So the summer has quickly come to an end and there are no words to describe the most incredible experience I have had so far. The Lord is good. He is faithful. The last month in Kenya was spent seeking the Lord and His heart for His people. The last weeks of camp many of the campers were hindu or came from a Muslim background. Many of the children believed they could follow more than one god. How do you confront a person who has been taught that their whole life. Is there an easy way? Do you just try to avoid the subject? No, you seek the Lord for guidance and wisdom to speak in love and in truth. I sought the Lord hard because at no time did I want to speak out of my flesh. The Lord proved himself faithful once again. The last week of camp I worked with the Kenya girls which are the oldest cabin. They were from the ages 15-18. What an amazing week! There were 13 girls. Let me tell you these campers were seeking truth because beginning the first night they asked deep questions. It was awesome because it made me think as well as see how the Lord works in you when you allow Him to use you. None of the kids in the cabin were strong believers. That was the last week in camp and it ended so well. I had many deep conversations with many girls and we talked about many different circumtances. It was good! The week after camp was over we stayed in Nairobi a few nights and then went to Hells Gate. Hells Gate is a National Park that has beautiful rock climbing sites and hiking. It was awesome! There were so many zebras, giraffes, and baboons! Then after a couple days there we headed to the Mosai Mara which is where we went on Safari. AMAZING!!! We saw Lions, Lionesses, Cheetahs, Baboons, Rhinos, Elephants, Zebras, Wildbeasts, Buffalo, Hippos, Alligators and I think thats it. It was great!
All in all, my summer was incredible. I was definately stretched and was able to see what really matters in life. I love Kenya and I hope to go back some day. I am excited to see where the Lord will lead me from here because I know everything that happens in our lives is a preparation for what the Lord has in store later. He is faithful and He loves His children. He wants the best for us. He is GOOD! As for now, the Lord has brought me back to America so this is where I need to be to serve Him. I want to thank all of you who have kept up with my blog and for investing in me. Thank you for supporting me and for praying for me faithfully! I would love to share more personal stories so if you would like to hear just ask away!
