Serving Him in Indonesia

So I decided after speaking at a government school here last Friday to a group of Junior High Students I would not be a good famous person.  God definitely knows what we can handle when he directs us in our life.  After I spoke the kids all surrounded me to shake my hand and say thank you.  Well one student asked me to sign her notebook, little did I know what this was going to start.  Before I knew it I was completely surrounded by kids feeling slightly clastrophobic.  I pushed my way through the kids pretty quickly to get out of that. Once I got out of the mob of kids I laughed.  Sometimes I just have to laugh at what God is doing in my life … it’s uinbelieveable. 

 Here’s a couple pictures with the kids.

I have to testify about how good God really is.  He meets us right where we are and gives us exactly what we need even before we know we need it.  A couple weekends ago a family I barely know took Keren and I on a trip to Solo Indonesia, about 100 km from Semarang.  We were surprised to find that a good friend of mine and her husband were going too so we would have someone who was fluent in English with us. 

We arrived at Novotel, a very nice hotel, to find that they had given us a vip room just to bless us.  Keren and I had fun acting like we’ve never been in a hotel before and being American.  Through out the weekend God used these people I barely know to minister his love to me and show me how much all Christians really are a FAMILY.  When we live with the Holy Spirit guiding and directing our lives we are all connected as family, no matter how little you know each other. 

Here are some fun pictures from our trip.  We drove about 40 km to the top of a mountian and got to see an amazing sunset and eat some yummy Indonesian food.
