Our team was commissioned in prayer this morning at church, and we are ready to be ambassadors to Kenya!
I'm so honored to spend the next two weeks with Penny, Hillary, Beth, Rachel, Sara, Kenny, Nick, Robert, Kevin, and Isam. We're quickly becoming a close-knit team!

His glorious riches
I was reminded today how much God enjoys meeting our needs.....
Thursdays are trash days in my neighborhood.... And after backing out of my driveway this morning, I realized I had forgotten to set my garbage can out for pick up. As I dashed back into the garage, I noticed that my neighbors across the street had a suitcase in their trash pile.
Hmm.... that could come in handy....
I spontaneously grabbed the discarded luggage and hauled it into my trunk, knowing that we would be packing all our Kenya supplies tonight.... and chances were, someone might have forgotten to bring an extra bag.
When I walked into our Kenya meeting lugging the extra suitcase, it quickly became apparent why God had directed my attention to the trash heap this morning.... We are taking three computers with us to Kenya, packed securely in suitcases so they can be checked on the plane.... and we were one suitcase short.
Until that moment.
And after a bit of zipper-wrangling, Pastor Isam was able to accomplish the goal!
A perfect fit. Because we have a perfect God, who perfectly meets our needs, according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:19)
And sometimes, He uses a trash heap.

countdown to Kenya

jet setter
My job takes me all across the country, which also affords me the privilege of living out of suitcases and viewing the world from 10,000 feet. After flying home yesterday from yet another business trip, I figured out that I've traveled 28 days in the last 3 months!
With all the coming and going, I've explored my fair share of airports over the past several years - and recently, I discovered a new favorite. Can anyone guess what city this airport is in? I'll give you a clue... there's a Motown store just around the corner.
I stood mesmerized by this fountain for at least 15 minutes..... watching the water change shapes and patterns... watching the people watch the water... watching the clock so I didn't miss my plane while watching the people watch the water....
