About 8 hours and counting until our flight is scheduled to leave Wichita enroute to the Mathare Valley, Niarobi, Kenya, Africa. I can't believe it has been 5 months since I said yes to going on this trip. In the midst of pain and sorrow I found a calling to extend myself for the sake of others regardless of cost to me. I am trusting that my going will be an encouragement and help to others.
This holiday weekend has been a time of reflection over the many blessings I enjoy. Friends, family, 3 meals a day, shelter that keeps me warm/cool/safe, and the ability to freely express my ideas. I will be working with kids and their teachers who have far less resources than we, yet somehow I wonder if we will have much more in common that I might have once thought?
I hope to have time and internet connection availability to share my journey with you in the upcoming days. Stay tuned.
