Love Affair

Hello from Kenya! This will be my last blog so here it goes…. Lately God has been teaching me so much about how he loves me. I am involved in such a love affair. For a long time, even though I knew God loved me I wouldn’t let myself be loved. I kept taking away the power of what God did through Jesus on the Cross. I constantly lived a life full of guilt. Everything I did: quiet times, scripture memorization, going to church, and bible studies, wasn’t because I understood that He deeply loves me. I always thought as long as I keep doing...

Week #6Sunday, October 24,20105:15am I would like to set up a little scenario for you if I may. The time is roughly 5:10am on a stormy Sunday morning. It is pitch black outside in the middle of Eastern Africa. I’m awakened to a loud CRASH and suddenly, I’m engulfed in water. I can see nothing. All I can feel is water everywhere and I’m paralyzed. No motion is physically possible. As my senses awaken from their peaceful slumber, all I know how to do is yell for help. My tentmate and dearest friend, Sarah, is nowhere to be seen (quite possibly because...

As our time here in Kenya is coming to an end, and I probably won’t be able to write another blog post, I thought I would end on a story that has truly changed the way I view God! A few weeks ago I met Amos, in the Bethany Kids wing of the hospital. I was handing out Chi and just kept going about my business. In the afternoon I was able to go back and visit with him and find out more about him. It turns out that he had broken his leg and the boarding school he was at didn’t tell his mom for about a month causing him to not be able to go and get it fixed. He said that he had to...

Reflections

Hello from Kenya, as the trip is quickly waning this will probably be one of my last blogs, so I guess I’ll just share how the my time in Kenya has gone. This was definitely the best thing I could have done this semester, it has been an incredible experience. I am sad that it is ending so soon, and that I will have to say goodbye to the friends I have made here, but I know God will be with all of us. The most convicting thing has been going to the IDP camp twice a week. The people have so little, they were forcefully displaced from their homes and sent to live in tents out in the...

Why have I stopped breathing?

Why have I stopped breathing? Sometimes God makes things happen that we don’t understand. I don’t know why little babies die after fighting for their life for nearly four months. I have no idea why He allows kids to be sick and in so much pain. It doesn’t make any sense. I don’t have all the answers, and I don’t think anyone does but God. I do know though that He loves us… He loves us so much. He gives the kids so much joy even though they may be suffering and it’s awesome to see their smiling faces! I...

Timothy=Superman

Timothy is Superman(just saying). I met him while we were visiting houses in the I.D.P.(Internally Displaced Persons) Camp. He is ten years old. The first thing I noticed was his big smile, not the braces on his legs or the crutches he was using to help get around. You see Timothy was born with clubbed(feet turned in) feet. The reason he was wearing the braces is because he had an operation to turn them outward so he could walk right. I must say since the first time I saw him three weeks ago, his feet have been healing so well! Each time I...
