God's Awesomeness!

I am alive! I realized I didn’t write after my climb. So if you are a person who comes to dramatic conclusions, you could conclude that I didn’t make it. Ahh, but it is quite the opposite. I made it all the way the summit! What a great experience it was. Thank you for you prayers for me and my team. All but 1 made it to the top and we all made it back down in one way or another. It was so great to get to know the kids better and to see God work in their lives. I could feel your prayers around me and I truly believe that God sent and angel to protect me and get me up the mountain. I had some knee and feet problems on the way down, so I rode the last bit down on my porter’s (bag carrier) back. Quite an experience. He ran and jumped down, wearing socks and flip flops, a span that would have taken me over 2 hours and took him only 25 min. We had a beautiful view up top! God is Awesome!
More new….I have some small stomach ulcers. I had been having reoccurring stomach problems, so went to a French specialist to get tested. I got an endoscopy done last Friday and was put under, which is why I forgot to write. I have meds for my small ulcers and a follow up appointment to try to prevent any further problems. I would appreciate prayers for this.
If you pay attention to international news you will know that both Kenya and Chad are very unsettled right now. We feel no effects of that, except for the evacuation of missionaries, some parents of our students. Kenya is having tribal wars as a result of the recent election and Chad has rebel soldiers rising up to the govt. and trying to take over. I encourage you to read up on the issues and pray for the situations. Choose to not be ignorant and even take action if you can.
It is very last right now (but by request of my sister, I am writing). Tomorrow we leave for our school retreat. I procrastinated on some last minute details and just finished them. But now I have to pack. If you know me well, this is now surprise. I am in charge of worship for the retreat and am very excited. Please pray with me seeking God’s provision and intervention during this week (5-8). I feel this is more in my element than teaching is and I am very excited to get involved. I am praying also for some sense of God’s leading for my future through this.
Well, this is detailed but shorter. I will post a picture of Mt. Cam if I can. But I am tired and hoping for bed soon.
I love getting letters from you. I have just received numerous Christmas ones and it brings me the joy of Christ’s birth all over again! What a blessing.
God be with each of you this week.
