Last night we signed papers to sell the house. It is a solid offer, and we”ll know within a few days if the whole thing is going through. I know it will, I can feel it. This is it. In eight weeks we will have the family packed and we will be leaving the place…

Bonita Cherry - Kristy, it is an honor and a privilege to say that I know you and can be a part of your inspirational journey. I praise God for blessing me with a friend like you. You have such colour and depth and it feels as though I have known you much longer then I have. I am praying for you as you embark on this exciting adventure. You are a brave soldier in Gods army of brilliance and both you and Ben lead in the front lines. “You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever. Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty. In your majesty Kristy Carlson ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds.” (Ps 45:2-4). Awesome deeds and amazing wonders will result every where your feet tread. Bask in the wonder of Gods delight in you as you allow him to hold the torch in front of you as you follow in the dark. Trust…yes…trust…. we love you guys and our little Cherry is your favorite mascot and fan xxx

Bagelicious

me: Make your own bagels. you: Do what? me: MAKE YOUR OWN BAGELS! Really, it’s not that hard. I thought it was, but it’s not! Most of the things that we think are too difficult for us in this world really are not. The hard part is beginning, and then reminding yourself that you’ve “got…

Laura Knutson - We may have talked about this idea already when you guys were here in the states but I think a coffee shop with great Burundi coffee and Kristi’s great baking would be a great addition to Burundi ville…..You could name it MuddyRoads Cafe….miss you guys.

Danielle Carlson - Looks so yummy! I know I won’t go the effort to make them so my family will be stuck with toaster waffles, cereal, and french toast on Saturdays.

Eldon Carlson - It just looks so hard!? Glad God has grace!

Susan J Carlson - Can’t wait to try this recipe! Photos could be published in Better Homes and Gardens!!Making some of the things we enjoyed at your “delicious table” makes me feel a little closer to you. I know Lara will love this recipe-same problems, except (for a price) they can get most of the ingredients. We did bring cinnamin and chocolate chips in our suitcase :) . You are the best!!Those three boys are spoiled.

It’s coming…

I should add that I know the fear is coming, cue “dun-dunt dun-dunt dun-dunt” a-la Jaws. I can smell it, it’s not far off. When it does come, I really hope I can feel the fear and do it anyway (thanks Lara Casey), and not panic in the water while getting eaten alive. This morning…

ND - I love how honest you are! I experience fear also these past few months relaunching my business. But I have learned fear is the enemy’s way of trying to point out how insufficient we are,and get us to believe a bunch of little lies! Please just keep believing in Him! You don’t know what’s going to happen,all the details but we can believe that God has it all worked out!

Susan J Carlson - You are like those trekkers of long ago, traveling up from the Cape; or the people in the Conestoga wagons leaving the comforts of the East to go to the wild west; or like Abraham and Sarah, to a place they did not know, just trusting God. Thank you for sharing your heart.

bruce knutson - thank you Sweetheart for the poem, writings and awesome photos of MY KIDS !!!!!!
good idea to go to the beach – miss you all, Love – papa K
