For the last several months, I have called a hiatus to life in general while I took some time to figure out what just happened. Have you ever had things happen so fast, you're left wondering "What the what?" That's us lately. Things have slowed down enough for us to start to catch back up.
The doctors are still not sure what's going on with my body entirely. For a little while, I stopped trying to get more answers from medicine since it seemed to get me nowhere. I am back on track and have seen another doctor who is hopeful to find an answer. Next week, I'll be getting an ultrasound done to look for fibroid tumors. I am seriously hoping that is NOT the answer I get, but have made peace with the fact that God is in control and He cares for me.
I have a blog that is more for personal musings where I recently gave a post updating some more information about our journey and some of the things we've faced. If you'd like to read it, I welcome that. Thank you for being you! We love you dearly. The address for that post is: http://655kilmerst.blogspot.com/2012/04/getting-right-down-to-where-ive-been.html
Again it is just a personal blog and I am writing to help process some of what's gone on.
We are not currently making any plans for a long-term return to Guinea-Bissau, but we are staying connected to the project there and plan on short-term trips in the future. We hope to bring a building team at some point to see work done on the orphanage (maybe some of you will be on that building team!). The children there will always be close to our hearts. In the retrospect we've got, we are beginning to see that the greatest difference that can be made for this project is in the area of funding. We can likely do that BEST from here. It's not how we planned it all, but God is great and His plans are better and more complete than ours ever will be.
Jason is still looking for a job. He's had several interviews, and is currently waiting to hear back about two different jobs for which he is in the final phase of consideration. We're praying that he'll get a job soon and this waiting will end. Again, that's in God's hands as well. Once Jason has a job, we'll turn our attention back toward the project in Bissau a bit more.
We appreciate each of you so much and love you tons. Thank you for blessing us with your care and love and generosity towards a small country we love with all our hearts. Guinea-Bissau is a place filled with hope. Not because the outlook is lovely or because the place is set up for success, but because God dwells there! He has never left and His people are moving by His will there in a mighty way. Guinea-Bissau will be filled with hope as long as God's people turn to Him and seek Him. We are blessed beyond measure to be able to witness the church there stepping up to the aid of orphans to build the second orphanage in the country.
