The team of thirty that I have had the privilege of walking
with these last 10 days departed last night.
I still feel like this team was different from any other team I have
led.
The participants were from the ages of 16-49.
One of my favorite things to do was just
watch the beautiful, eldest woman interact with Kenyans.
Almost all the Kenyans called her mama and
even asked if she could be their spiritual mom.
We spent the beginning of the week in Kibera working at our
school and visiting an AIDS baby orphanage.
After this we headed out into the bush and spent some time with a Masai
tribe in the Rift Valley.
I was able to
visit this said town when I came in April.
It was great to go back and see familiar faces.
Amy Carmichael said, “But I shall ask that the greater the
difficulty, the more abundant the supply of love may be, so that you will love
your way through all, prove conquering power of love-eternal love.”
Throughout this week, while listening to this team of 30 and
to the Kenyans, I was reminded that everyone really does have a story to tell
and some of the moments I have treasured this past week were just
listening.
And how while listening,
realizing, that the Lord truly does supply love to conquer all situations.
At one point during the week I was not feeling so well, I
was super frustrated about that.
The
Lord reminded me that “He has sent forth strength for our day’s life, so we
will go forth into our day in the strength of the Lord.”
And am still learning even more to tap into
the Lord’s strength.
Before I left for
Kenya, my liver was inflamed and I
was having reoccurring fevers once again.
I was put on new TB medicine and my body did not like that one
either.
(I think it is because the TB
has left my system!
J )
Please
continue praying for my health.
It has
been wonderful the last week to finally feel whole and healthy.
With the team leaving, the schedule slows down quite a bit
with is rad.
I enjoy just being here and
really being with people.
There is quite
a bit of things to take care of to close up the base for the summer.
Today we cleaned out the houses just a bit.
I still have not seen my Muslim friend.
I am praying to run into her.
Since her marriage, she has not been out
much.
Please pray that we can find each
other and that Jesus’ love would find a way into her heart.
While being here, I feel a certain release from the Lord to
really press into Christ for direction.
I haven’t prayed in a long time for specific direction, and my heart and
head feel ready to finally receive that. I do feel like some for of change is
going to happen in January.
I fear
sharing that, but we will see what the Lord does.
Thank you for all your prayers.
Please keep me informed so I can be praying
for you all.
