A journal entry, that is far too true not to share….

Kenya.
Five months, five countries into the Race. Crazy to imagine and even fathom the one place I couldn’t even envision in my mind is actually where I am present day. And I’m in love. Africa reminds me so much of my sweet and beautiful Haiti and I pray it captures my heart the same way Haiti did. There is something about this place, this country that is so different from the rest. I feel like Kenya and the next three months is going to be such a sweet time of renewal and discovery for our team and myself. Everything from the sweet declaration of freedom, to the joyful baptism to our sweet time of worship is soaked with excitement and joy. And I know this season will be different, this season will be great. I want this season to be a time where I seek with all I have. Where I discover more of who the Lord says I am. Where I grow. Where I accept change. Where I humble myself, swallow my pride. Where I finally grow up and become a woman of God. Where I step out in boldness. Where I use the voice that is given to me to bring life and joy. I become a fighter, a warrior for the kingdom. Where I find intimacy with the father and listen to the things that He’s whispering into my ear. This the time, this is the place. The harvest is ready. This is Africa.
