Embracing everyday!

This is actually a really hard post for me to write but here we go...

These past 4 months in Kenya have been AMAZING! Ever since I got here God has opened so many doors for me in ministry. It has been unbelievable how much I have felt the favor of the Lord during my time here in Kenya. I know without a shadow of a doubt that I was called to come to Kenya these past few months. I have enjoyed the time here so much. Just the other day I was thinking to myself... 'I can't imagine going home right now, things are so great here in Kenya'. If I had it my way I would stay here... but I am not living for my own plans and purposes. I am trying to live a life submitted to Jesus Christ.

These past few weeks the Lord has been speaking to my heart that my time here in Kenya is coming to an end. He has confirmed His word over and over again through scripture and godly counsel in my life. I admit that my heart is a little broken to accept this truth that I need to leave Kenya. But God continues to tell me "Katie, trust me. Walk by faith and not by sight because I see things that you don't".

Even though this decision has been really hard, I do have peace with God. I desire to stay in Kenya but my desire to obey the Lord is even stronger.

So... I plan to leave Kenya this August. My departure date is still tentative right now but I expect to be back home by the 2nd week of August.

Believe me when I say that I am embracing everyday that I have left here in Kenya. I realize that everyday I have left is a gift from the Lord. But isn't that how we should view life no matter where we are at? Everyday is a gift from God and it is our choice of how we will embrace that gift.

God bless you all! I will keep the updates coming
