The Washing Machine!!

Well the month of November is finished. I can't believe how quickly this year has gone. Thank you all so much for your support for our washing machine! We asked and you all responded so quickly to fill the need. We are so thankful. We had an unexpected trip to Kampala and the funds were there so we decided to get the washing machine while we had the extra space!! I am so happy to announce that we have done a number of loads of laundry! If feels funny, to be so grateful for such a mondane  thing as a washing machine, but we are and I believe that even this everyday thing can be used for the glory of God!

(I think she gets the dirtiest of all)

Well, I feel like I should add my thoughts to this celebratory post. I was hasitent, at best, when Christina brought up the idea of requesting funds for a washing machine. I did not feel the burden and pain of the task of washing the clothes like she did and, in my pride and vanity, I felt uncomfortable asking for a thing that feels like a convenience and a luxury. I was very quickly humbled by the response of our friends. We are truly blessed. Our faithful Father has so continually provided for our needs but, often, He also chooses to provide for our desires too. -Benj
