Wait, how is it already time to get on a plane in less than 48 hours and go to Kenya!
As some of you may know I lived abroad in South Africa for 4 months. When I was there I fell in love with the people. Their joy and love grew my heart so much. I knew that when I left the Lord would bring me back to Africa. How and where I did not know. Until...
One day I was sitting in church and it flashed across the screen that they were advertising mission trips. Then popped up the destination to Kenya. I just knew it was my time to go. I had no travel plans for the summer and I figured what better way than to go to serve others. Sometimes I just get overwhelmed by what God plans for me. If you were to ask me 10 years ago that I will be going on 3 mission trips by myself (not knowing others)I would have said ha! your joking. But here I am. On this trip, we will be working in schools, making home visits and giving out solar lights, putting on a woman conference for 500 local women, taking the kids on a safari, and going to help build homes in Turkana.
I am not going to lie I am having anxiety and nervousness about this trip. Will I be able to keep up? Will I make a difference? Am I bringing the right amount of clothes? Just so many kind of negative thoughts and I am just praying and trusting the Lord. I have done this before so why am I feeling all of this?
So here I ask you to just pray that the Lord will move mountains. He will keep us safe and healthy with open, loving hearts to serve the people in Kenya.
