Well, it has been a long while since I have posted, however I do have a very good excuse-in fact several! First Les and I finally got around to painting our bedroom-however the day after we had the whole room cleared out and the walls washed and the primer on-we all fell ill to the stomach flu and proceeded to stay in bed (well at least Les got to) or lay around on the couch and have all orfices of your body tormented by small sharp fingers (hmmm I wonder who had that pleasure!) So needless to say-what should have been a two day stint turned into a week long hassle-we finally moved back into our bedroom last night-and ohhhh what a night it was ahhhmmm....hey before you start thinking x rated let me remind you that we were puking for three days!!! I was meaning we got to sleep in our ever so soft KING size bed (a very very wonderful Christmas present!) with clean sheets and duvet and loads of room to wiggle and get comfortable (in case I haven't mentioned it before-Les kicks like a mule and roles over and beats me up in his sleep!) Ohh how wonderful-and then to top it off -no more hideous green walls-instead lovely beige and chocolate brown! Oh I really do love my new bedroom!
Anyways...so after all this you of course realize that the rest of the house was completly trashed-oh wait-it still kind of is!! AAAAAAHHHHH! So tommorows job is cleaning up, because guess what??? We are going to paint the rest of the house!-ok well we have already painted the spare room-oh wait that was me! And now our room is done, so we have hallway, livingroom, diningroom and two bathrooms! I mean really that should only take us hmmmlets see-a month or two! lol well you get my drift, we have been very busy and I am sorry to not keep you posted. I had the immense pleasure of seeing the Watoto childrens choir perform on Tuesday-they are from a Ugandan childrens home and they were amazing-I cried through the first bit -not because it was sad but just to see God at work in such a tangible way. Those children touched my heart and reminded me that God has bigger things for my life someday. For those of you who don't know-I attended Moody Bible Institute for a year because I wanted to be a missionar-and I still do. However I see myself working in an orphange or childrens home instead of teaching school.
But we will see-you never know where or when God's going to change your plans! I will be posting some pictures of the choir as soon as Justine send them to me! hint hint!
I will also post some pics of my bedroom before and after-as soon as I get them developed.
Nothing new happening adoption wise-God has been really blessing me with peace and encouragement-I really want to recommend an amazing devotional-Streams in the Desert by L.B Cowman wow it has been hitting me right where I need it the most and opening my eyes to seeing my Lord in everything.
Well I think that is all tonight, blessings to you all!
In Him
