I can't believe it has been so long. We have: started homeschooling Addalyn, said goodbye to good friends, traveled to the US for New Years and doctor visits, welcomed new people, had three family visits and a friend visit and two mission teams visit, watched church grow, taken on new roles, and welcomed back an old one. Why am I finally able to sit down at catch you up now? I have covid. So, since I am stuck in my room avoiding my family and trying my best to keep my germs to myself, I realized that it's the perfect chance to share with all of you what's been happen way down here in St Kitts!</p><p style="text-align: center;">And as much as I like to talk (and type), I think the best way to sum up <i><b>six</b></i> months is through pictures:</p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">November</h2><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiE3vkbgUTmjrYqwwug5_ss-4z9ZRbePE6SBAgbIGXd6YgCxnW5RsU6YhPbNYVV-uvsUTB0ianI2Ct1ZDLK9KExz2Lnnvfz-qvtVehq_hoZ2KDiy3UpyRIZBmNkmX44PI9xs5qpYIF1Ov5_y8BSQgtiua_XSZFLYPHDT7mXxL3FtaEzTrY1nyQ66Iep" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiE3vkbgUTmjrYqwwug5_ss-4z9ZRbePE6SBAgbIGXd6YgCxnW5RsU6YhPbNYVV-uvsUTB0ianI2Ct1ZDLK9KExz2Lnnvfz-qvtVehq_hoZ2KDiy3UpyRIZBmNkmX44PI9xs5qpYIF1Ov5_y8BSQgtiua_XSZFLYPHDT7mXxL3FtaEzTrY1nyQ66Iep" width="180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We started homeschooling Addalyn! We have always said that each family and even each child, has individual needs at individual times that make different forms of schooling best for them. After prayer and confirmation from God, we decided that home-education is the best route for our girl. In addition to the many other advantages of one-on-one instruction, we will also be able to register through a Christian school in Knoxville for high school, giving her the privilege of a US/TN high school diploma. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjJkBSZiKA5854jfXCNa0pAPDsf7764eRo2IzlIxHzN7QNKr--F3JWEOIpoM72XqBp1IDR9Q_qjSAPqWb1PrsImYRT7NXReU7r27BfdLJtQNsTMjr13bReA9GyCCPk6OCrWjgW0u-9ftM0Gp0Oeh1-JvhnJTKG9VISAB-aaPgMU8cLdVjWwoowEOGg1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1792" data-original-width="960" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjJkBSZiKA5854jfXCNa0pAPDsf7764eRo2IzlIxHzN7QNKr--F3JWEOIpoM72XqBp1IDR9Q_qjSAPqWb1PrsImYRT7NXReU7r27BfdLJtQNsTMjr13bReA9GyCCPk6OCrWjgW0u-9ftM0Gp0Oeh1-JvhnJTKG9VISAB-aaPgMU8cLdVjWwoowEOGg1" width="129" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On our first week, we took a field trip to Brimstone Hill Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site here in St Kitts! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiULiFIkqXfjm9YTRnZNDW87nRnyW9CdXZNpIL-a8ZHcIk6yC2sfcsZwPGTaYA2PUzWKBV_yoK2jtSs3z25FeHga9DHI9mHOZuQdHFUGjwgbj9C8SfFMuyJC5rerHwdp1RA1pdypEpimKZ4vwDmO2Z_34eKylsoFFmYNfknTJWz5qlNqKmOZ7IsThea" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2316" data-original-width="3088" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiULiFIkqXfjm9YTRnZNDW87nRnyW9CdXZNpIL-a8ZHcIk6yC2sfcsZwPGTaYA2PUzWKBV_yoK2jtSs3z25FeHga9DHI9mHOZuQdHFUGjwgbj9C8SfFMuyJC5rerHwdp1RA1pdypEpimKZ4vwDmO2Z_34eKylsoFFmYNfknTJWz5qlNqKmOZ7IsThea" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We got to see some wonderful friends who loved here when we first arrived on the island!

Dress a Girl not only donated the dresses, but packed them so nicely and sent them down in two suitcases that they donated as well!<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjO8REK_ZgwLvYx1mKGuOvnG1nRJ5KG_SZkAOIDkeOPFa_jB-UCL81xQWC2WfTS2-GAwTYZpycOAmdFpJiLz4dwk_xCtu6Kz843cHrlkL9pL8ScvGvGTDcR2_4jTHea40Si8wG0cTbSkHHZHB4n-7khjAI4extDp0lyhW3XEUuxdilgsnn6y6sHkQRS" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2429" data-original-width="3670" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjO8REK_ZgwLvYx1mKGuOvnG1nRJ5KG_SZkAOIDkeOPFa_jB-UCL81xQWC2WfTS2-GAwTYZpycOAmdFpJiLz4dwk_xCtu6Kz843cHrlkL9pL8ScvGvGTDcR2_4jTHea40Si8wG0cTbSkHHZHB4n-7khjAI4extDp0lyhW3XEUuxdilgsnn6y6sHkQRS" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">While our FP team was here, they bought us over 600 toiletries to bring into the prison to bless the residents there!

It's one of the few guarantees - change is inevitable. I will still venture to say that those of us with overseas/expat/missions type lives go through it more often. Or perhaps in just more obvious ways. Instead of shifting steps, we often take monstrous leaps from one thing to another. One country to another. From new hellos to more goodbyes. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="verse v5" data-usfm="PSA.37.5" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #121212; font-family: ArialMT, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Liberation Sans", FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 19.008px;"><span class="content" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="verse v5" data-usfm="PSA.37.5" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #121212; font-family: ArialMT, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Liberation Sans", FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 19.008px;"><span class="content" style="box-sizing: inherit;">After living here for six years, some of those transitions start to just feel like the normal patterns in life.

Both has such a wild year. Addalyn faced the toughest academic expectations yet. She had upwards of 2-3 hours of homework a day! Dean's class didn't have a specific teacher until January, He was out for almost 3 months with his kidney stone issues and traveling for health, but finished off strong with the wonderful Ms. McKenzie. At the end of the year, Dean had to say goodbye to his first friend from SKI, Henry. They met on the very first day of first grade and have done a lot of growing up together. We miss Henry, and his family. Goodbyes are probably the hardest transition we face. We finished off the year with a bon fire night for Addy's class and some of Dean's friends as well.</span></span></p><p style="clear: both; color: #121212; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;">2.

He was panting and crying and couldn't get comfortable. After consulting some amazing vet students, we rushed him to the emergency clinic to get checked out. He had bladder crystals, similar in many ways to kidney/bladder stones in people, and his bladder had become blocked. They did emergency surgery to unblock him, and we were able to take him home the next day. He ended up being rushed back for the same problem two days later! Thankfully, that time they were able to clear the rest of the crystals and Dandelion has been healthy and happy ever since. It was so sweet to see how much our vet student community loves Dandy, and us. They went above and beyond to make sure that we were all ok!</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #121212; font-family: ArialMT, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Liberation Sans, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 19.008px;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #121212; font-family: ArialMT, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Liberation Sans, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 19.008px;"> 5.

Meaghan, Betsy, and Whitney are the biggest group we have said goodbye to since before covid. They are one of the first groups to have spent most of their time in school here on the island, and to have been able to be involved at church for much of that time. Each one of these women brought so much love and laughter to our church, Life Group, and family.

We got to see almost all of my first and extended cousins, aunts, uncles, and even family I had never met in my life. We had so much fun getting to catch up with the Crenshaw clan. We spent the rest of our two weeks in Knoxville. We went to Childrens Hospital for Dean's kidney check up, I was gifted a new guitar so that I can continue preparing to lead worship at our church (another upcoming transition), we celebrated our sister's soon-to-be-born baby girl, and we got to visit the three churches that support us - Midway Baptist, Awaken Old City, and Faith Promise.

It's their 5th year at SKI Academy. We got back to work with sermons and children's church, which is now CCF Youth (the kids are all getting old!), Celebrate Recovery, and Life Group. They all ran while we were gone, thanks to our amazing co-workers, but we hit the ground running doing our part when we returned. We started driving one of Addalyn's classmates to school every day since her parents don't drive. Lastly, we were back to celebrate Independence Day in St Kitts with a concert at the kids' school. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">10.

Plus, our kids aren't even out of school yet (but I am counting down the minutes until Friday at 12pm!). However, just like most of you, we have been experience high heat and very "summery" weather. Normally I would complain, just a little, about the high temperatures, but the US heat wave sounds crazy! So I will hold off, at least until you all start posting about fall and boots and lattes, and I'm still sitting down here drenched in sweat and praying the electricity doesn't go out so the air conditioner and fans keep blowing.

It reminds me that His is the God of St. Kitts, India, Europe, Canada, the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, the US, and every single other country and city and people. <br /></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhz15nLNpb7sGnw4nTRkRHszrgHI47Rxy5-vyWloWrx4OhjOKSyqd2B9vGApzAWQCyVcS2YQYoCKUOemj1FofZ-vliBtPTcV9XkLAVE8hdvHE8PzkzI01uucFn4geeiHfOg5gBHB7Rm4T5Xpwfi43jMUZrk030oxW1sVD0VKaENF9DWLq_QhIM7aouN" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhz15nLNpb7sGnw4nTRkRHszrgHI47Rxy5-vyWloWrx4OhjOKSyqd2B9vGApzAWQCyVcS2YQYoCKUOemj1FofZ-vliBtPTcV9XkLAVE8hdvHE8PzkzI01uucFn4geeiHfOg5gBHB7Rm4T5Xpwfi43jMUZrk030oxW1sVD0VKaENF9DWLq_QhIM7aouN" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b style="font-size: large;"> </b> CCF has a longstanding tradition of a Good Friday worship service at the beach.

It's the nature of living here, people come and they go. We had to say goodbye to three different, but truly amazing, women. These vet students all headed back to the US to pursue their next steps in their careers. These women not only attended CCF, but they each served in the church, loved on people around them, and were such a blessing to be around and to know.

Power outages, referred to in St. Kitts are "the current gone", are fairly common. However, the centre we meet in rarely experiences them because it's close to downtown. We made the most of it and ate our soup and enjoyed longer fellowship outside.

