2 weeks (ish)

So Christmas and New Years are completed for another year and 2011 has already begun. I have been struggling with posting anything on my blog for several reasons... But I have decided I would press on and just go for it.
I had a wonderful nearly 2 weeks at 'home' in Centeral New York. ( not western or upstate...be sure of that) ha. Ithaca proved to be a great place to spend the time needed to 'rest' and re-collect myself. I love that God plans every detail of our lives. The reasons why my parents were sent there are obvious for both them and the corps family. But, sometimes as we forget that we can benefit from things like this. For me, it's the perfect contrast from my new adventure of SF city living. I forgot how much I love the country, eastern style. No offensive, but the west here, your idea of farm land.. you can keep it. Give me my green (white with snow) rolling hills ( bumps) and frost heaved roads over dirt smog infested brown stuff.

This weekend however I traded both for a land I have never seen before. I am use to snow. Spending time in both western ny and new england snow is a norm. And mountains, I have seen mountains driven up in mt. Washington in nh. Someone recently reminded me that we from the east have no idea what mountains really are. Of course, I disagreed. Well, I hate to admit it.. but they were right.. Both visually, and physically. This whole elevation thing... U2 had it right.. woohoo...

Now, for the next 2 weeks I will be preparing for yet another adventure.

PS. I have the best land people ever : )

I will be heading to Kenya. I can't believe this is actually happening. So, whom ever is out there reading this. Please pray... I can't wait to meet the people and dance and sing, and pet the lions. ( ok ok, I won't.. but I will want to.) and see what new thing God has for me. That verse from Isaiah has been very prominent in my life.. my version, is get a grip, move forward for see, I ( God) am doing a new thing in and through you...
