This blog is all about my journey living and working in Moshi, Tanzania. This process began before I moved to Moshi in July 2006 and continues as I have been living here six and a half years. I like to write blogs about the kids here at Treasures of Africa Children's Home and about life in Tanzania and the fun things about living in a different culture. The children have become a huge part of my life here. I have fallen in love with them and each day they bring something new and fun to life. God has truly blessed me.

God is Always Good

I have been living in Africa for almost three weeks. It is amazing how the peace of God has been with me in a powerful way. I am so thankful. I spend most of my days working at the orphanage building. We have not moved in yet because we are still waiting for the container to arrive with our beds but that does not keep us from getting the building ready. We have spent the last few weeks painting. I have always said that I don't like painting...More than any other chore painting is the one I dislike most. Yet here I am painting with such a peace in my heart...Like it is a joy. God is amazing. I am so thankful for the friends and family members that are praying...Keep praying...Please. :)

I am looking forward to moving into our new home. But even now living out of a suitcase there has been such grace to do it. I am surrounded by the goodness of the Lord.

Lydia,
I can't believe the container isn't there yet. I continue to pray for it's release. I am so glad to have this journal to read and be able to stay current with the haps there. We miss you a lot but I know you are where you are supposed to be. Love

Hi Lydia,
Thinking of you and praying. So where do you and the team stay since you are not at the orphanage yet?

Love,
