Day 161 - Vase (Give)

The night before Easter, our friend Beka came down from Greenwood to spend the evening with us.  Melissa made a great meal and Beka stuck around to enjoy the spectacle of our kids dyeing Easter eggs. 

Beka is a stateside missionary with OMS who lives very simply, in a plain one-bedroom apartment (with the tiniest kitchen you've ever seen!).   She is transitioning this week to a new position within OMS and our prayers are with her - she started out in journalism and is now starting work within the mobilization department.  This means she'll be helping to recruit potential missionaries and then supporting them in getting to the field.  She'll do wonderfully!  I am certain God will be able to use her talents and abilities to impact the Kingdom in profound ways. 

Recently, Melissa learned that when Beka returned from a trip to Africa a few weeks back, a friend of hers presented her with flowers - but Beka had nothing to put them in but a plastic cup.  So Melissa wanted to send a vase home with Beka.  Like I said, Beka lives without a lot of frills, so it's a real privilege to be able to give her something decorative for her apartment.  Now she just needs some more flowers...
