Last night Allison, Jordan and I all met with Pastor Steve Rutenbar to discuss final preparations for our trip. As many of you already know, our trip has been shortened to 6 weeks, and I officially leave 1 week from today!
Time has gone by SO quickly, and I can't believe I'm leaving in 7 days! Reality is just now starting to sink in. Last night Pastor Steve said something that really resonated with me. He told us to remember that we are going to Kenya “to serve, not to solve." He shared that our job is not to fix problems or find a solution to the many heartbreaking situations that cross our path; but rather, to go with an attitude of servanthood.
We also talked about a disfigured animal sanctuary in Kenya (or something like that) with animals that have 3 eyes and 5 legs and some other crazy stuff, needless to say, we added this to our to-do list!
So, I’m super new at this whole “blog thing” so I’ll keep it short and sweet for now. But if you come across this, can you please pray for Jordan, Allison and I. Specifically, that we would unite and stay focused on where the Holy Spirit is guiding us, that God’s will would be done and not our own, that we would stay physically as well as spiritually healthy, and that I wouldn’t be homesick.
Thanks for all your love, support, encouragement and prayers!
