All in a days happenings…
House hunting day was to be quite the day and it was. As the day began I thought that today would have it’s challenges and it surely did.
I woke up at 5 this morning my mind racing. So I got up and did my devotions. I ready 4 chapters of Mark this morning and it drove me into tears the beautiful things God revealed to me changed my heart. I had read through mark many times but this experience was a sweet reminder of the newness of life we experience in Christ daily. Around 9 others began to stir and I became very aware of my love for nature as I spend the majority of the morning talking with God and gazing out on the beauty of His creation. The Germo’s are very blessed to have the home they have it is incredible and has the mot wonderful view from the upstairs living room window that is 15 ft wide.
I don’t think I have mentioned about the baby banana’s here in Kenya. They are tiny like perfect size for a toddler to eat and they are so much sweeter than the big boy’s we have in the US. Kez often eats them and always finishes. I think the US were missing out on these parents would kill to have such a perfect snack pre-wrapped by God in just to right size for their children. Hey! God could make a killing huh. Just joking of course but I think there great.
Do you remember the car? Yes, that car the one that broke down on Dan and I the first day I was in Kenya. Well the revenge was not sweet more smoky and annoying. After we had viewed two apartments and got stuck behind a massive parade Hannah, Nancy and the girls parted ways with us to get lunch while Dan, Graham, and I traveled to a birthday party that Graham was attending and then on to a fund raising event for FTT. Sure enough we overheated and then sat beside the road for an hour waiting for it to cool down and for Graham’s friends father to come fetch him from the side of the road. Smoky, ah yes I forgot we were stranded on a busy highway on an incline and here that means ever diesel vehicle is belching extra exhaust as it struggles up the hill. So yes my eye’s burned and I think I have successfully trained myself to hold my breath up to 2 minutes.
At day’s end we were all exhausted “no pun intended�, and sleep came early which is why this letter is ending.
