Life has been moving in the fast lane since school ended. You may be aware from my previous posts that I am going to be spending the summer in Nairobi, Kenya. There is a lot to accomplish before I leave for my big adventure... in eight days!
I have been spending these past two weeks in preparation mode. So far I have successfully gotten all of my required immunizations. I have also bought gifts for my host missionaries, my national families, and my language assistants. In addition, I have a big pile of toys, games, and candy for the children in Nairobi. Yesterday I took care of my banking information to make sure I could use my Visa card in the city. Today I had a paper notarized with instructions regarding my remains should I pass away on my trip. There are still some details I need address before next Wednesday.
Other than preparing logistically for leaving, I have been spending a lot of time preparing my heart for Kenya. I realized when I got home from school that I was not at peace about my trip yet. Therefore, I have been meditating on peace daily. Like it says in Ephesians 6, I have been putting on the shoes of peace. Already I feel myself gaining immense peace about this summer.
I am not sure how consistently I will be able to post on here this summer because of the limited internet access I will have in Nairobi, but I can offer some glimpses of what preparation looks like for me. This is the beginning of just one pile of things going to Kenya. The piles are growing, kind of like my peace.
