December 3, 2010 - New projects

Sorry it's been awhile.   Life has been pretty hectic.    Getting all the photos and bios done for Fox River's Gift for Jesus this December and then we had a death of someone so I have been helping a close family with that.   It was the death of a parent of a 12 year old so a lot of emotional and other issues to deal with.   This are going well there, but please send a pray.

God has been leading me to do a run/walk to raise money for the well that is needed in South Coast where they are greatful for dirty water.   Kristen would do a similar run/walk on the same day in Kenya.  
Kristen and I are also working with Rotary Clubs here in WI and also in Kenya to raise money. 

If you know anything about either of these things, please let me know I really don't have any experience in either of these areas.   

I have also compiled a listing of financial resources available for people interested in International Adoption - if you know anyone that could benefit from that, please let me know and I can email it to you.  

I hope you all have a great Christmas holiday.   I look forward to a great one as well.    Talk with you soon.

Carrie

AFTER YEARS OF WORK, THINGS ARE COMING TOGETHER!

Saturday, March 31, 2012 Great start of the day with a run down to the beach.  I made good running time, and did it all by myself which is a miracle.  For those of you that don ’ t know, I HATE to run.  That is a whole different journey that God has me on, training for a half marathon.  I ’ ve always been a walking fan.  Walking is the same as running as long as you do it long enough was always my motto, but since I started running in December, I can honestly say that is definitely not true.  Running is so much more.  I hate it, but it is so much better for me than walking or any other type of exercise.  It is a great way to clear your head, tone your body, and increase your energy even if you are miserable even thinking about it!  When I got to the beach, looking out over the ocean there was a peace.  If God can take care of keeping the oceans where they need to be, He can take care of my small problems, even if they seem large to me ...

FIRST PICTURE - KIDS AT VIPINGO WAITING FOR ACTIVITIES.  SECOND PICTURE A SMALL EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE SHANZU BAGS THAT WE ARE SELLING TO RAISE MONEY TO PURCHASE LAND TO BUILD A PREGNANCY CRISES CENTER. TIME TO RECHARGE Sunday, June 24, 2012 Got up late, through was up at 5am originally, got out of bed at 8:15am.  Pam and I headed right down to the ocean with her journal and my morning readings.   Such a relaxing time and place with the Indian ocean being so beautiful and just awesome.  It ’ s high tide so can hear waves like you ’ re in the ocean. Then ate breakfast with the quieter part of the group which was nice.   Then off to church at Crossroads Nyali.   It is a church just like our church, Fox River in the states, contemporary through Fox River is at least 10 times louder with their music, it's not your normal church.  That was great to see lots and lots of people I knew there and to recharge.    ...
