So, as I earlier posted, we have been waiting to be rerouted due to the Ebola Virus outbreak in Uganda. Well, we found out last night that we are not being rerouted but instead staying in Kenya for 3 more weeks.
I'm going to be honest by saying I was extremely upset at first…
*I mentally checked out of this ministry last week
*The last few days of ministry here wore.me.out.
*I'm excited to see a new country
*Ready to begin a different ministry
*Stoked about new relationships
*It's 11 in 11, not 10 in 11
*I haven't spent more than 1 month anywhere since last December
*Feelin' antsy and ready to move on
Irritated and upset I got online last night and found this email from Peter, our contact here in Kenya…
Hi Jennifer,woou our prayers God has made it.Thanks so much to axcept what the lord has said to remain with us.It is hard to separate you from our family because really God has united us together.Thanks so much to say yes lord.peter.
How can I be upset with that?!?! He loves us so much and is so excited to have us stay longer. Himself, his wife, and 5 children have moved out of their home into a 1 room shack so we could live in their house. And when they find out we are staying for another 3 weeks they are excited! And say it's answered prayers! I truly feel blessed!
Yes it is hard when I don't understand God's ways but one thing I do know… He ALWAYS has a plan and a purpose whether I see it or not! Yet again, I place my life in His hands and say "God, I know you got this!"
Also, our teammate Kelly will be joining us tomorrow! She was sick with Malaria and had to return home for the past month. I'm so stoked to have our team all together again!
Please keep my team in prayer as we begin Month 8 in the same place we were for month 7. Even though we are physically not moving, pray that we will move more spiritually than ever before! God has a reason for keeping us here, I'm excited to see what happens! 🙂
