel like I came out with a better perspective on our relationship with the Lord & a hunger to have a more intimate relationship with Him. Discovering that the work of evangelism has very little to do with what we manipulate, but rather God allowing us to play an active roll & observe His mighty work in people’s lives.
“So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.”
~ I Corinthians 3:7
We hosted a hot dog cookout with Pastor Brian & his family last night. His three girls had large amounts of fun sliding down our fire pole. It was a blessing to see Brian & Christie’s heart for the people of Kenya. Brian has seen many of the same slum areas in Nairobi as I saw last summer. He shared with us about Lifepoint church being on the verge of playing a huge roll in a school located in the largest slum in that area (Kibera). CJ & I are excited about the ministry possibilities that will result from this partnership & are very proud to be part of a body in Longview that cares.
Meanwhile, we are excited, but very unsure what the Lord has for us this time next year. Please pray for wisdom for us in that area of our lives.
