momma i'm comin home!

Hello followers of my blog. Or maybe you were just curious of my recent post to Facebook. Anyways thanks for your interest in my life.... and my family's!

So...... here it is!

After 5 1/2 years in Africa we are headed home.

As Abby would say, "We are just going to that place we call home, but I'm not sure why because home is here in Africa." We have been very blessed to have served in Africa over the past few years. I really count it a huge gift that the Church of the Nazarene has given to our family. We have seen, heard and been a part of some really great things God is doing. We know He will continue to do great things here and we also know He is preparing a new path for us where He will also do great things.

As our time here come to a close, we have mixed feelings. We are excited about returning to our home country (in May) but sad to leave a place where we have called home for most of our children's lives (all of Silas' life!). Abby turns 9 this weekend and when we left for Senegal she was 3!  Time does fly!

As we enter another big transition time we appreciate your prayers for us! Here are a few things just off the top of my head ;)

selling our car and belongings here in Rwanda
transition for the kids... and of course me and Spencer
finding a place in ministry back in the States

For all of you who always said you were gonna come to Africa to visit.... you snooze you lose! Ha!
For those of you who have prayed for us, came to see us, sent us care packages, emailed us encouraging words, gave us financial support we thank you from the bottom of the salsa bowl! We love you as much as the chips and salsa from a real mexican restaurant. We appreciate you! We can't wait to see you.


Love all y'all and remember.... momma I'm coming home! (does anyone remember that 80's rock song?)
