And yet, when I got to thinking about it this morning, my days are quite different. On Facebook, I get a question of the week to answer. This week's question was, "What do you spend most of your day doing?" As I thought on the question, I realized that there is not one thing I spend most of my days doing.
I don't spend most of my days working on the computer. I don't spend most of my days in the car. I don't spend most of my days grocery shopping. I don't spend most of my days cleaning or washing or cooking. I have a really flexible schedule. Each week has its routine. And, each week has things on the schedule that can't be changed. For example, every Monday morning our team gets together and prays about the week ahead. Every Wednesday afternoon I lead a Bible study. Every Monday afternoon, I take Josh to speech therapy. But, other things in my schedule change. I don't always grocery shop on the same day. Some days, Kurt and I go out to lunch. Some days I have to stay home and get a Bible study prepared. Some mornings I get to go with Kurt to a Bible study in Soweto. I guess that is the beauty of being a missionary and a mom!
So...I may not have much to write about on my blog that seems really exciting. But...my life is definitely not boring!!
See you soon!

I ran across you site and send you blessings in the name of the Lord to Africa. My husband and I are members of Bellevue Baptist Chruch in Memphis, TN. and have made 2 mission trips to Africa-Nigeria and Angola in 2006 and 2007. We have flown through Joberg but that is all. I noticed you are a mom and I can imagine that is especially daunting on the field. I teach and write Bible studies for moms at my church. I thought you mind want to check it out. The lectures are archieved at www.bellevue.org and you can follow the links to the studies. They are for Moms but are Book studies of the Scriptures. I thought they might be of some encouragement to you on the other side of the world! You have to have high speed internet to access the videos and that may not be a possiblity, but if you can join us-please do-as we study the Word to see how it applies to mothering! Blessings in the name of the Lord.
I know your life could not possibly be boring- its so fullfilling what all you do...lucky duck!! Miss ya'll...love ya'll- tell everybody hey for me
