Ok! Today is supposed to be quite a day! We are going back to treeside school for the mentally handicapped, then we are going to play field hockey with the group we played with last week, thennn we have girl/guy bible study!
*update* field hockey was canceled since the girls have tests right now. *update*
So today will be full. I am really struggling with motivation and just energy in general. Physically I feel fine, I could go for a run!! But I feel lazy and I think Satan is attacking me in that. I need prayers for an active mindset!! Also I am slightly discouraged. Coming from A&M there is TONS of radical stuff going on!! And I almost feel ashamed to talk about them because Satan tells me that everyone thinks im making it up, or just trying to impress people. For example, today I talked about a guy at A&M who was participating in a thing called the 'Daniel Fast'. He did it for 50 days, but without any food or water. When I said this it was IMMEDIATELY rejected and mocked under the breath of several people here to do ministry about His miracles. It's ironic, but I understand the feelings of doubt. Believe it or not, but with God nothing's impossible. Fasting is great! It is used so that when you crave food you pray.. But another way is to see how the Lord sustains you. That's the thing I find amazing that people don't believe. Jesus can put nutrients in your body that you don't consume. He put an embryo in a virgin, He takes brain tumors and destroys them, He takes skin conditions and heals them, He repairs lost limbs, eyesight, hearing... He does all of that... What is so shocking about Him giving us what we need nutritionally?? I am frustrated not only at the lack of faith in people, but the fact that I myself still struggle with it even when I experienced it first hand.
Anyway, I am going to contact this guy and get his side of the story. Be looking for another post added to this one tonight!
Kwaheri!

So today was great! I love how I'm constantly not feeling energized but as soon as I get to the ministry place we are going to, I am charged. I can feel the prayers you guys are sending my way!! As for the fasting stuff, I still haven't heard back from Jeff. I'll keep you posted. But I had several cool conversations with girls here today. Mary Beth singled me out and was intentional and it really turned my day around. And I got to talk with Alyssa about the fasting thing and that was super encouraging. Jesus took discouragement and turned it into encouragement. Whoop!! So we went back to Treeside like I said above. It was really fun today :) we arrived there at around 2, and left at around 5ish. It was a wonderful time of growing relationships with the kids, and playing volleyball and frisbee. It was REAL fun. Not sit in a room and sing songs fun, but interacting with kids who see the sky as the limit. I am now excited to go back more than ever to continue having fun with these loving kids!! We took tons of photos, here is the link :)

So God works in awesome ways. Tomorrow we are moving into the Stickneys new home. They have been renting in the compound we are in now, but tomorrow night we will be in a really nice area (US Embassy recommends it) in a HOME with electricity and a huge yard... it's gonna be awesome. But, I must say, I'm going to miss the compound. It's really big, open, and pretty. I've set up my little area and all. But God wants us at the house so we will enjoy the time in the compound and the time at the house. So it will be a day of classes, then moving, and just bonding :) :) This weekend: Nakuru!!
Kwaheri!
