Heyy all.
well if i havnt emailed you today i apolgize you see...in the morning when i came to email...my computer was all messed up so i dont even know if all the emails i sent worked.but then i went to a home for street kids..to visit them its like an hours drive from PAC so i didnt get a chance to come and re-send all the emails. But anyways! as for my day....well i went to this home..for street kids. so these are kids from ages 10-21 all rescued from the streets of nairobi and kisumu and places around here. It really touched my heart to spend the afternoon with them. they are the sweetest kids i have ever met. I was talking with this one guy named martin. he is 14....he was such a sweetie. we talked alot...and he told me about all the things he has been blessed with...how God rescued him from the streets and gave him this home to live in...with al lthese other kids..and where he can go to school and learn about god...he leads the worship at this home..he has such a beautiful voice. And such a love for God. he was telling me how he used to think that he had nothing...and that even now what he has...to me might not seem like much. But he said..i have God...he saved my life...he gave me this place to live..this family and i am forever thankful to him..... and i know that the things i will face in life might not be easy..money comes very rarely...for this home..but he knows that God has provided all he needs this far....and that God is going to take care of him forever and a day. It blew my mind..to hear about what he went through...what he still goes through..i saw how he lived..and then i saw him....totally in love with life..with God....trusting and believing that God his creator and maker would never let him go. it left me speechless.....i am still in total amazment.....this boy changed my life. he showed me...who has "everything" compared to him that with God..life is never to bad..never to big..never too hard. that nothing i have will ever be too little...or too much..because everything in this world could fall away from me..and if i still had God in my heart...none of that would matter. It totally changed my heart around. its amazing what you see here..and how even these people and children..my age..who have nothing..have so much joy. and love. its amazing. i mean i went to this home today..thinking i would impact their lives..but in the end..it was them who changed mine.
So next time i feel like everything is going wrong..like life is hard...i will think of martin...i will think of the constant and overflowing joy and love for God that he had..and i will know that that is all i need....God will bring me through anything anytime..anywhere.
God is just soo good!!
