Waiting on God and Another Kindle Freebie

I've been wanting to put a new blog post up for some time now...but I just can't think of anything profound to say. Nothing too exciting is going on right now~we're just waiting on God's provision for the move to Kenya. We know that while we wait, God is working in us. He is preparing us. He is refining our vision and correcting some misconceptions. He is teaching us to depend on Him alone~not just for financial provision, but for EVERYTHING. He is also encouraging us in some wonderful ways.

We Skyped with our new friends, the Sweazy's, last night and we are so excited about what God is doing in their lives. He is preparing them and providing for them to go to Kenya as well. It's such a blessing to be on this journey with them. Check out their blog in my sidebar~The 28:19 Call. Such a beautiful family and we share a similar burden for the fatherless.

While we wait, we are going to concentrate on learning Swahili using the Pimsleur method. I'm thankful to have settled on something structured that we can focus on and make some progress!

Some of our loved ones are concerned about us going to Kenya in light of recent happenings there. The Westgate Mall incident isn't a deal breaker for us. God has called us to GO, and we will trust and obey.

Safety does not depend on our conception of the absence of danger. Safety is found in God's presence, in the centre of His perfect will.

I just discovered a free Kindle book on Amazon.com that looks really promising! Relentless: Pursuing a Life That Matters. Check it out while it's free!

Sorry if this post seems disjointed, but that kind of reflects the way my brain is working lately. I don't even have a picture to share!

Free Kindle~Which None Can Shut: Remarkable True Stories of God's Miraculous Work in the Muslim World

watch on tyndale.com

This book is free on Amazon Kindle through August 6th. Grab it while you can! I'm reading it with keen interest since the majority of the Muslim population in Kenya are living on the coast, especially in Mombasa.

FREE KINDLE (no longer free, but I can loan it out!)~The Unlikely Missionary: From Pew-Warmer to Poverty-Fighter

I had this book on my Amazon wish list for a while~so I was thrilled to see that it was on the list of free Kindle. I don't know how long it will be there, so wanted to share!

Edited to add: for anyone who missed this title while it was free, I am able to loan it out for 2 weeks. Just reply to this blog post with your e-mail address if interested!

"Jesus called us to change the world... starting with 'the least of these.'

Dan King, popular blogger and founder of BibleDude.net, wrestled for several years with this idea of what it means to serve like Jesus did. That is, until he started researching the topic of poverty and what the Christian response to it looks like. One little writing project triggered a series of events, like dominoes, that eventually led him on an unlikely trip to Africa. It was a trip that would change things forever.

Follow Dan's journey not only on a poverty-fighting trip through Africa, but also on the journey of discovery as the mission trip helps him find purpose and meaning in his Christian walk."