In fact, our church birthed out of a club call Christian Veterinary Fellowship (CVF). Our close ties with this club has meant that a lot of our church attenders are students; young men and women far away from home, doing an intense academic program, and often right at the stage of life where they are wresting with what they truly believe. It's an incredible group to get to serve! CVF's parent organization, Christian Veterinary Mission (CVM), does tons of amazing things to serve vet students and professionals, including these three day conferences call Real Life Real Impact.</span><span><br /></span></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span> CVM's team consisted of four vets who pay their own way to come, and one CVM staff member who is also a pastor. The team puts on a professional development weekend, laced with their own stories of their walks with God and the role that plays in their practices and lives. CVM's Pastor Curtiss, as well as Aaron, also shared messaged about grace at the conference. RLRI not only blesses the CVF club, but they walk all over campus inviting other students, they pay for all the food and materials, and they provide support for these young men and women as they start out in their new careers.</span></span></p><p style="clear: both;

We were able to start building friendships with the volunteers from the other church, and Shackila made about 20 kids super happy by teaching them how to paint an adorable smiling cactus!<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0xFrZHO28W4sYRLS7zJbariywUa5FVZv3VUQ6IsvbAI_wqX4E7HvZuewSPu67pgkK30RWubJj00idEpK_vLoI6b6BaXOfOijpgeynacTf5aFShFr0zXEkdBLWfqMxoqC4D8c2ehjV8Rd_5FYgqUMXxHDOUkx02kzvRVoKEPsikYDfCYBQRNHj66w3" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0xFrZHO28W4sYRLS7zJbariywUa5FVZv3VUQ6IsvbAI_wqX4E7HvZuewSPu67pgkK30RWubJj00idEpK_vLoI6b6BaXOfOijpgeynacTf5aFShFr0zXEkdBLWfqMxoqC4D8c2ehjV8Rd_5FYgqUMXxHDOUkx02kzvRVoKEPsikYDfCYBQRNHj66w3" width="180" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEibfw90qAY1ehMFnzQ-p7bWfMeVTCqGcyN-Hy86OGlDmHcnNG7NiMP0nyLfgAxljGVWg-b0c0iFTNXsi3C5EMwg7y-6ST44B1lny0PSY1ddUIVtPUC2HLiR_CGSVRYHL000_-KfAJxeUk5veunAqlaqorS_XKt9OMvRZqJTOriK9EcjttlKSkYCJIQL" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEibfw90qAY1ehMFnzQ-p7bWfMeVTCqGcyN-Hy86OGlDmHcnNG7NiMP0nyLfgAxljGVWg-b0c0iFTNXsi3C5EMwg7y-6ST44B1lny0PSY1ddUIVtPUC2HLiR_CGSVRYHL000_-KfAJxeUk5veunAqlaqorS_XKt9OMvRZqJTOriK9EcjttlKSkYCJIQL" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEifbu-weUP5OmG-kLzY8Ir1m5IMI7Vtx7WJmU01LWabIPNbCcehqV3FUhTeM91n121TqIY-uYmUam-4ZQ5WYONWXCgJDnOb5N0sSKG9UU5B7iLxz0nJmqxm5UzxYlqWi8dEGXIt5H7a603Pgy6P9AzFNT74b9ZCVCq1cc7SZhzfhOO9ZVbhZk6Ys0zX" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEifbu-weUP5OmG-kLzY8Ir1m5IMI7Vtx7WJmU01LWabIPNbCcehqV3FUhTeM91n121TqIY-uYmUam-4ZQ5WYONWXCgJDnOb5N0sSKG9UU5B7iLxz0nJmqxm5UzxYlqWi8dEGXIt5H7a603Pgy6P9AzFNT74b9ZCVCq1cc7SZhzfhOO9ZVbhZk6Ys0zX" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhswBMWExjs32rHFAAwUsTqGSyhx07jtzlIG2l6j0gmB_BotX1LWVtl0Cj17Y0yYe0nPdKKzkpvzq8Um1ztjDlFLb7daxVdKNiwU-Ix76BeOc22UN6UJS60KmketQUTz6Vu8BJf4EQxyFm2VlhLDYvNtMpWQm75NX-q_fKfn3LHk7SFBwCEOmX4uqM1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhswBMWExjs32rHFAAwUsTqGSyhx07jtzlIG2l6j0gmB_BotX1LWVtl0Cj17Y0yYe0nPdKKzkpvzq8Um1ztjDlFLb7daxVdKNiwU-Ix76BeOc22UN6UJS60KmketQUTz6Vu8BJf4EQxyFm2VlhLDYvNtMpWQm75NX-q_fKfn3LHk7SFBwCEOmX4uqM1" width="180" /></a></div><br /><span> Yesterday we got to celebrate Father's Day!

It feels like we were just leaving for Tennessee to take Dean to see a specialist, and I *blinked* and now it's almost April! There has been a lot of momentum in this new year of 2022. It feels like everything is growing and happening, which also makes the time rush by. We have gained new church attenders and CR attenders. We welcomed back our first post-pandemic mission team! Also, our family had fun celebrating birthdays, school successes, and getting to see our extended family at Christmas for the first time since 2015!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Most of you follow us on social media (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/katelyn.comer.5/" target="_blank">facebook</a>,<a href="https://www.instagram.com/comermissionjourney/"> instagram</a>), but in case you missed it - Dean's kidney was not lacerated! Instead, the opposite kidney had a big 7mm kidney stone! The doctors at ETCH took incredible care of us. It took two surgeries to successfully remove the stone, but they got it out and Dean healed up really well and quick. We are so grateful that God was gracious enough to send us people to advise us to go back to the US when we prayed for wisdom. We were told that there was only a 30% chance of a stone this size passing on its own. In addition, too much longer and the stone blocking the kidney from emptying could have caused permanent kidney damage. God's timing was perfect and we are praising Him for it over and over. Dean will need to see a nephrologist once a year for the foreseeable future, but drinking a lot more water and limiting his sodium intake should help prevent new stones from forming.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJlyS-cm_qaEWYyCttWWhW_lxRo5rHkVeAmvkTqnEVVhVXQKOsq1iCIP8K2nTafV9dtabGIGHu20tGAXCN2Z9i-5tr1IESJR_QlvLSb0nyHCJv__ewqtwQn32x-_T4gP3pWc2ggCuCbZ2V2e3chbeOxGi5wTYgSRFmiNTlJj5SYTje0EDyqZQkHeR8/s4032/IMG_1145.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJlyS-cm_qaEWYyCttWWhW_lxRo5rHkVeAmvkTqnEVVhVXQKOsq1iCIP8K2nTafV9dtabGIGHu20tGAXCN2Z9i-5tr1IESJR_QlvLSb0nyHCJv__ewqtwQn32x-_T4gP3pWc2ggCuCbZ2V2e3chbeOxGi5wTYgSRFmiNTlJj5SYTje0EDyqZQkHeR8/s320/IMG_1145.jpeg" width="240" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Dean got to ride in a wheelchair throughout the various airports!

They were able to help us run a CR info meeting in Nevis, share as a panel at CR St Kitts, create a clothing closet so we can serve our community, paint a wall in the CCF Kids room, and clean out and install shelves in our church storage closet! They brought down and purchased gifts for the residents and the officers at the prison, which opened up the doors for us to all come in and spend some time with the men and women! The group led us in a time of prayer with our church at a bonfire, and taught an awesome message about faith at church on Sunday morning. They also enjoyed our beautiful island, shared openly about CR and church everywhere they went, and loved on us all week long. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A big goal for us has been to train up local leaders for Celebrate Recovery and Caribbean Christian Fellowship. Having local people in leadership provides incredible insight and wisdom into a culture that is not our own. It also matters in our international church to have local people, and people of different ethnicities, represented from the stage and in all areas of the ministry. We LOVE our students, but they are only one demographic on the island. We recently had two different people express to us that they thought our church was only for Americans. One even asked permission before she came! We know we have to do better so that we can be a place where all people can come and feel welcome, loved, and learn about the hope that is found through a personal relationship with God!</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> You have seen and heard us talk about this amazing couple, Yamarlor and Shackila Dorsett, before.

For that reason, the Dorsetts will have to be paid by support that is raised just like Aaron and I are. We have already had a generous donation for part of the needed resources, and we are looking to raise an additional $1,000 a month to be able to officially hire this couple on. That’s just 10-20 people who can give $50-100 a month. If God is prompting you to help us accomplish this goal, you can donate here:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://funraise.org/give/Caribbean-Christian-Fellowship-Inc./16274ecb-2cd0-4bed-bc93-a1f209b3239b" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Donate</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Through this link, you can set up a one time or monthly reoccurring donations!

Living on an island has many perks, but access to specialized healthcare is not one of them.

We celebrate it on American Thanksgiving as a way to help students and expats far from home feel some love and connection. But we also use it as a chance to focus our hearts on the MANY things God has done in the last year that we can be thankful for, and to celebrate the anniversary of the church! We were shocked to have almost 60 people at the dinner!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So yes, this month has been stressful.

Please pray for healing, and for wisdom, and for His peace.</div><div><br /></div><br /> <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSXHf4xdircZLwWUpgGgDJoywUvlD85DbfiGiBUtlNhnpcZvq78RcKhxsJYZeqpTxruuPjsW2n5V9Ii9ZDyeM5I95pyriEyY1yAQUf4jl8Mxjn5Ym54AsWNKJkiqLjqU_AKYwFTM0Zf14/s4032/1EC44138-B01F-4B3A-8676-1B2DE037369E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSXHf4xdircZLwWUpgGgDJoywUvlD85DbfiGiBUtlNhnpcZvq78RcKhxsJYZeqpTxruuPjsW2n5V9Ii9ZDyeM5I95pyriEyY1yAQUf4jl8Mxjn5Ym54AsWNKJkiqLjqU_AKYwFTM0Zf14/s320/1EC44138-B01F-4B3A-8676-1B2DE037369E.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Katelyn Comerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07471291781893576983noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243788042444438293.post-89459628626283338132021-11-01T11:47:00.006-04:002021-11-01T17:54:57.171-04:00The Hard and the Beautiful<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUUhor8MqyK28SFZitP6K5p0PTvuX8JSuByFQN6i4IMGwv3Is5pVBLhkoOre25xwL7w-og5mgEfjEasjzFrRZU2T-IlUHBbdFsr2GqHXIMueBHEZ5_Fja-KscFZBz-iYXIwChep9jYta0/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUUhor8MqyK28SFZitP6K5p0PTvuX8JSuByFQN6i4IMGwv3Is5pVBLhkoOre25xwL7w-og5mgEfjEasjzFrRZU2T-IlUHBbdFsr2GqHXIMueBHEZ5_Fja-KscFZBz-iYXIwChep9jYta0/" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> That is one of my very favorite views in St Kitts. It's not an easy hike, but it's a very short one. The reward is delicious breezes, fragrant flowers, and a landscape of hills, a volcano, and both the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. As much as I always want to get to the top, certain particularly steep sections of the climb sometimes make me question my resolve. It's usually a matter of quieting down (if you know me, you know that is not in my nature), putting one foot in front of the other, and focusing on moving forward in that moment.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> I find that ministry often feels like hiking. We know the goal, we know the worth and value of the work, but it can often require a whole bunch of obedient steps for a long time in the same direction. Steps that may or may not give you a glimpse of what's to come. Steps that feel like moving up a hill in the rainforest; hot, sweating, out of breath, tired, and thirsty. But that's exactly where God so typically shows up! He picks us up, refreshes us, and reminds us of why we are on this path in the first place.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Psalm 23:3</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="q2" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #121212; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em; text-align: center; text-indent: -1em;"><span class="verse v3" data-usfm="PSA.23.3" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: background-color 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.42, 1, 0.16, 0.93) 0s;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>"he refreshes my soul.</i></span></span></div><div class="q1" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #121212; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em; text-align: center; text-indent: -2em;"><span class="verse v3" data-usfm="PSA.23.3" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: background-color 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.42, 1, 0.16, 0.93) 0s;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>He guides me along the right paths</i></span></span></div><div class="q2" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #121212; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em; text-align: center; text-indent: -1em;"><span class="verse v3" data-usfm="PSA.23.3" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: background-color 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.42, 1, 0.16, 0.93) 0s;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>for his name’s sake."</i></span></span></div><div class="q2" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #121212; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em; text-align: center; text-indent: -1em;"><span class="verse v3" data-usfm="PSA.23.3" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: background-color 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.42, 1, 0.16, 0.93) 0s;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div><div class="q2" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #121212; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em; text-align: center; text-indent: -1em;"><span class="verse v3" data-usfm="PSA.23.3" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: background-color 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.42, 1, 0.16, 0.93) 0s;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Jeremiah 31:25</span></span></div><div class="q2" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #121212; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em; text-align: center; text-indent: -1em;"><span class="verse v3" data-usfm="PSA.23.3" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: background-color 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.42, 1, 0.16, 0.93) 0s;"><span style="text-indent: 18px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>"I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.”</i></span></span></span></div><div class="q2" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #121212; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em; text-align: center; text-indent: -1em;"><span class="verse v3" data-usfm="PSA.23.3" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: background-color 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.42, 1, 0.16, 0.93) 0s;"><span style="text-indent: 18px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i><br /></i></span></span></span></div><div class="q2" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #121212; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em; text-align: center; text-indent: -1em;"><span class="verse v3" data-usfm="PSA.23.3" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: background-color 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.42, 1, 0.16, 0.93) 0s;"><span style="text-indent: 18px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>Jude 1:24-25</i></span></span></span></div><div class="q2" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #121212; line-height: 2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em; text-align: center; text-indent: -1em;"><span class="verse v3" data-usfm="PSA.23.3" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: background-color 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.42, 1, 0.16, 0.93) 0s;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i><span class="verse v24" data-usfm="JUD.1.24" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-indent: 18px; transition: background-color 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.42, 1, 0.16, 0.93) 0s;"><span class="content" style="box-sizing: inherit;">"To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— </span></span><span class="verse v25" data-usfm="JUD.1.25" style="box-sizing: inherit; text-indent: 18px; transition: background-color 0.75s cubic-bezier(0.42, 1, 0.16, 0.93) 0s;"><span class="content" style="box-sizing: inherit;">to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!

