10, 9, 8.....

SO time is approaching and prayers are getting stronger, pressure is building and for me my mind is at ease and it is because I know how much God's hand is on this trip. The countdown is approaching with excitement like the beginning of a new year and in thinking this trip is like the countdown of a new year its like Dec. 31th and the clock is at 11:59 pm and there is 10 seconds left and the clock shows 10....9.......people in New York's time square are screaming....8...7....6....people in Paris at the Eiffel tower in anticipation .......5...4...3....2...1 and everyone around the world is excited because a new year has come and what does that mean THAT CHANGE HAS COME!! And thats how i feel about this trip that when we touch down on the grounds of Kenya that change has come for the orphans, the ones on the streets of the slums, the girls putting their lives back together from human trafficking but more important change has come for us who have come to bring change because as we become that light that shines for them they will definitely be the light that shines before us so that we may see their good works and glorify our father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16). I once heard it said that you should make more of an impact on your environment then your environment has on you but in this case i know that is impossible and thats why I'm excited. So i pray my heart is pure, so that i may see God in this trip (Matthew 5:8). I know we are making final plans for the departure and my prayer is that as long as we trust and as long as we commit to the lord in whatever we do our plans will succeed (Proverbs 16:3) and he shall direct our way (Proverbs 3:5-6). So i want to thank everyone for their prayers and has we go to Kenya as a team of 4 physically we go to Kenya as a team of hundreds spiritually.
