I can't believe I have the opportunity to do this!

Hey Family and friends! Today has been one of my favorite days in Kenya out of my three trips that I’ve taken! The Lord truly used EVERY member of our team today each in a unique important way. Today was the first day of our school visits-which is what we spent so much time practicing for back home. The first school we went to was an all girl’s school where I had the responsibility of speaking. I was pretty well prepared so I wasn’t feeling nervous until we walked into the room. All the sudden I allowed the Devil to enter in and instantly discourage me. I became so nervous and just wanted to tell Mike that there was no way I could do this and maybe Ms. Jo should speak. The service began with worship, then our music, and our skit. Then it became time for me to step on stage and deliver the word God laid on my heart. After I prayed the Holy Spirit COMPLETELY took over. I no longer felt anxious, worried, and scared. At the end of my talk I gave all the girls the opportunity to raise their hands if they wanted Christ to come into their lives. Close to 30 girls walked outside to pray with all the Landmark students. My favorite part of the day was walking outside seeing groups crowded around each and every one of my friends hearing the word of God and accepting it into their lives, all because I was obedient to the call Christ placed in my life. Tonight at share time I shared this moment of my day through tears of joy. Today I experienced a moment that I feel was a glimpse into my future and the plan God has for my life. It was a moment where I thought, “Wow! I can’t believe I have the opportunity to do this. I can’t believe I was chosen.” I pray that feeling will never leave when I am walking in the will of God.
Thank you so much for your prayers because we are experiencing so many wonderful blessings. All of your children will have countless stories to tell you when they get home! Continue to keep us in your prayers!
