It's been awhile...

Apologies to all for my blogging silence over the last few months. This past year in Liberia proved to be not only terribly busy, but also surprisingly difficult. A lot has happened in the last four months-- weddings and funerals, moving (new orphanage building in Liberia and ORR's state-side office) and grand opening ceremonies galore. 

Instead of trying to catch up on everything now I'll just start over from here. I am currently back in Washington state, preparing to head back to Liberia next Thursday (September 30th). I will be returning into my new role as Country Director and this brings many challenges, however, I am facing this new program year with a great excitement. This will be my third year living in Liberia and it truly feels as if I am returning home. I am looking forward to seeing my Liberian friends and family and my precious kiddos too, of course! 

I will keep this post short, trying to get back into the habit of blogging, and honestly hope to be better at this in this new year. 

For now, I'll leave you with what has become both my theme verse and motivation this year--

"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10
