Back in Gautang, South Africa, for over a month now.

Hello Friends,

I acknowledge I haven't written in a while. Not that anyone has asked. (Or wondered, most likely.)
We did get our visa's, and we we did get back. We are in the Gautang province, where our office is, and we are waiting on the Lord for a lot of things. Wisdom, strength, recruits. Hope for all of those things.

This has been a draining, emotional, and physically painful time. I thank the Lord for the way that his network is so much more complete than any man made thing. People have told me that they have thought of us especially hard, and have prayed, and that has meant the world to my husband and I. To be remembered, and told of prayers without even asking, it shows us in such a tangible way that we are in the palm of His hand, and He is good.

Other social media's feel more exposed, and frivolous. A place to share cat pictures and jokes and to see fierce political debates become tirades where no one is listening but everyone is critical. I feel fairly safe and invisible here. Also, pretty cool, because thanks to a 12 dollar donation from a lovely friend, this site is now a  dot net, and now I'm all legit as a website owner! Not that I have the time to acquire the skills to make it all pretty. (And I do not understand ads to try to possibly make a little money from it, so I have given up on that idea!)

What I mean to say is that I'm here, on this nifty dot net website, because any friends that would take the time to come here are here because they want to be. And if you have prayed for us, without knowing why, I thank you for being obedient and a true brother or sister in Christ.

God is good, and we have every reason to trust Him and what He is doing.

Don't forget that.

Katie
