July 7, Grateful


This is a post that I wrote on July 7th, sorry I have been unable to post blogs until now...

Well we are in Kenya…it is even more beautiful than I remembered it to be. God truly outdid himself when he created this country. I love walking down the red dirt paths while being surrounded by the lush green tree’s surrounding me. To see all those beautiful shinning faces around me both American and African alike, I love the smells, and the way my heart breaks continually for all unfairness around me. I just love my life, thank you Lord.

Often I will be asked what I do as a leader, well I have the best job. This trip I get to disciple fourteen students in the Lord, I get to teach them about all the joys and heartache there is in the world. I also get to travel to Kenya Africa a place of dreams for so many, I get to hold broken hurting children, I get to give them hugs and pray for them, I get to make them laugh. Strangely even better than my being able to hold those beautiful African children is watching my students love those children. Watching their hearts break is one of the greatest gifts the Lord has ever given me, because I know that their lives are forever being changed. They will never be able to walk away and forget those little hands, or runny noses, those swollen bellies and big smiles.  I believe the Lord will use to push them and shape them into world changers, that can and will make a difference. How is this my life. How am I so blessed. Thank you Jesus
