Life Changing Letters: IDP

Hello Friends! I apologize in advance by how scatterbrained and sloppy this blog is about to be. As always, internet time is limited so I’ll make this short sweet and to the point. I love Kenya!! The End. But really, this trip has been so amazing so far and it blows my mind to think that its only going to continue to get better. We’ve settled into our tent village in Kijabe after traveling for the first few weeks and are now starting to get involved in the hospitals and schools in the area. Basically, we go to the hospital on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and might teach at a...

And THIS is how you know you’re not in Destin anymore…

The biggest differences between Destin Florida and Kenya Africa…. *Roads: Hwy 98 traffic’s got NOTHIN on Kenya. The roads here are terrible.

Broken!

Hello from Kenya! It is only been two weeks and God is already rocking my world!  Though the funny thing is I experienced God most through a book and it occured on a "rest day" and not out on the field.  But God always talks to us through his plan and not ours.  I started reading Victory Over Darkness, written by Neil Anderson, once we landed in Kenya.  When I wrote about this blog I had only read the first three chapters and God had already began to break me down.  Now I have finished the book but I am only going to discuss the changes in me that took...

Sight to the Blind

In the deserts of the heartLet the healing fountain start,     In the prisons of his daysTeach the free men how to praise.-W. H. Auden Which is more liberating, seeing a 70-year-old man gain back his eye sight after 14 years of blindness or to watch the same man release all bitterness to the Father that created him?...
