Tuesday

 Tuesday
Well, Tuesday was an adventure. One thing I haven't mentioned is the different schedule since the Kenyans are in Nakuru. We get to sleep in now, with breakfast at 8:30 and then we don't start till 9 (YAHOO!!). We were encouraged to still wake up and start quiet time at 7, and so I've been doing that with running so early anyway. So we start at 9, and we go over our quiet time packets we have, and then application of spiritual disciplines. We are going through a book called Celebration of Spiritual Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth by Richard Foster. It is really interesting, and really breaks down lifestyle choices and how we as Christians can choose to practice these spiritual disciplines to have spiritual growth.

AAnyway, it was cool to understand the first one, Meditation, and then the second one, prayer. We went over the biblical aspect of prayer, and then went into Mr. Foster's book. Tom asked us to start like we did in meditation, with worship and then meditating over scripture, and then to write a list of 20 people that we want to pray for, and next to their name write specifics to pray over. THEN, we added immediate family and did the same next to their names. THENNN we were to write out our prayers for all of these people, word for word. Later in discussion it was shown that this was to help us focus. When you pray in your head, it's hard to keep your mind in alignment with His. So this, though giving lots of hand cramps, was very helpful. It took about 6 pages of paper for me to write out all of my prayers, and I almost quit halfway through... but He urged me on when I asked if He wanted me to stop or not. That was awesome, and especially since 3 girls had come to Christ the day before, we all needed major spiritual preparation to go back and see these people who had just made the biggest decision of their lives. Heading to campus was great. One of the other interns let me go with her to visit two of the three girls who accepted Christ. They were so interested in what God was teaching them, and in just the process of being a Christian. It was cool to see the newness of Christ again :)

We left there, heard tons of stories of how God worked in conversations and headed home. When we got home, we were greeted with a delicious dinner of chicken pasta (aka pasta for me), and salad. Movie night was supposed to happen, but we all got caught up in talk of spiritual warfare and talk over the day's activities. It was a great night, and the Lord refreshed me and wiped away all insecurities before sleep. So cool to feel God so clearly!!

I will post about todays activities tonight :) so far it's a day of rest for us, and we are all excited!!!

Kwaheri,
