I'm getting the last ends tied up to head out to Kenya this Wednesday. NO, I'm not packed; everyone keeps asking me that! I'm only taking a carry on and a backpack. I'm also taking the same dirt colored clothing I took two years ago. Oh, and this really sweet baby doll for a little girl my family sponsors. Really, the hardest thing about packing is the < 3 oz. & 1 quart sized bag thing.
The other difficult thing is one of our team members & my friend probably won't be able to come because he's so sick. That impacts our team quite a bit since he was going to be the techie & photog. Our challenges keep mounting: power rationing, drought, recent violence.
One thing remains unchanged...Our Heavenly Father. He does not shift like the sand (or Kenyan dust!). He remains steadfast in His constant care and love for us, especially when the challenges increase. Life is tough, but God IS Faithful!
Pray for our checked baggage filled with medical supplies, clothing & shoes, to make it through Kenyan customs without causing hefty bribes to be requested. Pray for the health & safety of our team: Linda, Karen, Shani, Sue, Rockie & me. Pray for wholeness & healing for Kirk.
