Happy New Year!

Well, it's 2010! I can't believe it's a new year already! Since I've blogged last, I've had alot to happen. I had the opportunity to go to Kenya with Newspring. I could write blog after blog about the trip and what I learned while on the trip. I'm going to do some bullet points of what I learned. And then I will post a few pics from the trip.

-It's all in God's timing & you'll get there when you get there. After a chunk of tire missing, a flight missed, being sent to Dubai instead of Paris, a blown tire, a truck impounded & many more obstacles. It doesn't matter what "schedule" we intend to keep, God has his own schedule for us. It was awesome to see Him move and take us places we would've never gone.

-Our God is so much bigger than we give Him credit! It's amazing at how each of us was placed where He wanted us. If I tried to live where I visited for 10 days, I wouldn't survive. I never saw the kenyans eat food or drink water. And we make food a god by eating 3 meals a day. He equipped them so that they wouldn't burn in the sun. That just blows my mind!!! And even the giraffe have antiseptic in their tongues so that when they eat the ant balls off the trees that are surrounded by thorns, their tongues immediately heal.

-If we allow God to work through us, anything is possible! I'm so not a foot person. I can't stand for someone to touch my feet or to touch anyone else's feet. I was on the jigger removal team. We washed feet with soap, soaked them in a solution, & rubbed them down with vasaline. If I had done this on my own, I would have never touched their feet!!!

These are just a few things that I learned while in Kenya. My next post is a wordless journal post.....stay continued!
