We have a time of devotion each evening after dinner.  Sharing in scripture, and comments, or story which adds meaning to the underlying message.

Today's meditation from the Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo says:  "Of all the things that exist, can we not breathe and wake and turn it all into song?  For as long as we sing, the pain of our world cannot claim our lives or our faith."

That is never more evident than in the spirit of the Kenyan people.  We have seen their lack of self pity, only finding in their offerings and praises an exultation to God for what they have received, or what they do have.

We each carry within us the events of the week, but we are thankful for our time in the Samburu Game Preserve.  As we reminisce about our week and 'decompress' we are surrounded by a different environment.  Imagine, if you can, attempts to sustain your families food supply and livestock with limited water.

We are reminded of the omnipotence of God in His plan for creation. The animals from large to small  co-existing in a sometimes desolate environment.  Then finding pockets of water with thick green foliage.

We will depart tomorrow for our last day of service in the Meru area at the Bio Intensive Farm.  We have witnessed God's faithfulness in our preparation, journey, and the people we greet.  We pray, and continue to covet your prayers as we begin to prepare for our departure.

May we continue to hear God's call and may all our answers become Here I Am, send me.