Our kids were very glad to go back to school and not be online any longer. It was only a week and a half, so not too bad compared to the huge chunks last school year and the one before. It's crazy to think that our kids have had only one "normal" school year at SKI, but this is their third year being effected by covid and regulations. We are leaning into the Lord for grace in dealing with the long term stress. So grateful for a good school, helpful teachers, and an incredible God who walks beside us through everything!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGo_rYMBuCUYxCpni1HN6Y1DFHf0V9ZoN9j-EFnHyBmt4PWptjZaLnQ8q6L58jmAkqCO-4rJUzyFogCA4CqpJzg1eIggq_WBn3fg7bgwCUNkoZp7tep-Dh09eI1X_JOdqJVrcv7qLE410/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGo_rYMBuCUYxCpni1HN6Y1DFHf0V9ZoN9j-EFnHyBmt4PWptjZaLnQ8q6L58jmAkqCO-4rJUzyFogCA4CqpJzg1eIggq_WBn3fg7bgwCUNkoZp7tep-Dh09eI1X_JOdqJVrcv7qLE410/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXKYJudnPcBTm5E9vvhQWsZv3nKKxc8TF3gCfC51_IA4KDWtqWonrynbnZSumepmwP9oOha0T0uHfD8ENylPobZ0kE9HjrR5DFQBp8AgGW73vlSKI0gndib9VYpYDWosPdwInqGf9cT4A/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXKYJudnPcBTm5E9vvhQWsZv3nKKxc8TF3gCfC51_IA4KDWtqWonrynbnZSumepmwP9oOha0T0uHfD8ENylPobZ0kE9HjrR5DFQBp8AgGW73vlSKI0gndib9VYpYDWosPdwInqGf9cT4A/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLgCgfoOPPvHoJm67OLH7M7fX_QqKeTV-WPTTdzljNHEG_7QUplNI4PIE76aPTjQB1yTaxc7hFGFMbHueI_ckw9QyR3qd1SZ5KgcfGB01b6QsWsEfqm0jGZAOIzYY4232J_ckn8XRpRvM/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLgCgfoOPPvHoJm67OLH7M7fX_QqKeTV-WPTTdzljNHEG_7QUplNI4PIE76aPTjQB1yTaxc7hFGFMbHueI_ckw9QyR3qd1SZ5KgcfGB01b6QsWsEfqm0jGZAOIzYY4232J_ckn8XRpRvM/" width="180" /></a></div><br />Our church had a games night!

It's often called the "Sofa Stone" hike because of the interestingly shaped boulder at the top. However, my favorite is the big, flat stone that gets some sun, some shade, a nice breeze, and has a perfect view! Of course the kids were the first ones to the top, but I was proud of everyone for sticking with it, even through the more intense bits.

Aaron is in the home stretch of teaching through Genesis. He does an amazing job, but I have to say I think the kids have the most fun upstairs with our amazing volunteers, silly games, and funny videos.

It represents a big post-covid milestone for our church, Caribbean Christian Fellowship. We had live music! One of many changes that the pandemic brought was that the few people who felt comfortable leading worship at our church had moved away or were staying home indefinitely. Almost exactly one year since we first went online and changed to video worship, we had a volunteer step up. Chris Chu, a vet student from CA, who is very talented with guitar and singing. He has such a heart to serve and we are very blessed that God brought him here and called him to use his gifts in this way.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfd0HqwV1dnVHL3S8Vl_aN200p0Tc-JmskRrWdD8akSQgI9uIdbDVfGLxh2Ge8l96ktwMkoEgcBIIRqR1acwPWpyofWo4bg4BxKdjmcXBngvsLVGYJokDjXc9-ABERw59sBo3ngZkE9Wo/s2048/IMG_3973.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfd0HqwV1dnVHL3S8Vl_aN200p0Tc-JmskRrWdD8akSQgI9uIdbDVfGLxh2Ge8l96ktwMkoEgcBIIRqR1acwPWpyofWo4bg4BxKdjmcXBngvsLVGYJokDjXc9-ABERw59sBo3ngZkE9Wo/s320/IMG_3973.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNWjb82F-_iktpaKdRQPlkuyv2N6VaJs_70XfVv-_Mu9rjvMmndkWSyH9LVbD8iQvmk-EIoZIhvaKiuL8dDCJV-lFnFZbMEEy25jNd8dHO8ilMtss8S8Qlh15PvVRQ21gwwixRxPrLKuY/s2048/IMG_2707.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNWjb82F-_iktpaKdRQPlkuyv2N6VaJs_70XfVv-_Mu9rjvMmndkWSyH9LVbD8iQvmk-EIoZIhvaKiuL8dDCJV-lFnFZbMEEy25jNd8dHO8ilMtss8S8Qlh15PvVRQ21gwwixRxPrLKuY/s320/IMG_2707.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>For the last 5 or 6 years, Children's Church has been held in the office above our church. Child Evangelism Fellowship graciously allowed us to use their space. While we were grateful, we were also a bit cramped. I spent many Sundays reminding little fingers not to touch the office equipment and ministry supplies. At the end of February, CEF agreed to co-renting the space with us and allowing us to turn the main space into out CCF Kids hang out and classroom! </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8n7WSFJQbVWxSe-4sBbnafJgqksS3YJulvg1lscjfKAiTHT5C8XZWpmtUZQj-IQV17EJvS8Mrl1q8yW7anqG3Uhu_6nWWMVE4H_6RUC85jc_7IyVNK_qRGeDjnVqlFYU7gfwdsn_dA38/s2048/AFF7BEEB-4474-457F-8F9A-DB22A6E5AD9A.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1178" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8n7WSFJQbVWxSe-4sBbnafJgqksS3YJulvg1lscjfKAiTHT5C8XZWpmtUZQj-IQV17EJvS8Mrl1q8yW7anqG3Uhu_6nWWMVE4H_6RUC85jc_7IyVNK_qRGeDjnVqlFYU7gfwdsn_dA38/s320/AFF7BEEB-4474-457F-8F9A-DB22A6E5AD9A.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We have couch and chair space for everyone, a TV for lessons, and a place that we can relax in while the kids learn and grow.

Covid sent many of them home, or delayed their move to St Kitts as new semesters started. 2021 has seen most of the students return! A good chunk of CCF student attenders graduated in the midst of covid and we didn't get to say proper goodbyes, but we know we will see them someday!

I don't have to explain that to any of you. You can relate to many of the exact same things we have gone through: missing family, canceled plans, indefinitely delayed trips, unknown future, worry, stress, and still trying to maintain a stable life for our family. Throw the normal end-of-the-year rush on top of that, and the title of this post probably makes a lot of sense to you. Turtles can survive a fair amount of time under water. God made them that way, and He sustains us through these "underwater" seasons as well. Much of the last year felt a bit like drowning. Jesus has been there the whole time reminding us who holds us when the waves are crashing in. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A big difference in our experience of the last few months from yours is that we live on an island that has stayed relatively covid-free. We have the occasional imported case with new arrivals, but they are quarantined and St Kitts remains safe. That means that we can do things like: gather for holidays, head to the beach with friends, game nights, and church (even though masks and some distance are required). We have not been able to update you since September because our days have been full of ministry, family, and life! Now that the New Year has begun, we knew we better let you know all that has been going on around here as we "come up for air" and remember these last few months.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">CCM</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Ukh1wWXugWzgKwnok8YnTl-IAKuFVl4edSu1kGiyRmahY-XS_bufutLOpCFLJzZur5hKHh9_dEiSxEhDu6f20eoBWFbjd2I1anaQkvU4s9rHf9-fKi-zz4a7GnSURi5JYGgI9xg31zU/s2048/IMG_2059.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Ukh1wWXugWzgKwnok8YnTl-IAKuFVl4edSu1kGiyRmahY-XS_bufutLOpCFLJzZur5hKHh9_dEiSxEhDu6f20eoBWFbjd2I1anaQkvU4s9rHf9-fKi-zz4a7GnSURi5JYGgI9xg31zU/s320/IMG_2059.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMo9fLcEVnWsIRBynQ24gCBBoom5qOQkLOrz-sr57kNChHd78CeunHabMqQ7J35UO_ruOZhll-ULw20oyLq1FTF14kVAUoytzxXlEK46pDFD9_A-V1U1uIBafrPacmL-Q9PcE5AlctNlA/s1600/d8806ebd-d8d7-4933-984f-b9264513d5b5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMo9fLcEVnWsIRBynQ24gCBBoom5qOQkLOrz-sr57kNChHd78CeunHabMqQ7J35UO_ruOZhll-ULw20oyLq1FTF14kVAUoytzxXlEK46pDFD9_A-V1U1uIBafrPacmL-Q9PcE5AlctNlA/s320/d8806ebd-d8d7-4933-984f-b9264513d5b5.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As many of you know, Caribbean Christian Fellowship has partnered with Christian Community Mission to help support their food and clothing drives.

As the church body has shifted to have less Americans, we weren't sure if it was still the right directions. What we discovered is that our church family from all over the world really enjoyed the Thanksgiving tradition. This year we endeavored to highlight and celebrate the many different cultures represented. The beautiful thing about giving thanks to God is that it has nothing to do with nationality, but everything to do with remembering what He has done for us. So our Kittitian-American-Canadian-Finnish-British-Surinamese-Russian-Anguillian-Puerto Rican Thanksgiving was just that - a sweet meal with amazing friends while thanking God for getting us to this point.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also toasted to CCF's 10 year anniversary and our family's 4 years island-iversary!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Christmas</h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM560_oObIeUT3M2pf1lQfajvolA7-02U8LW-JEgpLPhffY24SBupDNdWJMDTGJHPiqQzY-qfXy-Vq7zuFNwQJvZzBS3fCCxNponRq_yAN2JWva9mREIiZeENnPFP3FHJkWDRkBZNglwk/s2048/IMG_3397.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM560_oObIeUT3M2pf1lQfajvolA7-02U8LW-JEgpLPhffY24SBupDNdWJMDTGJHPiqQzY-qfXy-Vq7zuFNwQJvZzBS3fCCxNponRq_yAN2JWva9mREIiZeENnPFP3FHJkWDRkBZNglwk/s320/IMG_3397.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We wanted to include the kiddos in as much of the annual Candlelight Christmas Service as possible.

Since we were all unexpectedly stuck, it provided a unique opportunity to get to know many of the other expat families on the island!

