LIVE:LAUGH:LOVE:MISSION

Today was an excellent day. The Lord not only showed me how many people are so supportive, He showed me how to spread my love further just in the most simplistic ways.

He showed me how to pursue and be an example of "mission" just within my home town.

Before the BBQ started, we started off the day by reading 2 Timothy 4:1-8

I read this to my family because it spoke out of our purpose among this world.

In verse 5 it says: "But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry."

I thought this verse was so convicting of what the purpose of the bbq was for and of why I love mission so much and why I am traveling back to Mombasa. It is not just because I love the gracious people and beautiful countryside, but I absolutely love serving the Lord and evangelizing and being an example for Him. The Lord gives me this energy that is so indescribable but all I know is the Holy Spirit is working in me and it is such an amazing feeling to glorify the Lord through helping others. :)

So for the BBQ: we raised (drumroll)....

$900!!!!! it was so AMAZING!

and my family and friends have been so supportive and have helped out so much and I thank all of you!!

Also, in the end, we had alot of plates left over (cough cough 60 cough) but this is where I learned how important mission is here.

We went around to local gas stations and donated the rest of our extra BBQ plates. Instead of asking for any money, we just gave a wonderful meal out for free and to see the expressions on some of the peoples faces, well lets just say.. it has officially made my month!

They were just so blessed to know they had dinner for the night to feed their families and then would have lunch for tomorrow to bring to work again.

I just smiled because it was such a cool feeling to spread Gods love on all those people.

Well I hope everyone had a blessed weekend and I pray that everyone has a splendid week.

REMEMBER: if you are having a bad week, as my best friend Heather would say, "Let go and Let God", just let it all go and let God help you out. As I have learned from many of experiences, you cannot do it alone!

Mungu Akubariki! 

(God Bless you!)
