Post Trip Testimonies and BIG NEWS

Tony was in Medan and I found myself at Tabernacle of David as the team was giving their testimonies on the Cambodian trip and had a slide presentation; After the service, many were interested in future trips!  Exciting times ahead!





During one of tuk tuk ride in the evening, Christine Yap whipped out her fancy smancy super bright flashlight to help us climb onto the tuk tuk. She told me that it was a gift from Pastor David.  During lunch, I mentioned to Pas David about the flashlight and he ended up giving me 4!! These are expensive flashlights but super duper bright.   When I got home, I had fun playing with them and almost blinding my family! I LOVE gadgets :)
My sister, Ann, told me to get this for my tennis elbow...I did but it didn't help :(
I received this cute Baby Shower invite from our good friend in Tennessee.  I feel so blessed to have friends in many parts of the world and how we can celebrate with each other even though we might be thousands of miles away.
Okay, you have to admit this whistling kettle is so CUTE!!!! I LOVE IT, I WANT IT!!! CAN I HAVE IT??? PRETTY PLEASE??? TONY PHANG!!!!!!!!!!! You guys think he gets the hint? Or am I being too subtle? Should I be more direct?

We were at Pavillion and saw this music group - I think they are from South Africa.  Listening to them made me so homesick for Kenya...but I have a trip planned next year...so I will wait IMPATIENTLY for it.



A young lady whom I meet with regularly tweeted me this picture of her studying the Word - makes my heart sing when I saw this, especially when does it with a good cup of coffee!


BIG NEWSSSS....Saving this for the end....
This little person had such a complicated journey towards her college education....it was challenging while we were working towards it and at one point, things were looking really bleak, then a "SUDDENLY" happened for her and she is HEADING TO COLLEGE!!  We are so happy for her. Although, I am not sure how I will do when she does leave us...boohoo hoo
I may get to see this other little person soon :)

Since both girls are leaving us, I needed to train our youngest child to drive in case we needed a third driver. This was Max first lesson and I must say he did pretty good! If only he is tall enough to see where he is going...

I enjoy sharing bits of our lives with you guys! Take care everyone!

Turning 60 : Reflections on a New Season

  Turning 60: Reflections on a New Season I was having lunch with a friend yesterday and found myself talking about my 60th birthday. I’m not usually one to make a big deal about birthdays—but as I approached this milestone, I found myself reflecting a little more deeply. Sixty feels… different. Special, even. One birthday message on Facebook welcomed me to the “Senior Club.” Apparently, turning 60 bumps you into a whole new age bracket. What does that mean? Well, for starters, higher insurance premiums—got that notice earlier this year! But beyond the paperwork, it feels like a shift. This is the beginning of a new season. Some call it the “final” season of life—but I’ve decided to see it as a privileged one. Because now, at 60, I’m the youngest in this new demographic! There are perks too—senior discounts at movie theaters, restaurants, parks, museums. Priority seating on trains and planes. It took me six decades to earn these privileges, and I’ll gladly accept them! Looking...

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...

Vickie in Elsamere and Crescent Island (CFS)

While we face many challenges here in the missions field, we also reap many blessings. One of the biggest blessing to us is the great school that the girls attend : Rosslyn Academy. It started many years ago as a missionary school to cater for the needs of the missionaries' kids. The school has since grown and it is now one of the best schools here in Nairobi. We are very grateful for the quality education that our girls are getting. One of the highlight of the school year is CFS (Cultural Field Studies). The kids get to camp out someplace in the country to learn more about the country they live in. This year, the 7th graders went to Elsamere Park and Crescent Island. You can tell from the photos that they had a great time! They visited a local school and played soccer with the kids. Sports is such great way for kids to get together! These are dung critters..having a feast, I suppose....eewwwww... Miss Gac, she's a great teacher and Vickie loves her! She taught Kathryn...
