christmas is almost here. okay i know for some of you your thinking christmas? but this year we get to see my parents and spencer's parents... yes of course all our other family members! i am so excited this year. it seems like forever since we have been able to spend the holidays with the people we love the most. i am also excited to see santa. i have a huge list... i mean my kids have a huge list : )
during our family prayer time last night abby said the 13th commandment was we believe in the triune God. lol i guess she is getting a little confused with the articles of faith and the commandments. it was pretty funny.
okay so i have a lot on my mind today. my thoughts keep moving me from one thing to another. thinking about life and what each day holds for us. to be quite honest i sometimes think about what life would be like if we were living in a more comfortable place. would any other place be more comfortable? i am sure if you are reading this and you are in the ministry you can relate. "what would another assignment be like" "if only we could lead that church"??? Today i am at peace that God has brought us here for today. that He will give us peace and the strength to live for him today and here where i am (right now it is in the washer/dryer/my office/tool area office).
i think about what my kids feel. actually they don't really know too much of a difference between living in africa or america. yes they know that target.com and walmart.com has cool toys but they are living where we are. they have no choice to but live in the place where their parents are. it makes me think... i need to always live where my father is (no not FL) my heavenly father. I need to live the same whether i am here or there. so today i will live in the presence of the Lord here in Rwanda. it's where i belong.
