Today was our last day in this incredible city... Its sad to say goodbye. We went to the Van Gogh museum today, and saw some awesome art.. maybe i'll be an artist ;) -ya know, Vincent did have any talent when he picked up art... Then we got some last minute things like the famous cookie, stroopwafles... so delicious. We came back here and had some debriefing time. We talked about our feelings alot... i'm gonna miss talking about our feelings every night. Tomorrow we are leaving for the aiport at dark:30... that will be interesting... you can always say a prayer for that. Earlier tonight we got to sit in a circle and encourage each other and build each other up before we left for good... It was humbling. I cant believe i'm leaving these girls... I feel like we've become a family in the last 10 days...
So here is to all you people who have constantly been praying over us and encouraging us and lifting us up. We have been on top of the world here, no evil has come near us, and we've had the time of our lives seeing what God has in store for this city. We would never have felt this good about our health and our safety if it hadn't been for you guys back home. I am so thankful for that ;)
The same God that built this city resides in it. He has a plan for it and for its people. He hasn't forgotten it, and never will. He is victorious, whether we help Him or not... it was time for me to stand up and be counted, thank you guys for being a part of this journey with me. It has been nothing short of phenomenal.
Be praying for safe flights tomorrow and business class ;) , cant wait to be back on U.S. soil :)
LOVELOVELOVE YOU :)

ReplyDeleteI have been praying for you for protection, open hearts of the people and fulfillment of your assignment. I know whatever fruits were seen were only a small part of what actually transpired in the heavenlies. I know God is smiling on your fearless obedience and this is only one leg of the many incredible journeys you will take with Him!! Praying for safe return. I can't wait for more in-depth debriefings! :-) Love you and SO proud of you.

So all I do is eat stroopwaffels and nutella without you guys. COME BACK MUFFINS!!!
ReplyDeleteKirby,
ReplyDeleteI was on vacation while I was reading your blog and tried to comment but couldn't from my phone. I wanted to let you know that I was praying for you. I also wanted to let you know that as a mommy of 2 girls, I would be so proud to have my daughters do what you did. God placed it on my heart to begin to pray for them to have a heart for missions and to be willing to respond when He calls. I'll look you up in about 12 years and let you know how God answers this prayer! :)
Thank you for having a heart for others...I can't wait to see on the other side of heaven (and whatever God chooses to show us on this side) how many lives were changed on this trip through you all reaching out to others and the prayers that were lifted up to our Heavenly Father!
