In five short hours, we are off to Kenya.  Me and my three beautiful daughters, Shelby, Rachel and Ella.

We will spend the next nine days visiting children at the Missions of Hope School in Nairobi (MOHI).  The same schools we raised money for climbing Kilimanjaro.  16,000 children in the Mathare Valley slums go to school at MOHI.

What an adventure this will be!

I don’t exactly know why we are headed there but God has given me a deep love for the children of Africa.  And I believe once again God said “Go”.

Its not like an audible voice, I don’t actually hear the voice of God, but it would be super cool if I did!  It is this tug or nudge in my heart for me to step out.

The last time I returned from Kenya, Rachel emphatically stated, “You are not going to Africa again without me!”

Who knew it would be six months later.

I put limits on God.  I didn’t grow up believing in the supernatural power of God.  Burning bushes, staffs turning into snakes, building arks were just bible time stuff.  I used to think that people who believed in that hocus pocus, mumbo jumbo were just off.

I didn’t use my imagination in my faith or even believe the promise that God can do immeasurably more than we could ever hope, dream or imagine.  But God wants me to see…to really see.

It is hard for me to just trust God…and I question why and what He is asking of me.  Moses questioned his abilities even with God talking right to him, face to face.  And I think Noah woke up everyday building a boat for 120 years and thought…What in the world am I doing?

But they stepped out in Faith, anyway.

So here we go, with no real plan.  Stepping out in Faith, knowing that God will accomplish His Will, in His time and His way!
