Personal Greeting

Janus and StefanusWe have now been back in Namibia for over six weeks and the adjustment is complete.  We are settled in, at least, physically in our home and village. Schedules are back on track.  My children, as do I, remember fondly our wonderful time in the USA.  As I look at my boys who have been raised in an institution by foreigners and now me, I wonder where will they ever fit in? Then I am reminded that it is ‘In God I trust’! In thankfulness for His plan I will walk through each day. “For I know the plans I have for you. “ declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29.11 Praise God and Amen!

Travelers Return HomeWhew, has my transition back into Namibia been difficult!  Each time I return the entry is a bit different.  Our trip over the ocean was uneventful and the children did incredibly well! They are already “world travelers”.  All of our luggage arrived and the only thing missing seems to be a pile of old family pictures that I had packed.  It is an odd thing to go missing knowing that I had computers, clothes, shoes, medicines, etc. that would have been much more interesting to take.  I am grateful to God for all the prayers said on our behalf as God’s protection did surround us! Arriving back to a developing country is a bit of a shock.  Nothing goes easily.  Just trying to access unlimited internet in order to eventually get set up with SKYPE is proving to be an ordeal.  My children and I were so surrounded by love while in the USA that the contrasts of our Namibian life and that of our life in the USA is massive. “ Grant me the grace to fulfill my pledge of loyalty and service…” Isaiah 61.  We praise God for your prayers and loyalty in service to myself and my family!