What a blessing we have technology to meet online, but nothing beats meeting in person to learn, grow, and worship God together. We had a group of students return to the island for a few shorts weeks, then sent them back out to finish their school in the US. Celebrate Recovery was able to launch new open share groups, and we welcomed some people back who had not been able to connect with us online.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There are still families and individuals who are not able to join us in person, and that's ok!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This verse popped up on my memories today on Facebook. It was one of those instances where I'm blown away by perfect timing. The living and active word of God told me something I needed a year ago, and something I needed today. God used even something as tumultuous as Facebook to bring my attention back to where He wants it to be. Praising the Lord with everything. Our leaders my fail since they are only human, but our help comes from God. He keeps His promises. He satisfies, He sets free, He heals, He loves. He takes care of those who cannot care for themselves, those most vulnerable in a society. He rules throughout eternity! No wonder the psalmist begins and ends these verses with, "Hallelujah!" which means, "God be praised!"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> We are still trying to find our footing in this new normal of living through a pandemic. We know you are too. Maybe you're like us; some days we feel like we've got this! Most other days we have no idea what to do next. Our plans to come back to the US for a visit have been canceled. St Kitts's border is closed down hard, with no date in sight to reopen. Even if they did, is it safe to travel? Would they close up again before we could come home? Would we have to quarantine in a government facility on reentry? Sometimes the questions feel impossible and there are very little answers. Then I re-read Psalm 146 and my soul remembers, once again, who is in control. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> So, It's time for me to choose to focus on all that God is doing that we can see right now! St Kitts has only had 17 total cases of covid. There are 2 active cases right now, but they were imported by a returning national and do not seem to be causing community spread as far as they can tell. Our country has reopened most businesses, although the ones who rely on tourism have stayed closed. Other industries and jobs are growing, which will help to diversify the economy and have long term benefits for the citizens here! The kids finished school and both made the honor roll (We are so proud of their hard work. Online school is not our favorite). The beaches are open <font size="2"><i>*The Hallelujah chorus plays in the background*</i></font>! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Our church has begun meeting in person again, while still offering an online service for those who are not comfortable coming or who are stuck off the island. Aaron was officially voted in as senior pastor and is loving his new role! Celebrate Recovery continues on virtually, but we are starting to meet in person with our men's and women's small groups. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Aaron was asked to serve as a Regional Representative for CR in St Kitts & Nevis, as well as surrounding islands who may come on board in the future. He has been in contact with two churches in Nevis and a church here in St Kitts who are all interested in starting the program in their communities. Celebrate Recovery will be holding it's annual summit online at the end of the month, and thanks to a generous donation we were able to cover the cost of the tickets for these three pastors plus three leaders from our own CR group! We are excited to see how God moves this forward. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> My work has also changed - in that I either can't do it (prison & New Horizon are still closed to visitors, Children's Church is not yet feasible with current restrictions, many of the young women from church are not even on the island, etc), or I don't have time to do it with having the kids at home <i>all. of. the. time.</i> I adore my kids, but I had become content with being a working mom years ago. This stay-at-home-mom gig is not for the faint of heart! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> However, God is giving me new contentment and joy in this season as well. I love getting to spend the extra time with my babies, I'm trying to find a routine to keep the house moderately clean, and I'm having the opportunity to get to know other moms who also find themselves with kids and time and on their hands. Today Aaron planned to take the morning off so I could grab my laptop, go to the coffee house, and write! I know the time is coming when the kids will be in school and I'll be scheduling every hour of my life to fit in what needs to happen. This slow pace is something I'm gonna try and enjoy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> That pretty much sums up May, June, and the first half of July. However, since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are some lovely visual representations of the last couple of months:</div>

There are so many people here who have lived, or have loved ones who live, in the United States. I could write an entire piece on the dynamics here, but so many people we know have experienced racism, and discrimination based on being foreign, while in the US. That's not to even mention our American black friends who live in SK for school. A group of those students organized a peaceful walk and time of silence and reflection. It was a blessing to join beside them. This family is anti-racist, and we will raise our kids to know and understand how to use their privilege and their citizenship to stand up for those around them. </div>

Once things opened up, I went to the doctor to figure out what was going on. After 3 weeks of tests and treatments, my gallbladder was deemed the official culprit. We made the decision to do the surgery here, not knowing when we can return to the US. It was quite an experience, a lesson in what expensive American medical care is paying for, and a reminder that God is holding us no matter what. My surgery went very well, and once I got back home I recovered quickly. I feel sooooo much better now, and I can eat food without pain!</div>

They have grown so much, both physically and as little people. This year was incredibly challenging, but they have learned some amazing life skills because of it. They can use Zoom, know video meeting etiquette, can compose an e-mail, and can navigate multiple online platforms. I honestly giggle when people talk about children being behind because of all of this. Kids learn in a million different ways. If we are stuck on classroom learning as the only form of adequate education our children will miss out on a myriad of important life experiences and learning opportunities. I think this generation of kids will end up leaps and bounds ahead of the previous ones.</div>

Aaron wanted a photo in his CR hat in the traditional CR freedom pose. It didn't take more than 10 second for Dean to want to be a part of it, looking up at his father to figure out the right way. I want to look up at my Heavenly Father with the same excitement and commitment to doing things the way He does them.</div>

They have a two part ministry - they provide food for around 15 families every month, and they have a clothing drive where they sell donated clothes at very low prices to raise more money for the food program. They also hand out vouchers for free clothes for families in need. Everything they do they include the Gospel in and pray for the people they serve. We have helped gather donations and raise funds, and some from our church have been able to volunteer before, but Aaron and I were finally able to join in!

I know what you're thinking - it's not September... and there isn't a 'u' in the word labor. Well, in St. Kitts Labour Day is the first Monday in May... and we kept the British version of most English words. Usually celebrated with cookouts and beach time, this year we are on 24 hour lock down to prevent such gatherings. My toes are craving the feeling of sand and sea, but my head knows that keeping people safe is important.<br />
<br />
We have been so happy to see how the threat of covid-19 seems to be leaving our island slowly, but surely. Of the total 15 cases, 8 have recovered! 0 people have died or needed major medical treatment. As frustrating as lockdown has been, it worked. A few more essential business have been allowed to open, and we have 4 days each week to leave our residence and do what we need to do. No gatherings, no beach access, and no dining-in options yet.<br />

Ministry has continued online as best as possible! Church streams on Sundays, Life Groups and CR Small Groups on video chat, and doing our best to be the hands and feet of Jesus when possible. We have delivered groceries, dropped off care packages, did atm runs, and even helped a student move who is stuck off island! Being able to meet practical needs for those around us is a blessing and a privilege.</div>

One of our favorite projects that has actually increased in this time has been our church's involvement with a local organization, Christian Community Missions (CCM). Typically CCF helps gather donations of food and clothing for CCM to distribute to families in need. The people who receive donations also receive prayer and the Gospel is shared with them. </div>

Since tourism has completely been cut off and many businesses shut down, the needs have greatly increased. CCM is hoping to open a food pantry to store food donations and streamline distribution to the community. Thanks to generous donors both from the island and from the US, we have been able to help fund almost 6 months of food for families in need! We would love to be able to help with venue costs and feeding even more families as well. If you want to donate, you can via <a href="http://paypal.me/katelyncomer">paypal</a> and we will get all proceeds raised to CCM. The director, Mary Ade, sends this thank you to all who have already contributed:</div>

Certain things have felt relatively normal, even with the lock down. Being far from family, our holidays are generally low-key. This year for Good Friday, our friend Shackila made us a traditional meal of coconut dumplings, salt fish, and egg plant. Our buddy Shawn also brought us over some conkies, a yummy cinnamon raisin dumpling wrapped in banana leaves! </div>

The kids both finished term two and began term three of school in April, but with a three week spring break between! Like many people spending their breaks at home, we bounced from bored to fun to rest to craziness. It did breed some interesting creativity from the kids! Trick photography, spa days, turning a stuffy into a costume, and getting the inflatable pool cleaned up and in use!</div>

Their wonderful teachers wrote sweet notes and let the kids know they are cared about and missed. We are praying that the school is allowed to open back up before the end of the term next month. If not, we hope we can at least schedule time to see their friends in person over the summer. </div>

We couldn't take a photo because of sensitive locations, but we got to participate in a zoom call with Faith Promise missions staff and all of the other FP missionaries around the world! It was so cool to put faces with names, reunite with some old friends, and also to hear about the work God is doing with everyone. What a blessing to be a part of that group! A week later Faith Promise also invited us to share on a zoom meeting of FP staff and attenders who have a heart for local and global missions. We are a bit rusty, but it was really fun to get to talk about the cool things God uses CCF and CR St Kitts to do. </div>

Our home church has walked along side of us every step of the way during this pandemic. It would be easy for them to say, "Sorry, we have to focus on all our people here in this time." and we would have understood! Instead we have received e-mails, phone calls, and lots of love. They have made sure we know we are cared about. When we brought up the CCM food pantry they didn't even hesitate, jumping in with huge contribution to make sure that we can care for people here better - both spiritually <i>and </i>physically. We are eternally grateful for them!</div>

We don't yet have many answers about the future or next steps for our island, or ourselves, in this season. We don't know when curfew will be lifted. We don't know when school will be open. We don't know when the church will be allowed to gather. We have absolutely no clue if we will be able to return to the US for a short home assignment in July. But we do know that God has been more than faithful already, and He will continue to lead us and meet every need. </div>

I wish I could take credit for this gorgeous photo, but the truth is it would be a rare day for me to be up by sunrise (usually 6am here in St Kitts). Now that our kids are on spring break our family's night owl-ness is in full swing. For some reason the psalmist's words always make me feel like I have to be up at sunrise to follow suite in worship, but today at 10:45am I sang my heart out to the Lord, tears flowing and hands lifted. From conversations I've been having I think many of you all around the world can relate. We are in distress, and for me it is a daily choice to find refuge and safety in our Father.</div>

If you didn't read our last update, RLRI is a conference put on by Christian Veterinary Missions for the students at ROSS university of Vet Med here on the island. They teach practical professional skills as well as how to live your life on mission for Christ through your practice. We were honored to be able to serve as a church leadership for this event.</div>

We had no idea this would be one of the last times we met in person for CR for the season. Celebrate Recovery St Kitts has been so precious this year as our 12 steps groups have really begun to get close with each other and open up more and more. We have enjoyed adding dinner to our weekly service and having time to bond as a CR family! </div>

This week was the first time that even the thought of Covid-19 in St Kitts came up. A few families from the school chose to keep their kids home while some sent their kids with masks and gloves. Most, like us, were not really concerned, The school invited Dr Holness (our family doctor) to speak at an assembly to help calm down and educate all our children on the virus, how to wash their hands, and how to be safe and careful while not being fearful. </div>

Our electricity (or current as our local friends say) went out 6 times in the first week of March! Part of living in a developing country is not having guaranteed power or water on a daily basis. We would pile in the car, crank the AC, and find places to get cozy while we waited on power to return. </div>

Her class had a really cool math field trip that day! They went to a local grocery store, had a list and a budget, and then went shopping! The team closest, but not over, their budget won. Her team didn't win because they were too much under budget. I told her that would be a HUGE win in my book!</div>

By the 11th, Dean was all better, but the rest of us were down for the count with the stomach virus he had brought us. Dean was able to go to Basseterre Animal Rescue Centre (BARC) and read to puppies! I was a little jealous. All field trips after this were canceled as fears of the coronavirus began to rise. </div>

We got to celebrate the birthday of one of my best friends, Tori! Her boyfriend, Brian, had come down to visit and we all got together for yummy food and fun games. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is also the day that Ross, where Tori attends, announced that they would no longer have in-person classes but were instead switching to an online platform. All students were free to fly back to their homes and continue classes from there. This was the first major precaution taken on our island, and it really led the way as both other major universities here also chose to go online shortly after. </div>

The government of SKN at this point was reminding everyone there is no need to panic, but that did not stop the mad toilet paper hoarding from creeping up. I wanted to run into the bulk store for a box of boxed milk, and saw it packed out like never before. My 20 minute wait felt like an eternity compared to normal. I rolled my eyes, avoided the TP, and got out as quick as possible.</div>

As our kids jumped into virtual school, we were notified that our village would have no electricity for the entire school day. Praise God they were making repairs to prevent the frequent outages from continuing to happen, but the timing was still a bit crazy. Thankfully, God provided a space through our church building and permission from the owners so that we could all work and learn!</div>

Two days after the USA announced a level 4 travel advisory we met for our last in-person church service. We realized as a leadership that it was time to care for our people in this way - both encouraging church members not to gather in large groups, and also providing a church connection for those from our congregation who were now spread across multiple countries and cities.</div>

