Many people have been in touch via email and have shared some really great things. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve prayed, I’ve been humbled. I have been blessed.
I would like to share some of those things with you now (one of the funny things is that video in the previous post that was sent by Dawno, it’s a riot!).
Lyrics from a worship song sent by Lauris: Oh the Lord is blessing me right now, oh right now (2X) He woke me up this morning and He started me on my way Oh the Lord is blessing me right now.
Scripture from Chris: Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10
Scripture from Hans and Henni: “When I feel hurt or brokenhearted, God binds up my wounds and cures my pain and sorrow” Psalm 147:3
Encouragement from Kathy: God is a Sovereign God and He will reign!
Joy and encouragement from Hans and Henni: Thank you for staying safe!
A blessing from Lauris: May he protect and bless you mightily this day
Reassurance and blessing from many: You have 100’s of people praying for you dear one!!
Encouragement from Holly: it’s wonderful to read your blog. very encouraging for this little revolutionary. keep fighting the good fight!
Laughter from Chinyere: Those sexy eyebrows!
Blessing and encouragement from Joni: You will always remember these days of difficulty but also of God’s nearness and goodness. May God richly bless you and your work! Hang in there and we are praying for you and all the people there that God would bring about His peace.
Welcome feelings of home from Deb: It was great to hear from you. Glad to hear you are doing okay and are safe.
One of the first things that I did upon arriving in Kenya was work with what we call a Discovery Tour. There were six participants from Canada and the US who were in Kenya and Uganda to learn about HIV/AIDS and our work here. It was great. I learned so much and was really touched and blessed to be a part of this trip. It is becoming an annual trip around October and I’m looking forward to the next trip already.
Liz was on the trip and has a blog about her journey here and back. This is one of her posts after her return to California. I encourage you to read the rest of her blog as well for some good insight into what is going on in Kenya and how a trip like this can shake up your world. It’s not just a vacation and there are repercussions that make you ‘never the same.’ It’s hard going back and forgetting and we pray that no one ever does. Liz is doing a great job showing how she desires to be a part of the change and that’s exciting.
This is too good not to share. God tells us in Scripture to make a joyful noise. I laughed so hard at this video that I cried. Much joy here!
