AFRICA TRIP, Day 12

Wednesday, August 20, 2008

Today I am thankful for:

• A safe arrival back to Arusha from Nairobi this evening.
• The opportunity to spend the evening at Mama Happiness’ home, with some team members and her kiddos. It was so inspiring to hear her stories and see how the power of prayer has impacted her and others. So much to the point that her little girl, Gloria, who is now 3 or 4 years old, went from extreme sickness to being totally healed. As a baby, Gloria had severe meningitis, and then a stroke, which left her paralyzed. God has allowed her to walk again, and be a developmentally healthy little girl!
• I have so much to be thankful for – and cannot even begin to count my blessings and God-given gifts.
• Richelle is feeling better!

Today I lift up:

• The people in Kibera.
• The health of the team: Bethany and Pat in particular.
• My health, as I’m losing steam and beginning to feel pretty sick (muscle aches/weakness, cold symptoms).
• The desire to come back here with Davey next year.