We streamed on both <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Caribbean-Christian-Fellowship-109468330517935/">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7kpAlCfNVw4S-Md1qiLh9Q">YouTube</a> (feel free to use those links to check us out this coming Sunday! 9am on Facebook and 10:30am on YouTube)</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">That evening we also had our first online Life Group. It was really sweet to connect with people all over the place and discuss God's Word together.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">By the last day of March our country had 8 confirmed (imported) cases and had officially gone in to full, 24-hour lockdown. What a difference from the beginning of the month! And even though it is now April 7th, our lock down has been extended. We have certain days we can leave for essential business, only two days per week. Grocery stores are limiting the amount of shoppers, so lines to get inside are taking 3+ hours. We have 11 confirmed cases as of this morning. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This was also our first day of CRCR - Celebrate Recovery Crisis Response online small groups. The men and women from CR St Kitts met, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">separately</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">, via video chat. It went so well and we were excited to still get to spend time with our amazing recovery family!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Praise God that the island is still getting shipments, so they are able </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">to restock</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> the shelves as fast as people are pulling things off. We are doing everything we can to love and serve those around us, to look for ways to help those who will be out of work and in </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">financial</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> trouble soon, and to spend time as a family growing closer to each other and the Lord. We even have a wonderful friend staying with us right now so she can limit exposure for her grandparents and great grandmother. </span></span></div>

No, the above photo was not taken on our trip to CO in December. Instead, my baby boy is bundled up in PJs, hoodie, and blanket on our couch at home. In 78* weather. To say that we have adjusted to life on high temperatures would be an understatement. Now, this doesn't mean we are happy at 102*, but instead we just have an intolerance for anything that could be described as "colder than summer" in most other places. </div>

I once read some good advice about missions blogging - if you don't have anything to say, then don't say it. So in early February I made the decision not to write about January only. It was a pretty straight forward month and I knew I could add it into our February update no problem. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then February went by in an instant, full of ministry events and family visits and birthday celebrations. Now a week into March I've finally found the time to sit down and organize my thoughts. I'm not even sure I'll be able to finish today. It may be the middle of the month before you read this. Or it could be this afternoon. Either way, I just want to assure you that God is doing cool things in St Kitts and we are loving it!</div>

The kids started Term 2 of school! With a 4 week winter break, the start of this term feels a lot like a brand new year of school. They even get 3 weeks off in April before Term 3! I wasn't sure if I would like that schedule, but this year has brought harder work and we are <i>all</i> dreaming of the next time off.</div>

Aaron has continued co-pastoring CCF and teaches at least twice a month. I have loved watching his giftings in this area grow. God has been so faithful to speak through Aaron and Kistian and we have gotten really sweet encouragement from people in the congregation. </div>

The Flemmings and Aaron have been serving on the worship team as well since our worship leader, Frank, moved off island in December. With a very small team now we are praying for more gifted musicians and singers to join the crew. However, we are also working towards fostering spiritual growth in our volunteers before we put them on stage or in front of people. We can use prayer for wisdom in the process as well!</div>

We got all dressed up to drive into town and apply once again for residency renewal. It's a once-a-year procedure to keep us legally in the country. A pretty straightforward process, but it still often takes a long time and multiple trips back and forth. We are officially all four official for the rest of 2020!</div>

We had a really cool one-day visitor come and join us. Pastor Michael DiMarco, along with his wife Hayley and their daughter, were here on a cruise. They felt led to reach out and see if we would want him to teach so that Aaron and Kistian could have a week with a bit more rest. Not only do they live near Nashville so we could bond over Tennessee, but Michael already teaches in the same way that we do here at CCF. If their names sound familiar, both Michael and Hayley write, but Hayley DiMarco has authored over 40 books for young and adult women! It was a privilege and a blessing to have the three of them with us. </div>

Dean's class did presentations on where they spent their Christmas vacations. It was so sweet to hear about the different cultures, countries, and traditions represented by the 18 different international students. These three boys represented time in Nepal, the US, and Germany! Not just research, this is where they went or where they spent time last year. When I question if we are doing the right thing raising our kids 2000 miles from home and many "kid" opportunities they would have in TN, God always reminds me of the amazing experiences they have because of where He has called us to be. </div>

Our February guest speaker was Pastor Glen Dixon from one of the local churches on the other side of the island. When we met Glen a couple years ago we found out that he had lived for over a decade in Chattanooga, TN! He was also familiar with CR from his work answering phones for the Hope Line, a radio show that gave young people a chance to call in and receive prayer and resources/referrals. He dug into our month's verse, Lamentations 3:40 <i>Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. </i>It was so cool to have a new perspective on a verse we have been teaching for years. It was very refreshing and re-filling.</div>

CCF has always been heavily involved in the conference because: 1. We have a ton of vet students who attend our church. 2. We love the students and the club and have the skills to help with sound, worship, teaching the Word, and organizing/preparing. 3. CCF wouldn't exist without CVM. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
CVM's local chapter, called Christian Veterinary Fellowship (CVF), birthed a church 9 1/2 years ago which became Caribbean Christian Fellowship (CCF, we have a bunch of confusing acronyms around here).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From the slowness to the craziness, we are just so here for what God is doing. Whether it's CR or CCF, local people or students and expats, those incarcerated or those on the outside, God has been knitting them all together through the work He allows us to do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He has also knit them all into our hearts, stitch by stitch. He is creating a beautiful piece of art out of it. Many days the stitches seem to be slow in completing, caught up, or even tangled. Other days they are smoothly woven in and out, in and out, in a rhythm that makes my heart feel light (its definitely a reggae beat on those days, smooth and calm). No matter what, God continues to make it clear that we are called to<i> this </i>place, <i>these</i> people, and for <i>this</i> time. We can trust Him with the rest.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> It's a new year. You're welcome if you didn't know ;) But in all seriousness, January is when we are flooded with ideas of NEW; "new year new you", new diets, new trends, new beginnings, new classes, new plans, even a new decade! I happen to LOVE the idea of a new year - fresh, un-lived, waiting to be planned out and journeyed through. It feels like new possibilities and new hope. So I thought I would start with a few verse where the Bible highlights <u>new</u>.</span><br />

The reason I decided to dive into this "newness" was honestly because I had been feeling discouraged. At first glance, I didn't feel like much new was happening. No new CR classes, no new volunteers, no new ministries being started, and no new update on finding a senior pastor for the CCF. Where was my <i>new</i> that I crave each year at this time? Through these verses, God began to show me just how much *new* was really going on.<br />
<br />
He is making hearts new all around us, both at church and CR. One of the women at the prison, we will call her Sally, has been coming to the class for 2 1/2 years. In the beginning, she was sullen, quiet, angry. She rarely spoke, but if she did it was to rail against God and all the ways she felt He had failed her. Sally's life was full of hardship & abandonment. "Where was God in that?" she wanted to know. As the months and years have gone by, Sally has continued to faithfully attend the CR class. Slowly she began to let her guard down. She started to smile, we found out she loves to sing, and just last month she chose to answer questions with honesty and volunteered to pray for the class! Just like He has done (and is doing) for me, God is making Sally into a new creation. She is claiming the salvation that she thought had been taken from her by her bad choices. Sally now has new hope.<br />
<br />
While we are rejoicing in the growth and change of those around us, last year was very challenging for our family. We have needed God's renewing and His new mercies in such a real way. After saying goodbye to dear friends, finding out so many plans had changed, and extended our time in the US because of a death in the family, we then came back to St Kitts to try and learn-as-we-go how to co-pastor a church during a huge transition.<br />
<br />
Then Dean started getting sick. He was out of school for nearly two weeks of his first term, which meant he was home with us while we (tried) to work. Addalyn had to go in to the doctor for medication adjustment, and her dose was doubled because she has grown so fast, and she is seeing a second doctor now as well. Then she got strep throat. And needed antibiotics. Then I caught the flu. And needed all the gatorade and soup and ibuprofen. You would think we were trying to send our doctor's kids to college with the amount of time and money we had to spend in his office!<br />
<br />
But God's word says that, though our bodies are failing, He will renew our spirits. That our present troubles wont last very long. That his mercies or compassions are new every day! We have been praising Him for good medical care, for healing, and for sustaining us through it all. Also for co-laborers and co-leaders that kept every ministry going smoothly, even when we had to miss because of illness. I may not have been able write a December blog post, but we survived :)<br />
<br />
Lastly, we have a promise that he will do new things moving forward. He never just leaves us behind! He will continue to work in our hearts and in others. He will continue to sustain and provide. And most importantly, He will open doors and direct our paths in His timing, according to His perfect plans.<br />
<br />
Even with the craziness, the holidays were still full of sweet and special times!<br />

After weeks of coughing on and off, culminating in the "incident" at breakfast, I finally took him in and our amazing doctor recognized that Dean's airways were constricted. He set us up with some meds and an inhaler, then played legos with Dean while the pharmacist taught me how to use everything. We are super grateful for Dr. Holness!</div>

She had a sleepover with some girls from school. We played a ton of games. They loved Empires best! They watched a movie, and then stayed up chatting late into the night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish I could say the party was awesome, but some of the girls were grouping up, making others feel left out, and trying to break the rules after bedtime. Addalyn learned some hard, but valuable, lessons about friendship, what to do when someone wants you to do the wrong thing, and how to navigate hurt feelings and clicks. I wish it would get easier from here, but I remember middle school. Prayers for our girl as she grows up into the new season would be appreciated! Also - prayers for us because we have a preteen daughter and we may not survive this. Please send chocolate. </div>

Even in St Kitts, we see that the American holiday and its timing are used by many locals as a way to celebrate all they are thankful for. While thanking God should be a daily activity, we especially love this reminder to focus in on the good things we have. So here is our list of 10 things we are thankful for! There may be a bonus one (or two, or three) at the end. Hey, gratitude is a stress reliever. It's my list! I'll do what I want! Not that you would mind. Ok, here goes:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Pomegranate pictured at the top, passion fruit pictured just above. Still waiting on them to be ripe enough to pick and enjoy. In addition to literal fruit, we are so thankful for the fruit we see in Celebrate Recovery St Kitts, in Caribbean Christian Fellowship, and in ourselves as a family. Our kids wont have their own section (although we are more grateful than we can express to be their parents), but will instead be included in many of the 10. We pray daily for fruit in our children's lives. They have so much growth ahead, but hearing Dean sing his lungs out in praise, or Addalyn (unprompted) praying for other people before bed, fills our hearts with joy at God's amazing grace and work in all our lives. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> We have spent quite a bit of time at a doctor's office in the last 6 weeks. Dentist (healthy teeth, yay), GP (the kids' impetigo is the bane of my existence, and it is slow in healing), and counselor (who is amazing!). Adequate healthcare is not guaranteed to everyone. While a major medical procedure could be problematic on our little island, every health concern we have faced has been care for by amazing doctors and health care professionals. Even Addalyn's smile is in thanks to dentist who could fix two chipped front teeth! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> St Kitts has such a strong sense of community. From pride in individual villages/neighborhoods to a country-wide sense of responsibility, to our church (and many others) who provide a community where people know they belong. In October we were able to participate in the Family Fun Walk for the St Christopher Children's Home (St Kitts is short for St Christopher!). Hundreds of people came out to raise money for this amazing home. They do face painting, warm up exercises, a walk or run, and dinner. We always see people we know and have a great time!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> CCF (our church) hosted it's second Coffee & Canvases night! Our super talented friend Alexis taught us step by step how to paint a waterfall. It was very challenging, but a ton of fun! My favorite part is seeing how unique they all turn out, and hearing all the laughter and chatter as us less artistic ones push our way to through it. I'm hoping we can squeeze one more in before Alexis and her husband, Jonah, head off island to finish his Vet degree.</span></div>

