Hi everyone, it's me!

I must apologize for not writing sooner. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Between re-learning how to make decisions on my own and re-connecting with my family, there hasn't been much time to reflect. But that's no excuse. Here's my attempt to express myself, which I'm also having a hard time doing. God is good though, and He always helps me cope.

This has been quite an experience. The world has changed a lot. But one thing is still the same-how much importance people put on the things in this world. I definitely used to take things for granted. After being gone so long and now returning, I have a hard time understanding why I wanted to leave so bad. My family is so awesome and forgiving. Ya'll have been incredible support. Thanks for your prayers, your letters, and helping me through what was hopefully the most difficult experience of my life.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come."
2 Corinthians 5:17

Hi Stacey,

Good for u to be back with your family. Yes the world has changed and yet it hasn't. The experience was difficult for u however look at the relationship u developed with Christ as a result, which u may not have been able to do because of all the distractions in your life.

Now you have done your wilderness experience and have been delivered out of the desert, hopefully in the Land of Milk and Honey. U have many more opportunities and it is such an amazing time now because miracles are occuring, more and more, prayers being answered, messages delivered and there is a lot of work to do, it's harvest time...May u be totally awesome for Christ....

We r also going through our wilderness experience and now the Lord has delivered someone that will help us be able to tolerate being in the world. The lord delivered us into this situation for a reason, I am grateful because of the relationship and foundation he has given to Dylan and I, however it is really difficult and challenging....However we have a new hope because God will never let us down, he takes care of us and will always provide for us and our faith is unshakeable..... and our love for him just deepens everyday.....

May your life be truly blessed,

Love and blessings in the Lord,

Serenity

Stacey,

It is so good to have you back home where you belong and where you are needed! I hope that you realize how much this is your place for now, and hopefully for a very long time. I know it must be somewhat of a cultural shock to find how things have changed, but you have been able to cope remarkably well and I have no doubt you will continue to.

Our God is such an awesome God and it is wonderful that His Presence is so evident in your family. In some ways my prayers for you will not change as you continue to forge ahead with your life in Him and being the great help I know you will be to your Dad in this ministry. When we are faithful in the small things He rewards us by giving us even greater ways to serve Him. I believe you will find this to be true in your life.

Our God is such a God of power and majesty, Who moves mountains and commands the seas to be still. His voice thunders to be heard, yet also comes as a gentle whisper. I am grateful that He chose to move His hand on your behalf to bring you home. My prayer is that you will listen for His voice in the quiet times where He will continue to show you how to walk with Him daily and you will continue to be the inspiration you are.

God bless your every day,

Chelki
