Work in progress

Chorus:

He's still working on me
To make me what I need to be
It took him just a week to make the moon and stars
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars
How loving and patient He must be
'Cause He's still workin' on me

Repeat Chorus

There really ought to be a sign upon my heart
Don't judge him yet, there's an unfinished part
But I'll be better just according to His plan
Fashioned by the Master's loving hands

Repeat Chorus

In the mirror of His word
Reflections that I see
Makes me wonder why He never gave up on me
But He loves me as I am and helps me when I pray
Remember He's the potter; I'm the clay

Do you know this song?!?...well right now it could be my life motto...

The happy foursome at a baby check!

It's fun for them to get a family photo taken, I print them a copy and I love seeing them all together.

Babies, What a Blessing!

This is a long time in coming... but here's an update on some new babies that have entered this crazy, amazing world. Enjoy!

She was born 'in caul' meaning her water didn't break, we opened it right after her head was out. That was a first for me, fun and exciting!

Random Photos

Here are some random photos that I took using my cell phone. Some are from a few months ago. Today I finally transferred them to the computer. Enjoy!

Here is a bird's-eye view of the Agdao Market. The aisles are quite narrow in places.

Wednesday Evenings

So it's time I tell you what I've been doing on Wednesday evenings. I've connected with a missionary couple also supported through the Second Tunic and I've been going to an outreach Bible study in Agdao, a poor section of the city. There are some other young leaders who volunteer as well. The kids are almost all teenage boys who live in Agdao and are also into sniffing glue. This is where I've been going since early October.

Interesting Experience

So yesterday I had a very interesting experience. Christina and I needed some supplies, so we headed to a local mall. Christina went into the department store looking for supplies for a project she was working on. I went searching for printer ink. First store- out of stock. Second store- out of stock. I walked around looking for other stores that might sell ink. Could not find our brand. An ink store did not have what I needed. So I kept walking, looking for other computer stores. It was at this point that I had my interesting experience.
