I am on the eve of my last full day in Kenya! I can't believe this journey is about to end! End in the physical realm, but not in the mental realm. I was asked today what my favorite experience has been and it took me several minutes to express my thoughts. My thoughts are all over the place, from seeing all of the children lined up as we enter the school, to the worship services at Maasai Corner, to the lush landscapes at south beach...to the smiling faces of the children as you hug them! I truly think I will have to have several days to decompress before I can make a rational response. Second question; why should someone go on a mission trip....duh! A mission trip will forever change a life, but that sounds so altruistic...all mushy but it is true. I saw things I have never seen before as well as experienced emotions I have never felt! I live in a country were we have three or four of everything and we are still not satisfied me included! In Kenya daily survival is a constant concern for many people. How can we as a "Christian" nation spend so much time and money on stuff we don't need.
My experiences here have forever changed me, yet I'm not sure how....I know that sounds crazy but I must have time to process it all. Once again I am reminded that if much is given much is expected! God has richly blessed ,me and I have all I need and then some. Still don't know where all this will lead, but I know God will reveal when the time is right.
