Greetings from Kijabe,
I apologize for our lack of correspondence. I realized the other day that it’s been since Christmas since we've written and here we are chasing Valentines Day!!
Not to make excuses, but this term, as expected, has been an extremely busy one. In addition to our regular responsibilities, (the classroom and library) there have been many other things demanding our time.
Probably the most prominent of those is the junior/senior banquet. This is an event that takes place the middle of February, but the planning began back in September. Trying to organize 80 teenagers, in two hour blocks each week, to plan a dinner theater that includes everything from building the set, making the costumes, rehearsing the play, making the food, making table cloths and napkins, performing music, and keeping all the details together has been giving us something on the "to do" list nearly everyday. We are coming down to the end here in the next few weeks and it will get busier before it lets up in April. These two jobs by themselves would be sufficient for a goods nights sleep, but there are the other aspects of RVA that keep going as well. Brian and I continue to enjoy going to the children's home each week, we enjoyed a day working with our students in community service projects around the Kijabe area, I have been helping to officiate basketball, and there are always the normal things of "life" that keep us going in different directions.
But even with the craziness of the RVA schedule we enjoy the ministry that God has called us to and we are able to see beyond the frustrations and the schedules to see that God is at work in the lives of these kids. As demanding as the schedule is for us as adults, the kids (especially the juniors) are also struggling with getting balance in their academic, athletic, social, and spiritual lives. It’s getting to that part of the term where people, staff and students alike, are tired, and the light at the end of the tunnel is very small.
So we carry on with our responsibilities and pray that God will show us the attitude of Christ Jesus that we should have in all of our circumstances. We thank God for the days he gives us, the people we work with, and the beauty he surrounds us with. We pray that you too are able to seen the handiwork of God in your lives.
Blessings,
Alan and Sara
