Graduation, Dubai and Malaysia!!

Kathryn is getting ready to get her 8th grade diploma. She will be a high schooler next year....where is the little girl I know?????? She made it!!!
Goofing off with her best friend, Eirin who is leaving for Norway and will not be back :-(
Astrid and her mom. They forgot their camera so we offered to take their picture for them. Kathryn and Astrid has been classmates since Kindergarten!
At Java House, at Jomo Kenyatta Airport in Nairobi, getting ready to board the flight to Dubai! Guess where and what my family is up to????? My three goof balls....The Golden Arches of MacDonalds of course, in Dubai airport at 12 am!!!!
Home at last with family! My family organised a welcome dinner for us at a Chinese restaurant. YUMMO!This is totally "weird". Tony and the girls went shopping together at a mall called Mega Mall - the name is self-explanatory! They found this fish spa. It seems that you dunk your feet into this little pool and tens/hundreds of little fishes (imported from South Africa, nonetheless!) will start chewing on your feet and eating all the bacteria and dry skin and promote circulation and good health! The girls wanted to try it .... Eewwwww....if you ask me.....!Kat look pretty dazed huh??? I think she is overwhelmed by the many choices confronting her at.............guess where???

On the more serious note, after these few days of fun and relaxing, Tony and I are getting ready to work on ministry dates and services and praying and seeking the Lord for our time with the Body of Christ here. We trust the Lord to give us a word for His church here.

We also heard from our friends back in Nairobi campus that they are having a water crisis and will continue to be without water till Thursday - for my friends in Nairobi reading this, pole sana!! We will be praying for you guys - maybe :-)

Getting Ready for yet another trip!

Before I forget, I wanted the friends who have left comments on this blog to know that I read your comments as they are automatically sent to my email address. I tried replying to the address in the emails but it doens't get to you - it just redirects me to this blog again. Anyways, I want you to know that I appreciate the comments- tells me someone is reading what I am writing - I wonder sometimes!! Ok, two evenings ago I had another invite to join an evangelist to Goma, also in DRC. They are doing a crusade there- I cannot tell you how much I want to join them but I can't - not this time anyways. We are in the midst of preparing to return to Malaysia for two months to reconnect with churches and friends who supports our work here and also to give our report. We are also trusting God to connect with more people and churches who are interested in our work here. We need to raise so much more to empower and release more laborers to a ripen harvest in AFrica. I am so overwhelm wit...

ONE YEAR LATER!!! Yes, it's one year later since our return to Malaysia and Max made it and is still with us :-) I cannot believe that it was a year ago since I posted my last entry, and I am finding it even more amazing that we have actually been "home" for a little over a year! I can say that life in Malaysia has been full of suprises and is fast and furious. I was inspired to blog again when I was going through our digital photos and doing some digital decluttering. I was amazed by how much has happened in just a year. So, over the next few days, I am hoping to get you all caught up withn all that has happened the last 12 months and I will try to post as many pictures as I can.....I am not very patient waiting for pictures to upload :-) Max - survived the 24 hour journey and seems to have adapted pretty good to Malaysian life. We are so glad we brought him with us! Reunited with their youngest cousins ... Annabelle and Isaac. I think they will featured q...

The Secrets of a Pastor's Marriage

Recently I posted a picture of myself and a beautiful bouquet of flowers,,,,It was one of those special moments in our marriage. I had been feeling pressured with an unending to do list and preparing for a missions trip. I was sharing with Tony how stressed I was before leaving to have a quick dinner with Vickie. When I returned home, Tony suprised me with this beautiful bouquet. He just wanted to bless and encourage me.  Yes, he's sweet and thoughtful and let me just put it out there once and for all, HE IS ALL MINE :) I was surprised by the number of people who liked the post. I suppose many are "curious" what a pastor's marriage look like...is it perfect? Is it easier because both of us are pastors? I thought I share a few pictures and thoughts on the subject.   Firstly, our marriage is not perfect - it's just like yours - there are always up and downs, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the sweet and sour! In many ways, a ministers...
