Sometimes I wish I were like those people who blog everyday about really awesome and mind-blowing things... and then I think, 'do i really want to blow my mind that often?' and decide to write a short update :)
So, we only have a few weeks of school left for this term. I have so many papers to write... and I know they will get done with the strength and grace of God. Am taking African Church History, Bible and Moral Issues, Introduction to Missions and Folk Islam. Its been an interesting term. Some of my favorite topics/papers have been on: Polygamy, Secular/Gospel Music, missions in the church, charms in folk Islam and how to practically apply history to the church in Africa now.
I have continued in singing at Nairobi Chapel. Am helping with YUP (Youth with Unlimited Potential) on campus (holla!). Am walking beside three little girls from my church working on memory verses, talking bout life and helpin out were i can. Got a band going with some of my fav people- haven't come up wit a name yet, but we have lead worship for a conference and will lead worship at chapel and a praise and worship night soon! Speaking of conferences... helped out with/attended a conference on grace and forgiveness with Christi (www.awakencoaching.org)- was amazing... God did some great stuff in us all!!! Started my new Ecclesia group a few weeks ago and it rocks!!! (which means we just ended Plug-in... which was amazing- thank you worship team group! And the retreat was... WOW!) And just trying to build relationships with people in the area- I really pray that God leads me to people who can build me up and walk in the same direction... and I pray that I can be that for others as well!
Excited to visit Suvia Children's Home again in just a few weeks! Also, excited because I may be moving off campus- please be praying about that. And am lookin at car stuff?!? And my friend KJ is comin from the US to visit for two weeks! Furthermore, I am actually going to get to see my family this summer. We will meet up in Europe! Yea! Moreover (i like this connecting words) excited about stacey's wedding in about a month (am on line... for first time in life!)
I had a bunch of friends leave Kenya this past month and that has been a bit tough... but please be praying for them. Rachel (my twin) went back to Malawi because she has been sick for long... we pray she will be able to come back in a years time. Memory (my prayer partner) went back to Zimbabwe... she will be getting married in Dec. Hannah (my lil sis) went off to college in the US. Thandiwe (she informs me, i am her "new social life") traveled to the states for a summer internship. After graduation in July, more people will be leaving- so pray for them and pray for me at the same time.
Overall, life is good... am living and learning and living and learning... I just pray that God will continue to mold me and renew my mind each day that I may become more and more like Him in all I do. I praise Him for His grace and forgiveness that is constantly there especially when I do wrong, knowingly, unknowingly, towards Him and others.