Amelia, Yamarlor, Shackila, and Tannis (not pictured) are not only some of our favorite people, and sweet friends, but they are also amazing co-leaders with us in our CR ministries. Thankful doesn't begin to describe how we feel. They give up time on a weekly basis to love, serve, and lead. They are committed to growing and walking in their own recoveries as well. It is a privilege to serve alongside them and get to be their friends. We are also excitedly looking toward Yamarlo and Shackila taking on more responsibility within CR!</div>

Kistian and Aaron have been co-pastoring our church, Caribbean Christian Fellowship, since July of this year. Kistian and Cassie moved here to St Kitts the same month we did 3 years ago! We have walked along this adjustment together. From different countries and cultures, we have not always understood exactly what the other was going through, but our love of the Lord and for serving Him and His people have bonded us together. I don't know what we would do without them here! Beyond the weight they carry to make the church service happen each week, they equally carry the (more important) weight of ministry - caring for the people God has entrusted us with. Plus, they are really fun, and they have the cutest one year old who gives snuggles and is full of laughter.</div>

Faith Promise Church, our sending church from Knoxville, TN, brought a team of 8 to come and care for us and St Kitts. We plugged them into CR, CR Inside (prison/juvenile detention), and our church. They led worship, built a volleyball net frame, taught the Word, ran a clothing drive, shared their stories, loved on our kids, and even sent us on a date! We appreciated so much the way they helped us accomplish goals and furthered our reach in ministry. We also enjoyed the southern accents and not having to explain why our tea was both cold and sweet. Thank you FP!</div>

One member of the mission team, Chase, has a special place in our family. We met him when he was in middle school and have watched him grow into a Godly and mature young man. He came with us to St Kitts almost 6 years ago and our kids came home saying, "Can we keep him mommy??" He is now about to graduate from Highlands College and is then hoping to come back to St Kitts for a 1 year internship with us and CCF. Chase impressed us all week by jumping in to serve at every chance. While he was willing to teach and lead, his was constantly in the background cleaning, setting things up, putting things away, washing our dishes, and doing whatever needed to be done. His humility and servant heart will serve him well as he learns more about ministry and missions! We are looking forward to his return once he has graduated and raised his needed support.</div>

I mean, if you have pets you get this one. They provide snuggles, love, silliness, and joy. We are especially thankful because Dandelion (the cat) has been sick for over a week and is FINALY starting to feel better. Now that he is eating again, he is barfing more while he re-adjusts. Pray for us as we all have weak stomachs and feel like barfing ourselves when we have to clean it up. </div>

& Technology & a Great School! After the wonderful mission team left, we were happy but exhausted. That week the kids' had an extra day off school, so we spent the long weekend decorating for Christmas, watching movies, and going to the pool. Rest is not just pleasant, it's a gift from God, and a must if we don't want to burn out. We often are reminded of this the hard way, and so we are striving to be more intentional about our time "off" and together. Thanks to the invention of video calls, our kids still got to hear the story of the little Christmas tree told to them face to face by their Gradmommy and Granddaddy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm also squeezing their school into this category. SKI has given us several fun ways to come up with costumes, brain storm ideas, and have fun as a family. I can't count how many special days they have had this term, and it's not over yet! Their school staff also has done so much to accommodate some extra needs in the classroom. They aren't required to, but they have always gone above and beyond to make sure our kids learn effectively!</div>

One time a friend said to me, "I don't really pay attention to aesthetic." I could not be more opposite. Environment sets the tone for me in many ways. I blame having a father who is a home designer, always being around art, and having creatives for family members. Whatever the reason, God made me to appreciate my surroundings. Almost every single day I lose my breath as I drive around some curve or over a hill. The water, plants, hills, mountains, and sunshine make my heart cry, "Look what God has made!" I'm so grateful for living somewhere so stunning. P.S. Tennessee makes me feel this way too, especially when we visit. We notice the beauty more now!</div>

It has been a rollercoaster few months with supporters having to stop giving, but new supporters coming alongside us. God always has been and continues to be our provider, but we are also incredibly grateful for the men, women, and families who sacrifice each month to allow us to live and serve here. We are still about 10% underfunded heading into 2020, so if becoming one of our financial supporters is something you are interested in you can easily give online through <a href="http://ssmfi.org/missionary/aaron-and-katelyn-comer">Shepherd's Staff - Aaron and Katelyn Comer</a> or contact us for more information! Once a quarter we send out our thank you cards and we pray for every person on our list. Thank you for trusting God with your money and allowing us to pursue His calling here in St Kitts. Your generosity enables us to love and serve some of the most unreached people on the island - those imprisoned, both physically and/or spiritually - who did not believe there was hope for a new life until they heard about it at Celebrate Recovery. </div>

Also, My husband. </h3>

Because this is supposed to be "our blog" I didn't immediately include him on the list. But ya'll know I'm the one writing this. He is doing other amazing things like preparing messages, contacting people, making plans, loving and serving me and the kids, spending time with his Heavenly Father, or one of a million other things that he does because He is the most incredible human being on the planet! I would not be who I am or where I am without him. I love him more than words can say, and my thankfulness for Him is beyond measure.<br />
<br />
<br />
What are you thankful for? I know it's cliche to ask this in November, but I promise you that it will change you whole attitude if you list it out! Write it in the comments, or under the link facebook. We are so thankful for each of you!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Back in our own beds, with our own kitchen, and the way of life that we have become used to. It's hot. I mean, so so hot. It's not the easiest time of the year to try to reacclimatize, but that's ok. Because it's home. And we love it.<br />
<br />
Our arrival back to St Kitts was 1 week later than planned. Instead of having a few days to unpack and get settled, we rushed to get our kids back to school the next morning. New teachers and grades always bring us a bit of stress. We know our kids are awesome, but teachers are a bit less biased than we are. However it has been a great experience so far! We have a fantastic team of educators who love our kids and are helping them to be as successful as possible!<br />

Masqueraders and a Moko Jumbie came to help the kids celebrate. We haven't interacted much with either character much before, as one is a part of carnival celebrations (a season that celebrates sinning as much as you can before lent), and the other represents a spirit or 'god' from African folklore. However, we love the opportunity to talk with our kids about culture, and why missions exists - people all over the world believe things or celebrate things that go against the truth of the Word of God. Thats why we go, that why so many have gone, to wherever God calls us to declare truth and freedom and hope!</div>

Each class performed for the parents as a part of the Independence Day program! This is Dean's class (Grade 2) and Grade 4 singing "Island in the Sun" by Harry Belefonte. It was a big hit with the parents! Addalyn was sick and at home, but her class did a great job speaking about how St Kitts has helped their Caribbean neighbors in the face of major disasters. They are even organizing a food drive to send needed items to the Bahamas in the wake of Hurricane Dorian. </div>

The prison has been a bit sporadic (what's new?), but one of my favorite new things with the ladies is that we have started incorporating worship music into our time together! I have wanted to for a while, but hesitated to do it. We didn't have a great way to bring in music, I'm not a musician, and I don't know many of the songs that the ladies are familiar with. Praise God for an amazing co-leader! Tannis had all the ladies write down their favorite songs, found them and put them on a CD, and even printed lyrics off for everyone. The ladies LOVE it!</div>

With the prison and our Tuesday night CR group, we were launching new 12-Step Studies! Thanks to <a href="http://faith promise.org" target="_blank">Faith Promise Church and FP Celebrate</a> we came back with giant stacks of workbooks ready to be placed in the hands of men and women who are seeking freedom through Christ.

One thing we want to do a better job of this year is getting out and doing the normal St Kitts activities. How can we share Christ in a culture that we don't really understand? We have learned a lot in over 2 1/2 years, but we want to be more involved. So step 1, we went to a cricket match! I had a lot learn. I thought it was basically baseball, but that is not very true. There are pitchers and hitters, but beyond that's it's pretty different! And a whole lot of fun. Unfortunately, only a few of the CPL games are played in St Kitts, but we hope to get to some more next year.</div>

The girls! Addalyn used headphones and music to drown out the yelling and horns, and she probably played with snapchat filters more than watching, but she said she had fun! </div>

You might be saying, "Wait, I thought you had new responsibilities? That things had changed? This seems like the same stuff!" Well, you are right! Things have changed. In addition to the work we have been involved with, our roles at Caribbean Christian Fellowship have also changed. We have had the privilege of serving as leadership at the church for nearly 3 years, but being on a board and pastoring a church are pretty different. </div>

Aaron is doing Sunday morning teachings about every other week, I am in charge of Children's Church (I know, I'm also shocked, but you do what you gotta do), Aaron is over the AV team, we both still lead the prayer time before service, and we have helped take on all the weekly administration things. Do you know how many phone calls pastors receive and make? Yeah, it's a lot.</div>

We have an amazing co-pastor family, Kistian and Cassie Flemming. They have also taken on major church responsibilities, and Kistian also teaches on Sunday mornings. I don't know what we would have done without them! Our other leadership team members also help out. Kendrick Brown is the only other one on island right now, but he has been awesome. He was already the treasurer, but now is also over our bus ministry and helping to host a new Life Group soon.</div>

The amazing people who attend the church are being incredibly gracious as we work out all the kinks in our new systems. Please continue to pray with us for a full time Senior Pastor (missionary) to be called to CCF, and for wisdom for our church during the process. </div>

This month we had our Baptism and Beach service! What a blessing to live so close to the water that our baptismal is the Caribbean Sea. We were able to swim, eat, and just spend time getting to know more of the people who attend CCF. It was a blast! </div>

The best part of this event is the baptisms! I tear up every. single. time. Baptism isn't salvation, but it's an outward action that declares the inward change of giving our lives to Christ, and that is something to be celebrated! This past week our fiends Cynthia, Alexis, and Shaquel all chose to be baptized! </div>

Our banana trees are bearing fruit and being delicious! We have harvested bananas twice and plantains once. Did you know that once a banana/plantain tree bears fruit it never bears again? Luckily, little baby trees sprout off from the roots to grow and make more fruit. We have cut down the old trees and are waiting on the new fruit. I feel like there is probably a spiritual principal there somewhere lol</div>

