home, sweet home

we're home!

after allowing ourselves a few days to recuperate, i think we all feel "normal" again. the funny thing about this trip: "normal" has been redefined.

i wish i could tell you everything i learned. i wish i could voice all of the thoughts and emotions in my head...but this would no longer be a blog, it would be an electronic book.

the Lord taught me many things during the two weeks in these middle eastern countries. i love politics and i love the news and i love hearing what our church is doing, and traveling to the middle east has put a face to the vision and heart of the church at battlecreek.

as i looked into the eyes of the people i met, i was overwhelmed by all i saw. this is not a lost cause...this is not too big. it is not to big for God. egypt isn't just full of coptics or muslims...it is full of people who have souls who were created by God in His image. their purpose is the same as ours--to glorify God in all that we do. they just need to be told.

i cannot wait to see the ways God continues to move in the middle east. i cannot wait to see how He uses me and my family. i cannot wait to see how He uses TCABC in His plan to bring the world to Himself.

thank you for praying for us and keeping up with this blog. we cannot express how much we appreciate your support during our time away. may the Lord bless you tremendously!

because of HIM,
kristi
