Refreshed

Last night marked my one month of being in Kenya. It was a good month, although it definitely brought its struggles. I feel at times, that I started off on the wrong foot here. I've been comparing things to home a little too much, and feeling a bit upset when people do things differently than what I'm used to. I need to embrace the fact that I'm a far ways from home, and things will be different! That includes many things such as going out all the time. I'm so used to being busy all the time, staying out late, constantly socializing, and stuff like that. Its not like that here though... we're in the middle of the bush! haha. I know God brought me here, so I'd take more time for Him. He took me out of my busy schedule, and is allowing me to see beauty in simplicity. This past weekend was really good for me. I kept to myself for the most part, and spent a lot of quiet time with God. He made a lot of things clear for me, and filled me with so much peace and joy. We had monday morning worship with the entire base earlier today, and it was such a good start to the week. The speaker was talking about how its time for us to mature in our faith. God wants to take us to the next level. I feel thats exactly where I am right now. It's time for me to step out more. Go beyond what I've been doing. So... thats what I've been challenged in, now its time to live it out. I need to stop expecting to be served, and ministered to all the time, but rather do that for others as well!
