Beautiful Feet



Yesterday was our annual Missions Conference at church. It always stirs something inside of me. God knocks me off my feet every time the Wards visit from Thailand and every Missions Conference. It never fails.

In 2000 I went to Costa Rica and in 2002 went to Mexico. In 2010 I went to Ethiopia to meet my new son. In all these places God touched my heart in a real and powerful way. Since Costa Rica 10 years ago I have had a passion for missions and still feel a tug. Someday, I believe God might ask Dave and I to partake in missions in a much larger way then we do now (financially supporting missions) but for now this is it. However, God put something in my heart yesterday and I couldn't ignore it.
I came home from church and told Dave that I felt God calling me to go on a short term mission trip. I don't know where or when but I must go. Dave's fully supportive and wants to make it happen. I'm looking at next summer and I am thinking about Chile. I really would love to go to a Spanish speaking country. I need to spend some time praying and pricing things out. I am really excited about this cause I haven't gone on missions in 8.5 years. I have a friend who's thinking about the same things and I am hoping it works out that we can go and serve together somewhere.

Romans 10:15
And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

What's next?
*pray
*choose a trip/location
*raise money
*buy Roseta Stone/work on my Spanish

It's a . . .

BOY!! Liam is a big brother to a beautiful baby boy! Gabriel Asher was born at 8:55 PM on March 16th. He weighed 9lbs. 2.9oz and was 21 inches long. We were at church for a meeting with all the youth workers and after the meeting I (Kami) was having more intense contractions and just not feeling right. A mother of a couple of our high school girls offered to take me home with them and let me rest at their house while Dave stayed at church to run our Sunday night youth group. It wasn't long after arriving at their house that my water broke. I called for Dave to come pick me up and we headed to the hospital. It was slightly under 3 hours later that our little boy came into the world. It was quick and everything went smoothly. Gabriel got a 9 out of 10 on both his apgar tests which made us proud. He's nursing like a pro and so beautiful! ...

Time with God

A Beth Moore study started at our church while we were in Ethiopia. I am one week behind but am doing my best to stick with it. I really want to do it and the homework has been great for me and my current situation with motherhood. But finding a moment of quiet to get the work done is a whole other thing. I wasn't in the word like I should have been before Judah came home. But I was super excited to take the workbook with me on our trip and start getting into scriptures. Since I've been home it's been very frustrating because every time I sit to do it there's a fight to break up, a diaper to change, a mouth to feed or anything else you can think of. This morning I went to breakfast with a friend and had 2 hours to kill afterwards before a doctor's appointment. I went to a coffee shop and got some of the homework done and read some very encouraging scriptures. It was so good for me and got me refocussed on my current calling in life: motherhood! I was reminded that m...

Thailand part 4- the aftermath

Image
We've been home for over a week. Thailand seems so distant a memory now and I feel like its almost just a dream that I will carry with me in my heart but not something that I truly experienced. I loved Thailand. I felt at home there right away. This isn't something I have experienced in every foreign country I have visited. It's a hard thing to explain. I didn't feel this way in Ethiopia which seems weird since it was my sons homeland and culture. I loved Ethiopia and would love going back someday but it wasn't home. But Thailand was different. Dave and I both felt it. I actually felt so comfortable that I found myself forgetting that I was the foreigner and looked very different from the locals. I feel strongly God will take us back someday and I can't wait. My heart leaps within me as I think about it! We met two women who are with the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Thailand. One is originally from Washington state but has been a missionary in Thailan...
