"When the Spirit of God moves within us, we must move with Him or we'll be miserable." - Beth Moore
I believe that's how I got to this place. God placed on my heart the need for me to take a mission trip not just any mission trip but one that would entail me traveling some 8,000 miles away from my friends and family to Kenya. I wish I could say that the decision was an easy one considering God was involved but in actuality it was one that required a lot on my part - prayer, faith and trust. Something that continues to this very day - placing one foot in front of the other and not worrying about the tomorrow. Not to mention I knew without a shadow of doubt that if I didn't do this it would be something I would regret for the rest of my life. The time was now and God was wanting me to act.
For months now I have been toying with the idea of a blog. I had a blog a few years ago where I shared with family members who we didn't see much what was happening in our life. I really enjoyed keeping up with it, but as life would have it the girls got bigger and I got busier and the blog fell by the wayside. I few days ago I was having my quiet time when the blog idea came up...again. It occurred to me that I could use this as a means to share with you my personal experiences of how I got to this point, what is happening while I'm in Kenya and what I learned while I was there. I guess you could say a "before, during and after" of my mission trip. My hope is that you will learn something about yourself through my experiences and words. Maybe just maybe you will feel the Spirit of God move within you and you will move with Him.
So, I invite you to come along as we make the journey to Kenya....
