Moving Forward

Before I moved to Kenya many people told me "Michelle you are so brave, you are so strong." Well the truth is that I am not brave and I am not strong. In fact many times I feel like a small scared child. However the good news is that I have a father who is both brave and strong.

I'm finding myself in a place right now where I feel stuck. Since William and I were married in December we have faced one trial after another. Some have been small and merely frustrating. Others have been major and life changing. Through it all I can see God's hand. I know that he has protected us in so many ways. One of the biggest blessings (other than the obvious fact that we are both still alive!) is that I believe William and I have grown stronger as a couple due to the challenges.

However I personally feel very empty right now. I feel like we have hit one trial too many. I don't want to bog you down with our many issues. But I do want to ask for your prayers. Please pray that the Lord will meet us where we are at right now. That he will guide and direct us. That he will bring healing and that he will anoint us with his wisdom.

Please know that even a stranger has lifted you up in prayer. :)

I found you awhile back via Adele's blog, Simplicity. I don't even know Adele either.

Anyway, point is: you are being prayed for. I've walked through dark times too in the last few years. It's not easy, and even though at times it is hard to see how . . . God remains both always all-powerful and all-good.

in Christ alone,
