So, it has been over a year since I last posted something on here...and now I only have 6 months left!! Time is flying by and He is still as amazing and faithful as He was when I started this amazing journey! 

One of the main reasons that I have not written more is because I allowed the devil to convince me that the more time went by from each entry, the more incredible the next blog needed to be. Well, let's just say that HE has done a lot of convicting me over the past month and so here I am.

Maybe I should do a brief paragraph summary of last year, I mean I want all of us to be on the same page!! So here goes...
 - Arrived in Cartagena with a partner, after 1 week Kimi (other J girl) leaves, after 3 weeks Brian (supervisor) and his family leave, and after 7 weeks Heather (partner) leaves. 
 - Learned a new language, new culture, and a new city with the help of Our Amazing Father, and a few local friends that I cannot imagine my life without! Thank you Diaz family, Ivan, Darlys, and Jorge for everything...your work still is not finished!!
- Have seen the Holy S work first hand through me in ways I have never seen as people accept HIM, hear His Truths from my spanish, leaders rise up to lead in sports ministry, children come to know Him, and introduce their families to Him as well.
- Shared my life with people all over this country, listened to their stories, pryd together in a language that is slowly becoming more of my own, and worshiped the same Amazing Dad with people who started out strangers and feel a lot more like family now!
- Been broken, rebuilt, broken again, beat up, put together, torn apart, sewn together, lifted back on my knees, and fell completely in a deep love with a Father that I knew before but not on this level.  

And the best part...He is still not finished! Which brings me to my thoughts for today. I recently watched an online club meeting that was talking about the parable of the two men who were building their house. One built his house on a foundation of sand and the other on a foundation of rock. Yes,I have read this story thousands of times and am confident that my house is built on The Rock!

But as I was reading this parable this time, HE revealed to me that the little cottage I have and been working on for some 31 years now is great. He reminded me that He is the Lrd of Lrds, the King of Kings, and Savior of the world. He asked me in what world, movie or book had I seen where I king lives in a little cottage. My answer, well none. His response was Kendall I, the King of Kings, am not satisfied in living in a little cottage. I will live in a palace...don't I deserve the best palace?

So let the construction begin! And man, it has been painful and eye opening. I have been really good at living out this part and that part of His Word. In the last couple of months, He has been showing me the areas of my life that He wants not only to fix the plumbing and the roof...but He has designed a beautiful west wing and 2nd floor that HE is going to put in for starters!

Here is where I am...under construction. Ask that I will continue to allow Him to gut out Kendall so that I can serve Him with reckless abandoment. Ask that I will look deeply in His Word for each blueprint and instruction on what t
