Hello friends and family!

Thank you all for your prayers and concerns for myself and my Kenya missionary team. I am writing to let you all know that the decision was made to postpone our trip until a later, and hopefully safer time. If all is well, we are looking at June 17-July 1.

Please continue to pray for the nation of Kenya as well as the nearly 250,000 people who have been displaced. They have a long road ahead of them!

All my love.
Grace

Kenya

I hate to write this update in a hurry, but....perhaps something is better than nothing? As you may have already heard in the headlines, prayers are desperately needed for the nation of Kenya. After a [supposedly] rigged presidential election a few weeks ago, political and social unrest remain. Will you please pray:

  1. for rioting and protesting to cease
  2. for peaceful communication between political parties
  3. for relief for people left hungry, homeless, unemployed
  4. for my missionary team- that we would receive divine wisdom concerning our travel, scheduled Feb. 14-28- that God would intervene if it is unsafe for us to go
  5. for Dan and Patty, our hosts, living in Kenya, that they would remain safe, and that we would know best how to help them
Infinite thanks to all of you who have prayed and given support! I have been abundantly blessed by your generosity.

Never Be Enough

if there was an offering i could bring
worthy of the love shown me

it would spread like an ocean
wide and deep
stand tall like a mountain
and sing like a breeze
it's color's would rival autumn leaves
but that would never be enough

because Your love
holds back nothing
only Your love
makes me worthy

if there was an offering i could bring
worthy of the love shown me

it would spring from the ground
like fragrant trees
fill desert places
with rushing streams
bring warmth and light
to lifeless things
but that would never be enough

because Your love
holds back nothing
only Your love
makes me worthy

You give love beyond oceans
wide and deep
higher than mountains
yet gentle and sweet
You color my life
with all good things
and i'm covered in Your love
Jesus, You make me enough