Home Assignment and Some Big News The summer came and went in a flash! Our kids finished school and then headed off to Tennessee for a fun, adventure-filled summer with grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Aaron and I stayed three more weeks on the island to finish preparing for our long absence.<br />
<br />
Often when missionaries go on furlough (or what is now generally called "home assignment") they are asked about their "vacation". Honestly, it makes us cringe a bit. Home assignment is a chance to visit our home country, family, and friends. It is also our chance to follow the example laid out for us in the Bible. We come back to bring a report of what God is doing in the ministries we run in St Kitts.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span class="verse v26" data-usfm="ACT.14.26" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-indent: 16px;"> Finally, they returned by ship to Antioch of Syria, where their journey had begun. The believers there had entrusted them to the grace of God to do the work they had now completed. </span><span class="verse v27" data-usfm="ACT.14.27" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-indent: 16px;"><span class="content" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Upon arriving in Antioch, they called the church together and reported everything God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles, too. </span></span><span class="verse v28" data-usfm="ACT.14.28" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-indent: 16px;"><span class="content" style="box-sizing: border-box;">And they stayed there with the believers for a long time. Acts 14:26-28</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span class="verse v28" data-usfm="ACT.14.28" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-indent: 16px;"><span class="content" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></span></span></i></span>
<span class="verse v28" data-usfm="ACT.14.28" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-indent: 16px;"><span class="content" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> So after doing all that we could to ensure that Celebrate Recovery and CCF would run smoothly, it was time for us to head back for our 6-week home assignment in the USA! We had the privilege to share at churches in Knoxville, Jefferson City, and Tazwell, TN. Also in Greenville, SC, Lafayette, IN, and Indianapolis, IN. Each service and church is so unique, with their own way of doing things, but all of them have one major thing in common - they have a love and passion for the Lord and for His Word. THANK YOU is not enough to express our gratitude to these churches, how the blessed us whole we visited, and for all they do for us all year long.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="verse v28" data-usfm="ACT.14.28" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-indent: 16px;"><span class="content" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="verse v28" data-usfm="ACT.14.28" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-indent: 16px;"><span class="content" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> When we weren't speaking or traveling, we did get a chance to soak up time with our family and friends. We probably ate at Chick fil a at least 10 times! As well as all the Mexican food we could get a hold of (yum!). We purchased school clothes, toiletries, and 80 bags of lunch-box sized potato chips (thank you amazon pantry). We filled ourselves up in many ways so that we were ready to come back and pour out again. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="verse v28" data-usfm="ACT.14.28" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-indent: 16px;"><span class="content" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="verse v28" data-usfm="ACT.14.28" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-indent: 16px;"><span class="content" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> My mom turned 60, and we were able to be in town for that celebration! We miss so many celebrations throughout the year, so it was a big deal to be able to be a part of this one. We usually miss the hard things too. God heard our prayers this summer though. He called Aaron's 92-year-old grandmother home to Him while we were still in TN! We were able to delay our return tickets and stay so that we could processed this loss with the entire family. Grandma was a character, so funny, so full of love, and a blessing to everyone around her. She lived a long and full life, knowing Christ as her savior, so we have hope and joy because we will see </span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">her again! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Just before returning to our island home, we got some unexpected news; the Gill family (the ones moving down to pastor our church) are no longer able to relocate to St Kitts. After over a year of eye surgeries and appointments to repair Sye's retina, cornea, lens, and iris, they were informed that it will require another 2-3 years of surgery and regular check ups to finish the process of restoring his eye. We are all mourning as the impact of this continues to become reality. However, we all know that God is not surprised! He has always know that this is where we would end up. And He loves CCF more than we could ever imagine! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> So in the meantime Aaron, and the other assistant pastor Kistian, will be leading our church as interim pastors together. We are praying for, and seeking, the man that God would have to be the head of our church full time. We are working with our church's state-side organization and a ministry called Poimen Ministries to find a replacement. We would appreciate prayers in this season of extended transition and waiting! Prayers for unity as a leadership and as a body of Christ. Also against the enemies attempts to cause chaos in our church and in our homes. God is a good God. He will be faithful in this as He has been in everything we have ever faced before!</span><br />

<i>“Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, and they will return to you.”</i></div>

Redeem v. 1. compensate for the faults or bad aspects 2. gain or regain possession in exchange for payment. It's also one of my favorite words in the English language. Redeemed - in spite of all the junk I have done, all the chaos I have caused. Redeemed - paid for by my Father, my life has been bought back. What was once my mess is now what God is using to help point others back to Him. </div>

As we finished up the CR 12-Steps with the women in the prison. we decided to take a few months to study the Word and answer questions they may have about the Bible. Over and over these last two years we have talked about feelings; anger, indignation, anguish, loneliness, desperation, guilt, shame, repentance, desire to be loved, desire to be forgiven, and on and on. What a better place to turn than to the Psalms that David wrote? Entire chapters where we see that it is ok, no matter the feeling, to pour our hearts out to a God who cares deeply for us. </div>

This past week we studied Psalm 51. Verse 13 leaped off the page before my eyes. Just like me David had sinned and sinned big. Just like me he <i>knew</i> better, he knew the right way. These verses of repentance were more than just, "I'm sorry." David knew that when he experienced God's forgiveness he would be compelled to share this amazing news with those around him, those still stuck in their mess. </div>

Y'all, this is what we get to do! God has REDEEMED us and now allows us to share His good news for HOPE and a NEW LIFE. We are able to boldly proclaim to rebels (which we used to be) that God is waiting to clean them up and set them free. That He wants to redeem their lives and use them in the same ways He is using us. It's basically the best job ever. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whether we are at CCF (our church), Bible studies, Celebrate Recovery, the prison, the juvenile rehabilitation center, or one-on-one meeting with people, we both feel the privilege it is to encourage others and to continuously point them to Jesus. It's not easy; we have seen friends relapse, people drop out of the program, and men and women walk away from the church. But we have also seen God change lives. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
May and June flew by so fast, and now July is half way over! The kids finished up their first year at SKI academy, Aaron's parents were able to come visit, and then it was time to say goodbye to our wonderful friends, the Graysons. After serving God here in St Kitts for over eight years, pastoring CCF and growing it into a ministry that serves and loves an international community, and investing in countless lives, it was time for them to move back home to Indiana. We will forever be grateful for the ways they loved and served us, taught us, and constantly pointed us to Christ. It's not goodbye forever, but it was still one of the hardest "see ya laters" that we have had.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In this transition, please join us in praying for those who attend our church and CR, both "inside" the prison and out. Please pray for us and our friends, the Flemmings, as we have taken on many of the church responsibilities while we wait for the Gills, our future pastor and his family, to move down. Please pray that the all we get to do is led by God and God alone. </div>

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: bidi-override;"> April felt so long, and at the same time in flew right by. What is it about getting older that makes time pass at an increased speed? April included things like a talent show, three weeks of spring break, half our church having end of semester break, a wedding, lots of goodbyes, and plenty of fun. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: bidi-override;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: bidi-override;"> Even </span>with many of our CR participants traveling, we saw an increase in attendance, which is nothing short of God working. Aaron's group of guys have been so consistent, which is a big deal in this type of ministry. My ladies small group has roughly doubled in size! We are about to say a few more goodbyes, but I love seeing who God brings in during each season.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The biggest praise of April comes from our Celebrate Recovery Inside program. If you have been reading our updates, or receiving our newletter then you know how long we have prayed for Aaron to be able to start a small group with the men. Well this month was the month! Not only have they given Aaron permission to meet privately with around 10-15 guys, they have given him twice the amount of time <i>and</i> lined up his class with mine. it has been so fun to drive to town and walk to the prison together. I love seeing how the guards respect Aaron and interact with him. I'm a bit biased, but I'm so proud of who Aaron is and the way God uses him with everyone he comes in contact with.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We both have helpers in our CRI classes, which is also an answer to prayer. It enabled us to each take one week off while our kids were home on spring break. What a blessing to know the classes were still moving forward even when we couldn't personally be there. It's a humbling reminder that these ministry do not depend on us, but only of God to sustain them. He is so faithful to do so!</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> At New Horizons, Aaron was asked to com help with some extra spring break sports classes! He got to take some extra church volunteers with him, and the teenagers LOVED it. When they get the opportunity to be active in a constructive way it helps alleviate tension and increase endorphins. It also gave Aaron and the volunteers an extra few hours to talk about Jesus and his love for each of these kids. </span></div>

It is such a blessing to have them in our "island family". My mom was also there, but somehow I didn't get a picture! We loved having her there for this special night.</span></div>

God alone can do such wonderful things!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Y'all, saying goodbye does not get easier. In fact, it gets harder and harder. However, we had some wonderful wisdom through our missions training before we moved; they encouraged us to love fully, to refuse to put up walls, and to say goodbye well. That is always our goal and our heart with every friendship the Lord brings our way. It's an area that we would love your prayers in because it will take God's grace to keep us open hearted with all the transition this life here brings.</span></div>

The very first time we visited St Kitts, almost 6 ears ago, they were living here as missionaries. They helped start the Child Evangelism Fellowship program on the island. This is the same ministry that we do our weekly after school kids club with! Most of our friendship has been over facebook, but we love the times we have gotten to have face to face time with them.</span></div>

Big Exciting News! We are now fully funded to purchase our van! I, personally, love the mini van life. It will also enable us to pick up more than 1 or 2 people for CR and other church activities each week. Thank you to every person involved in making this happen! It becomes "our van" at the end of June, so we will be posting all the happy van pictures then :)</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Two years ago we were beginning to settle into our new home. We had arranged the furniture, hung the pictures, and decorated the best we could. We were trying to establish 'home' in a place that still felt so foreign and unfamiliar. Our yard was completely bare besides some grass. I longed for the woods that use to lay just behind our last home. For leaves and flowers and wildlife. Then we learned that, for the first time, we lived in an area where growing plants and fruit trees is relatively easy. Fertile soil, heavy rains, and tons of sun! A plant paradise most of the year. So I set out to see what we could plant that would also save us money at the grocery store each week. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Well, what I didn't know then is that fruit trees don't bear fruit quickly. When our dear friends, Cassie and Kistian, told us that it could take up to 5+ years for many types of trees to produce anything we could enjoy eating, I was so disappointed. What if I purchased and planted trees, water them, protected them from pests and funguses, fertilized them, and watched them grow only to leave St Kitts and go back to TN before we ever even saw the fruit? Would it be worth it?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> During my weeks of indecision, I began to read through Jeremiah. It was just where I happened to be my Bible reading plan, but the Lord knew exactly what I needed to read, and when. We were not exiled, but we could relate to being new in a land that is not our own. We know what it's like to look around and think, "How long are we going to be here? Will our efforts to settle be worth it?" Jeremiah 29:5 leaped off the page as I read, <span style="color: #616161; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">“Build homes, and</span><span style="color: #616161; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;"> </span><span style="color: #616161; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">plan to stay. Plant gardens, and eat the food they produce</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(97, 97, 97); font-size: 16px;"><span style="color: #616161; font-style: italic;">." </span>"Ok," I thought, "I better start planting some trees. It's time to put down roots."</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(97, 97, 97); font-size: 16px;"><i style="color: #616161;"><br /></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #616161; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(97, 97, 97);"> Here we are, nearly 2 1/2 years into this journey, and finally we have some fruit. One tiny Surinam cherry, so bright and so red. One of the </span></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(97, 97, 97);">banana</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(97, 97, 97);"> trees with a </span></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(97, 97, 97);">beginning</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(97, 97, 97);"> of a flower that will bear the smallest and tastiest bananas we have ever eaten (silk figs, silk bananas, apple </span></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(97, 97, 97);">bananas - they have many names). It wasn't easy. It has taken work, but it has mostly taken so much patience and faith.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="caret-color: rgb(97, 97, 97);"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="caret-color: rgb(97, 97, 97);"> Just like our young garden, God is producing fruit out of the ministries He allows us to be a part of! Just like our trees and bushes, these ministries have not been easy to cultivate. They have taken a lot of hard work. But even more so, they have taken patience and faith. Because it's God who grows our plants and it's only God who can produce fruit in the lives of those we love and serve. And just like our trees, the four of us have put down roots. Each of us in our own way and in our own time, but we are all growing and seeing the fruit that The Gardener is cultivating in us. </span></div>

My wonderful friend Kaitlyn boldly shared her story with us at Celebrate Recovery the past month! Early in her time on the island, she agreed to meet with me weekly and study the Word. She already loved the Lord, but He began to do a work in her heart and life so that her desire for His plan became more than for her own. Her time in St Kitts will be coming to an end in just a few months. I'm always sad to say goodbye, and this won't be different, but I also have so much joying knowing that wherever she goes she will be a light to those around her who need Jesus.<br />

This month, Aaron was able to reconnect with Fred*, a man he met in the prison. Fred had been attending CR, but was being transfer to the low-security prison in Nevis. Aaron wanted Fred to be able to continue his recovery, so Aaron gave him a copy of Life's Healing Choices, a book that covers the 8 beatitudes in Jesus's sermon on the mount. Fred ended up back in St Kitts, but realized that Aaron wasn't able to get in to teach class very often. So he decided to start a recovery group himself! He was gathering with a group of guys to read Life's Healing Choices so he could share what he had learned! Fred is now out, and excited about the Lord and his recovery. Because Fred took that initiative and started the group on the inside, the prison has agreed to give Aaron an extra hour for class and a better time slot so the class is less likely to get bumped! Many of you know that we have been praying for this opportunity for over a year and a half. You guys, God is so, so, so good and faithful! He is producing fruit in His way and in His time.<br />

