okay, so ive never blogged before and actually am very bad at journaling all together! but i am going to give it my best try while matt and i venture out to the unknown... unknown to us at least.

after a nice christmas vacation we came back to arizona and began the drawn out job of ending our lives in america and moving across the world. weve had to cancel bank accounts and open new ones, sell matts first car, give away our kitty, and box up all our junk. in fact, we just finished loading all our furniture into the big van (im typing this entry from the floor in my empty apt).

its crazy to think that in a matter of days we will be in kenya. its been such a desire of mine for so long to minister overseas and when i stop to rest for just a second the thought is somewhat overwhelming. What a blessing it is, that God has allowed matt and i to serve him. and the way things have fallen into place is just amazing. i guess thats the way God likes to do things.... amazingly!

im excited to start this new journey, and especially excited to share it with you! thank you for your prayers and support.
