We made it to Kijabe this morning and while Erik and I unpacked bags, the kids explored our amazing yard. We laughed when we literally had to shake the dirt out of the 2 year old's curls before we could let him back into the house.
I have shared with many of you that I have been particularly concerned about our 8 year old's adjustment as he has been extremely nervous about this move and I've asked for you to pray for this transition. Today I was so touched to see how God answered your prayers. We had been at the house for less than 2 hours when we sat down for lunch. While we were eating we went around the table and everyone said what their favorite thing was so far. Obviously the 2 year old liked the sand box (which should probably be called a dirt box), the 5 year old liked the tree house and our 6 year old said she liked the whole house. When we got to our 8 year old he said, "I like everything about it. It just feels like home." Thank you so much for your prayers; we can't do what God has for us to do here without the wonderful senders we left behind!
So grateful for safe travels and that the kids are settling in. PTL for a new place already feeling like home!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the updates!! We'd love to see pictures of your new home! Hugs to everyone!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is great, Amanda. Continuing to pray for you guys as you all make the adjustment. Excited to follow along and see how God uses you all there.
ReplyDeleteWhat an answer to prayer!! LOVE IT when God does things in a BIG WAY!! Can't wait to see pics and hear more in the days ahead!
ReplyDeleteso where did they end up putting you? Are you on the top floor of the new building they were constructing?
ReplyDeleteYay! He has been on my mind and I will continue to pray for all of you! Kasey :-)
ReplyDeleteLove that you got there safely and that the kids are adjusting, you will continue to be in our prayers. Much love!
ReplyDeleteWe were so glad to hear that you guys arrived safely. We prayed for you throughout the day when you were traveling to Kijabe. Our family continues to pray for your family every night and Caleb stills refers to all of the kids as "my new friends: :)
ReplyDeleteLove and prayers,
