Fastforward and Rewind Dear Family and Friends, Hope this finds each of you well and feeling much gratitude filling your hearts this Thanksgiving season! Through our trip toNairobi in June God has moved in greater ways than we could have imagined. First of all, our home church Crosspoint Community has partnered with Jacaranda Creations to start up a sewing branch in another slum area of Nairobi. As you may remember, the Jacaranda is a tree plentiful in Nairobi. Brenda and Garry Kean, the founders of this micro-entreprise have more than 70 women and men sewing at locations around Nairobi. These men and woman live in desparate situations but are filled joy and hope in the Lord. They connect to him, knowing he is their vine and they are his branches. Mostly this connectedness comes through the work of Jacaranda Creations. It is so ex...
Today is it!! We miraculously leave again for Nairobi, Kenya. We owe thanks to so many people who have prayed, encouraged, provided financial provision and donations to take with us. THANK YOU!!! I will try to update this blog at least once. But we do have a FACEBOOK Page: Cross Point Nairobi Team. Please "like" our page and follow along there. Internet is not consistent while there, but we will do our best. It has been crazy these past few weeks with work responsibilities piling up for both John and I, family illnesses and then last weekend the sudden unexpected death of our nephew, William. Thank you once again for your prayers. I would be dishonest if I didn't say that each day this week has been difficult to emotionally engage in our trip to Nairobi. My heart is sad. I did have one friend write me and ask how I can reconcile this event with God, as "his timing is so confusing" This question has brought me to my knees....
Ok, here I go... off to the blogging world.... Why does this feel scary to me? I am only in my mid 40's and afterall isn't 40's the new 30's? I truly am excited to start this adventure if only as therapy for myself. Somedays there is so much tension between my heart and my brain I find it hard to think straight. Can you relate? Anyway, here I am if anyone would like to share in my journey and thoughts please do. I love company. Yesterday and today I worked with a patient who reminded me so much of my friend Melissa that died last July from lung cancer. Today was especially difficult. This patient's physical pain has been great and she keeps rubbing and pointing to the same location that I remember Melissa complained about. I do not provide bedside nursing, but I round with the doctors on patients who are admitted to the oncology service and help manage their care through their hospital stay and on into home needs. While I was in the room I actually had my fi...
