WOW!!! I just re-read my blog from almost exactly a year ago and alot sure has changed in 12 months. A couple things to update you on: 1) I sold my House! Last Christmas break....what an incredible weight off of my shoulders.
2) The dream that Rob and I had about going back to Kenya is coming true in the next 7 days. In exactly one week from this very moment, we will be sitting in Nairobi Kenya-likely exhausted from a whole day of travelling. Praise the Lord!
3) I just sold my car. Today! For those of you who know a bit about the struggle that it has been to sell it, you'll understand the signifigance. I love God's timing. Most of the time, this mystery drives me nuts and causes me to question things about His character...but its so worth it when you have days like today. When there is so much clarity to His great plan. As I was sitting on the greyhound bus coming back from Saskatoon I couldn't help but laugh and be flooded with joy as all the questions and doubts were answered. Only in this moment could I mentally engage with leaving for Kenya as I did. I sat on a beautiful bus with only 4 others. We pierced through the night stopping in random towns along the smooth, straight pavement. I tried to push my mind to imagine how different the bus ride will be from Nairobi to Kisumu in 8 days from now. It's going to be bumpier, smellier, louder and longer. No doubt it will be a bit warmer as well! I was able to sit there and praise His name for the unknown things in life. Because in time, they usually become revealed to us. Even if they don't, however, I know that I can trust in God. That He is faithful, and committed. Even when I am not.

I this moment I was able to revel in this wonderful mystery of His plan. As I wrote before, I don't need to see the whole picture. I just need to trust Him and walk in obedience to His good plan. Even when it doesn't seem to make sense or feel comfortable.

I was able to reflect on the incredible blessing that God has poured out on me in this past year. Honestly, there are too many to even begin to list; I was just overwhelmed by His generosity. Which causes me to want to bless others. Because I have been given much, I have much to be accountable for (Lk 12:48).
There are going to be many days in Kenya that I will miss my friends back home. I will miss my comfy bed and modern toilet. But I will take confidence that I am living in obedience to follow God's voice to join Him in kingdom building work in Africa. That I will become stronger and better for it. That I will grow in my relationship with Him and with others. There is no trade-off for that kind of result. It's not even about the result- it's about the journey!
So as we embark on this amazing dream that has come true, I want to invite you along with Rob and I. Follow our blog at http://www.inebuhando.blogspot.com/. I know that God is going to do amazing things in us- and hopefully through us as well. Be blessed in reading and partaking in this with us!
Peace.
