Encouragement

Yesterday I was feeling so discouraged. I was feeling frustrated and sensitive towards Moraa because of her financial situation. I was worried she wasn't happy with the work I've been doing because I can't hand her a wallet full of money.

I could barely go to work today. Now, I see that this is the Devil's 4th attempt to keep me away from Moraa.

Attempt 1: Robbery
Solution 1: BHBC, my friends, my community, and my family praying for me and contacting me continually with support (even when I didn't have a phone they found my host mom's cell phone ((no idea how!)) to call me).

Attempt 2: Sickness
Solution 2: A new volunteer coming and giving me medicine as well as a sensitive host mom who stopped cooking food with fiber (haha).

Attempt 3: Alergic Reaction to Mangoes
Solution 3: Medical Missionaries show up at Moraa's and provide me benedrill

Attempt 4: Feeding me subconscious lies of inadequacy
Solution 4: God speaking to me through Morra's voice. She is such an encouragement to me. I really do love her. I wish I could do everything possible for her and those kids.

Good Luck Devil, GOD is on my side. He works all things together for good for those who love him! And fyi: that's me.

Also, those of you praying for me to not be so lonely... it worked! Now, there are 4 more girls in my appt and Jack is getting kicked out! YAY! One of the girl's is working with me at the orphanage and the other girls are working at an HIV clinic in Ngong. so fun! We are all about the same age and temperament too. Such a blessing!

My last week I was hoping to spend it with the Hovings from BHBC, but they are already having visitors. I would like to see more of the country, so I think I'm going to go to Mombasa Sun- Thursday next week. Mombasa is the touristy part of Kenya, but it would be nice to see the ocean and I can still work at an orphanage or a school. :)

I also think I need an emotional break from the constant stress of this trip. Maybe a change of scenery will help me prepare to come home without tons of stress.
