A New Day

I am glad to see a sunny morning outside my window. After all of these years of living in the tropics, I still find myself amazed at how a beautiful, sunny morning can turn into a dark, torrential rain storm within a few minutes. It is the rainy season, so it is nice to have the sunny mornings. A few weeks ago we did not see the sun for a week so I appreciate the sunshine this morning.

I was annoyed with myself the other day. You would think I would learn after fourteen rainy seasons. I had to take Lindsey to Tae Kwon Do. I parked at the top of Session Road at SM. Our walk to lessons would normally be a five minute downhill walk. I should have waited. Everyone else was waiting. Hundreds of people lined up under the eaves. Waiting. But oh no. Not me. We needed to get there. So off the two of us went passing the patient people. Rain, wind, inches of water running down the road. The end result was that we got to the gym 40 minutes early. Sad to say I sat for two hours soaked to my knees. I literally wrung out my socks (tacky I know) out the window of the gym. Cold and wet and early. To make things worse... fifteen minutes after we arrived...the rain stopped. When will I learn?

Welcome


Well here it is. After months of reading other people's blogs, I finally took a leap of faith to start my own. Of course, I am nervous and not sure I will stick with it. However, I will give it a try.

Since my husband and I are missionaries overseas, I thought it would be good to keep people posted on our lives. It is hard to know where to begin and what to start talking about. I am sure I will get the hang of it.

For now I just wanted to say hello and welcome. If your are reading this and I know you, please leave me a note in the comments section. Even if I don't know you and you have a pleasant, wholesome commment I would love to hear from you.

It is my desire to share my life in a genuine, transparent way that honors God.
Come along and join me on my journey as I attempt to be a "a fruitful vine" to my husband, my two young olive trees, and to those God puts along my path as I serve Him.

In Him,
Lenae
