My
heart is crying out for Kennedy, my fifteen year old friend who lives in the
streets of Nairobi and told me about getting beat up in the park in the middle
of the night and for the man Ryan talked to when we were getting our Visas for
Uganda, who felt like he had nothing else to live for. My heart is yelling for hope in
the darkest of places.

choose Victory! (thank you Passport Immersion for a never ending tune floating
around my head!)

I
received an email the other day from a lady I had invited to church in
Nairobi. She talked about what a
Godsend it was to now be involved in a community of believers! Truth is God is moving, He does move
and He will continue to move if I continue to move!

I
am shifting from “Perhaps the Lord will act on our behalf!” to “Spirit’s
moving, did that just happen?”

Oh but I am a vessel
rocked upon the waves
sometimes feeling as though
I am going to over turn

The journey is not easy
But the reward is worth it
When the Son rises in the
morning

So do I..
I don’t claim to know what
the ocean might hold

But I also don’t remain tied
to the dock

My
prayer today is that I experience the fullness of God in every way!
