God is good...all the time

We have had quite a day. It started at the church where our guides attend. That church was overflowing with the Holy Spirit. We were asked to stand up and say something to the congregation and the team asked me to do it. At first I wanted to say no, but its not about me. So I did, they called me to the stage and I had no idea what to say so I said a quick prayer that I would be a blessing to our team and the Kenyans and God answered that prayer in a mighty way.

Next we spent the day at Havilla children's home with 45 of the most amazing kids! All that they wanted from us was to be loved and held. Really it was that simple. At one point I stepped outside and David and Clay both had several children each in their lap. It was incredibly moving. I think I took more pictures than I have ever taken. I can hardly wait to see them again. I always say there are two universal languages love and Gods word and I had the incredible opportunity to see both in action today and it was priceless. We had chupatey - African tortilla it tasted like a pancake I really liked it. We also had ungali it was very interesting and bland.

We ended our time at Havilla with the children singing and dancing for us it was so moving. We were all moved beyond words and as Bridgette would say these are good tears. I was able to video most of the singing and dancing and can't wait to share it.

While the needs are great at Havilla the hearts are full, the joy is overflowing and the dreams are big.

As you pray for us please pray for those kids.

As far as our team goes everyone is well and we are getting to know each other a little better everyday. Humor is constant and many times I have laughed till I cried and cried till I laughed.

I am so overcome with gratitude this day for this trip and all that God has given me. As they say here in Kenya, God is good - all the time!



Until tomorrow -
