In September I will be a part of a team going to Kenya to live life for a few days with the workers and children at an orphanage there. I am sure there are things that I will experience that no picture or story from another person could prepare me enough not to be completely overwhelmed by the experience. I am very much looking forward to it. God has worked to bring about the opportunity, and I am loving watching Him work already.
The other day I went to the globe in the front office and spun it around to Kenya, I wanted to look at it, think about it, take it in. I was annoyed because the line of the equator on this globe is so big it covers names of countries and cities. Then it hit me. This country is on the equator! How did I miss that, why did I sign up for this, and who can I commission to make air conditioned clothing happen?
Clearly hyperbole rises again, but I didn't know it was an equatorial nation. I am amazed again at the change only the Spirit of God can bring about in a person. Never have I ever wanted to go near the equator...until now. God has been preparing me not just since I've decided to go, but before then. Whether it is having VBS be on the hottest days of the year or getting healthy so that I am able to handle heat better, all of it is working together. He is the champion tetris player. I am one piece, and He is making my piece fit with what He is doing over there, and that is so unbelievably awesome. Not way cool awesome, awe inspiring - awesome.
