  Worry implies that we don’t quite trust that God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what’s happening in our lives. Stress says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, or our tight grip of control. Both worry and stress reek of arrogance. Pride… man, I’m full of it. I often forget that I’ve been forgiven, that my life here is brief, that I’m headed to a place where I won’t be lonely, afraid, or hurt ever again. In the context of...

Jinalongu ni Justin Williams.  I am 18 years old and currently a missionary based out of Nairobi, Kenya.  I have been blessed with the opportunity to do God’s work here for one month already and I still have about one month to go.  This is my first real mission trip but not my last.  When I return to the states after my mission here is done I will be attending Sam Houston State University where I am a Mass Communication major, Sociology minor.  This is the degree I am working on for one reason; the Lord has called me to start a magazine and mission...

I have decided fasting got its name either because when people are fasting they want it to go by FAST or because when it is finally over you eat everything you see really FAST.    A few weeks ago our leaders decided the group needed to fast.  Our meals consisted of one slice of bread with butter or jelly for breakfast and one slice of bread with peanut butter for lunch.  I was already hungry all the time because the portions were so small that lessening our food intake angered my flesh.  Our group fed  (no pun intended) off each other’s negativity and I...

This is what I’ve been learning through our fast from one full meal a day, no spending personal money, and no communication except through the blog. This fast helped me pray more, but it wasn’t extremely challenging for me, cuz I think I’m in my element. Since it was much harder for some other members of my team, I tried to let them use the internet for their blogs before me. With my luck, I was the one who found out that we had no more internet on our account cuz all our credits were used up already. So, I’ve been waiting, along with a few others, to write a...

Friday, I had a headache (this sounds funky but I got a headache from how I did my hair that day) while I was on the bus. We where on the bus, traveling to Kibera to play with some kids. (NOTE: Kibera is the largest slumb in Kenya, the second largest in Africa.)...
