Awareness

The team has started our journey from Dallas/Fort Worth to Maua, Kenya.  We traveled through Dubai and encountered numerous security checkpoints.  We thought we were done with security checks when we started our drive to Maua only to get stopped three more times for random check points. All was good.  This made us acutely aware that we were in a different country and different set of rules.

Some of the things we became aware of was that some things don’t always go according to plan, however they are God’s plans.

Along the way we did get to chuckle as we encountered the uniqueness of God in the names of businesses along the way.  To share a few; God Comes Hair and Beauty Salon, God’s Favour Store, God’s Blessing General Store, God’s Mercy Car Wash, and Prince of Peace Auto.  Seeing this made us aware of how Kenyan’s feel it important to see and share God in all aspects of their lives.

We stopped for lunch at the Methodist Bio Intensive Farm to meet up with old and new friends. We learned a lot about the work they do with training individuals and groups on innovative ways to sustain their families and start a small business.

The sky was clear, and we got to see Mount Kenya with snow on the top in the middle of Kenya's summer.  Mount Kenya is by the Equator so one would think there would not be snow.  It is not everyday that one gets to see God’s majestic work.

We are reminded in Isaiah 55:9-11 which is asking awareness of God’s presence every day. We look forward to seeing God’s plan for us this week and the people we will encounter.

We hope you continue to check out our blog as we experience God through our awareness.