At New Horizons Juvenile Rehabilitation Center, Aaron and I have been alternating weeks for 3 months now. I'm loving getting to know the young women! Now that we have separate male and female groups, we started CR 12-Step Studies (Biblically based) with the teenagers. We had a fun co-ed movie day as well, and the munched on popcorn while learning about the evidence for our faith from The Case for Christ. If you haven't seen that film, we highly recommend it! The kids are typical teens, and we don't always get a lot of openness, but every so often they bust out with stuff that has clearly been weighing on their hearts for some time. Please keep praying for God to move and for Him to show these young men and women who they are as His children, dearly loved and cared for. </div>

St Kitts & Nevis are a federation, and they are separated by a less than 2-mile channel. We hopped on a water taxi and spent a morning getting to know these amazing people, and hearing about the incredible things God is doing with Teen Challenge. They hope to launch a residential lodge soon, but are still waiting on funding. We all agreed that we want to learn more about the ministries and support each other any way that we can!</td></tr>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh, February! What was once the coldest and greyest month of the year in TN, is now possibly our favorite season.With cool winds, temperatures in the low-80's, and rainy season wrapping up, February filled our eyes with sunshine and our hearts with joy. We had multiple visitors and guest speakers at the various CR classes. We are praising God because the prison once again opened its doors to Aaron, and the women's class has stabilized! While not every woman has returned to class, God is working in these ladies' hearts (and mine) each week. We have also seen some of the former male residents of the prison seek out Aaron and begin to attend the Tuesday CR class. God is doing such wonderful things, and we love that we get to be a small part of it!</div>

A highlight from this month was the team of 9 women from <a href="http://www.hclafayette.org/" target="_blank">Harvest Chapel in Lafayette, IN</a>. One of which was Angela Gill who will be moving here in the next few months! Many of you have read about <a href="https://www.gillfamilymission.com/" target="_blank">The Gills</a>, and Sye's eye injury. This wonderful family will be taking over pastorship of our church as soon as they move to the island. We are still praying for them as Sye faces at least 2 more surgeries and healing time before they can come down! Please continue to pray with us for his healing, for their hearts in the waiting and the leaving, for all their support to be raised, and for their kids and families through all the transitions. </div>

Every women I talked to who attended the conference raved about it. As women of God, we need to hear more than "you are great, you can do this, pull yourself on up and make it happen." We need to know that, no matter what, GOD is able to hold us, sustain us, and that He ADORES us. He doesn't leave us or forsake us, no matter what we are going through. He doesn't expect us to fix everything ourselves, nor did He create us to do that. It's all about depending on Him. I could go on and on (and on), however - these ladies said it <i>much</i> better than I could in this paragraph.

(L to R) Kim, Celeste, and Ginny shared their testimonies with us. Celeste and Ginny had never shared their stories like that before, but they all did fantastic! It was wonderful to hear each woman speak to what had happened in their lives, and the way Jesus has moved, and is continuing to move.</div>

Not only did these women come all the way here, serve daily, and bless us like crazy - but they also had us over for dinner and gave each of our families bags full of gifts and goodies (including coffee, and girl scout cookies, so you know these gift bags were super legit). The thought and intention that went in to each bag was amazing. There were toys for each kid, home products, clothing, and treats.</div>

Early on in the week, Jennifer shared with me that their hope was to come alongside and help and support and make us feel loved. They want to be a blessing and not a burden. They 100% succeeded in those goals. These women are full of the love of Christ, and I can't wait until we get to see them again! </div>

He chose Salt Plage, a gorgeous outdoor restaurant on the peninsula, for his special dinner. Dean mostly likes these cool dockside hammocks, and watching the fire "dance" in the lamps. Thank goodness for grandparents who spoil him rotten and were willing to take us there, because dinner was DELICIOUS!</div>

After we dropped my mom and dad at the airport, Aaron left for the radio and New Horizons, so the kids and I hunkered down and spent the afternoon resting and loving on each other. The goodbyes are always really hard, but getting to have the time together is 100% worth it. </div>

Spring when everything blooms and grows, new school years when anything feels possible, and each January as a whole new year begins. As Aaron and I sat down to map out hopes and goals for 2019, I was filled with an awe of all God has already done. It's amazing starting the year feeling established and at home here in St Kitts.</span></span></span></span></div>

Even before we were in vocational ministry, we have been serving at our churches on a regular basis. It's a fantastic way to get to know people, feel invested, and to feel at home at a church. We highly recommend finding a place to plug in at your church community!</span></div>

Many of you may remember that last year we helped lead a Christian kids' after-school club, called <a href="https://www.cefonline.com/ministries/goodnewsclub/" target="_blank">Good News Club</a>, at SKI academy. The club has started back up, and having our kids as students at SKI makes it even more special! The kids' school is a small, international, private school. It is not, however, a Christian school. Being allowed to share the gospel on campus, and have fun with a this group of kids, is a huge blessing!</div>

New Horizons Juvenile Rehabilitation Centre has been the one place where we have been constantly able to teach almost every week for 2 years! Now, with more girls coming into the center, we have been allowed to split the guys and girls. Aaron has continued to go every other week with the young men, and now I'm able to go on his off weeks to teach the young women! They are precious, and we are looking forward to the depth that can come by splitting up the genders. </div>

This is Mikey. He is the gate guard at New Horizons. As the very first person I met after pulling up to NH, a bit anxious and unsure of myself, his smile put me right at ease! Without Mikey, and the other counselors and guards at NH and the prison, we would not be able to come in and spend time with the residents of these institutions. They are a blessing to us! Mikey was kind enough to let me snap this photo of him on my way out last week. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Volunteering for Velvet Ashes means that once a week I get to look at community members' posts, like/comment on them, and also make a couple of daily posts promoting the latest blog or featuring VA community photos. Velvet Ashes is an online community of woman serving overseas. They have been a blessing in my life as I transitioned to, and live in, a country that is not my own! If you are, or know, a woman serving overseas, then check out VA on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/velvetashes58/" target="_blank">facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/velvet_ashes/" target="_blank">instagram</a>, or <a href="https://velvetashes.com/" target="_blank">online</a>.</span></div>

The bigger of the two announcements: Hope & Recovery Radio starts Saturday, February 9th at 2pm (1pm eastern time) on <a href="http://www.dominionradioskn.com/" target="_blank">Dominion Radio</a>! A radio show is something we have been praying about for months now. Aaron finally felt the ok to proceed, and it was a breeze getting everything set up! It will be a great way to get the message of recovery, and hope in Christ, out into the community. Please pray for Aaron as he teaches, those listening to be open, and for churches around the island to want to learn how to start their own recovery meetings! </div>

Whew! After typing all this up, I realize why I feel so worn out! It has been a busy month, but a good one. We have experienced struggle, exhaustion/sleep troubles, and hurt. But the enemy doesn't realize that because of Christ we have so much JOY (my word of the year) each and every day. And God is still causing GROWTH (Aaron's word of the year); in our lives, and in the ministries He has us in. He is such a good Father who cares for us so well. Serving Him is our greatest pleasure. </div>

<br />
Falling asleep with the cool 'winter' breezes blowing through our room, listening to monkeys chatter, while waves crash on the sand somewhere in the distance, I thought, "I really love it here."<br />
<br />
My second thought was, "Too bad I can't share this part of our life."<br />
<br />
WHAT?! Why not? Why do I feel the need to amplify the negative instead of glorifying God for all the beauty and joy that we have found here?<br />
<br />
It started many years ago with some good advice, "Be careful how you represent your life there. People may think you are just on vacation if you only post the beach and the beauty." With that wisdom in our ears, we began to plan just how to accurately represent what our lives would be like. Over time, however, wisdom and tact turned into anxiety and fear.<br />
<br />
<i>Don't use that image in the slide show. Don't post that picture on Instagram. Emphasize the heat, bugs, poverty. Anything that 'proves' that we are not just lounging around in the Caribbean. </i><br />
<br />
These were the thoughts that swirled through my head on an almost daily basis. I felt guilty for our Sunday afternoons at the pool with friends, enjoying the view of the ocean as I drove around, or taking an unexpectedly free afternoon to go to the beach. This tiny 69-square-mile island is surrounded by water. The beach is one of the only free activities. But the fear and guilt would still creep up.<br />
<br />
I would feel as if we weren't 'suffering for Jesus' the way we were expected to.<br />
<br />
And is that really what makes a missionary good and right? Do they have to live in a mud hut with no running water and the constant risk of malaria in order to be seen as 'real' missionaries? Because that's the image of missions I had in my head my whole life. No one ever said it, but that was the message conveyed through stories and books and conversations. It's why I used to tell God, "No way! Don't choose me. I wont go." I know, the irony right?<br />
<br />
And maybe it's not just dirt floors that prove a missionary's worth. There were plenty of other 'qualifications' I would allow to float around in my mind. And if you're honest, and if you have ever thought about missions for more than a moment, I bet you could come up with a whole list of 'real missions work' too.<br />
<br />
But people with hurts and struggles in the Caribbean? In a place that happens to be beautiful and warm? A place where lots of cruise ships port, or that is home to more than one beautiful resort?<br />
<br />
Can you sense why we felt the need to focus on the hard, and bad, and difficult?<br />
<br />
Ok, so we aren't here to lay at the beach, to live normal lives, or even just have a healthy family and nice friends. Keeping ourselves in check is a good thing. We have a calling. We are here to proclaim freedom and hope. We are here to follow after God, and to equip and serve churches to share His plan for healing and restoration in the most broken places of their communities. There is long-term vision for residential recovery programs and island-wide addiction help. The beach is great, but the work is greater.<br />
<br />
We love the work! We just somehow felt that the work was all we were allowed to enjoy.<br />
<br />
So we pushed forward. We focused on the hard. We told you about the centipedes, the sweat, and no air conditioning. We talked about animals in the roads, grocery prices, and dirt roads. We showed how our cars fall apart from the salty air. Anything we found hard. To prove we were really worth the title of missionary. To you. To ourselves. But it was so bad for our hearts. It bred discontent, guilt, and bad attitudes. It became our normal to live in that negative place.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>“Do everything </i><b>without complaining</b><i> and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.”</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Philippians 2:14-15 (emphasis added)</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.”</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Proverbs 17:22 </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then God did something wonderful! Without even having to ask Him, He began to show me so many sweet and JOY-filled things about our life here: Christmas lights put up in town this year, neighborhood friends for my kids to run around with, the way the sun hits the mountains to the north of our house, how good this slow paced life is for us, the value of a relationship building culture instead of an efficiency focused one, an incredible and diverse school for our kids to learn and grow in, and in the way the sun shines on the Atlantic in the morning when I drive down this one road to get coffee or go walking with friends. He kept showing me His love in this way over and over. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I felt so convicted about the complaints, and God gently turned me toward His provision of JOY. He reminded me that He created the beauty of our host country, and that we are allowed to enjoy it. God spoke to my heart about rest and rhythm and a good attitude.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Philippians 4:8 </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> So this year I will choose to focus on the JOY that comes from living and serving God here. I choose not to focus on differences, inconveniences, or challenges (somebody remind me of this when it's hotter, or the next time I see a centipede, or need to go to a government office). I choose to present my requests to God and thank Him for all He has done so that I can focus on all the true and right and lovely things He has provided. So I hope that will be ok. I hope you will rejoice in knowing that we absolutely LOVE being in the place God has called us to.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;"> We don't live 'on vacation every day' (as a sweet flight attendant recently asked). Our lives are not perfect, not always easy, and it is not the same as life back in Tennessee. But what we do have here is special, and so very precious to us. We truly love this island we call home. </span></div>
</div>
<br />
And you know what else? I know, for a fact, that I can trust God. So if mud huts (or some other uncomfortable thing) is in our future - that will be ok! There will be JOY in that place too.<br />
<br />
<br />
What is God doing to show you the JOY in your life right now? I'd love to know! As I'm sure you can guess, my word for this year is JOY. Do you ask God for a word each year? What's your word for 2019?<br />
<br />
