It seems that this will be my last update from Kenya. It is bittersweet.
These past 2 months I have grown close to the leadership team, the Real Life team and made some amazing Kenyan friends. I know that I am leaving a piece of my heart here in Kenya.
This past week has been very challenging – spiritually, emotionally and physically. On Sunday I did not feel good, had a slight fever, but just rested and figured I would be better by Monday. The chain of events that followed were frustrating to say the least. I missed the entire week of ministry because on Tuesday morning at around 2 am I woke up and could not breathe! I was congested, but this was serious. My chest hurt and I was a little panicked! So later that morning I headed back to Nairobi hospital for the 3rd time since coming to Kenya. I saw a dr. I have seen before and he diagnosed me with bronchitis with asthmatic complications.
I have to be honest and tell you my first thought was thanks a lot God. What were you thinking!? But after picking up my numerous prescriptions I was in my apartment alone and had a great time talking to my Heavenly Father. I poured out my frustrations, fears and thoughts. I love that we are able to talk to God and He listens!
I spent some time reading some of my favorite Psalms and then through my favorite book Philippians. I love that my Father loves me enough to calm my heart.
