Home

Well, we are home now. U.S.A- home of dinner plates the size of platters fast food joints, drugstores. With a bank and gas station on every corner.

I am sure all four of us are struggling to process the things we experienced in Cambodia. My heart is full of prayers for the people we left- the two girls that want to be in the program, our new Cambodian friends, and Chris Alexander, as he is still there for two more weeks.

Home. This is such an elusive thing. It can be just as much a feeling as it is a place. Of course, our true homes are not here. We are called to be "other- worldly'. This is fairly easy when you have seen what God is doing in other places. The problem is when you "see" you have choices to make. So these are the things we are left to process... how will our lives be different here, in the land of freedom and opportunity? In many ways the struggles are greater here. So many temptations to spend your time and money on; so many distractions.

SO- I am sitting this morning with sketches and swatches trying to fathom how God can use this thing to save little girls. Fortunate for us, we serve a Mighty God and His name is Redeemer. He redeemed me, he longs to redeem those girls and he is always in the process of redeeming humanity, all of it. This is His very best work and He is an artist when He does it.

Your prayer is needed,

Nicole
