My blog had a make over. Yay. I decided it's time for a make over in me, too. Today I had the blessing of listening to a Mark Driscoll sermon. He blesses me. The fact that I can stream video over the internet half way across the world blesses me too. I was really excited! My goal is to go through their series of the Gospel of Luke. So far, it's fabulous. What really grabbed me today? God makes different types of people. Yes, I already knew that. But those different people are so obviously portrayed in scripture, and we breeze right over their life lessons.
Paul wrote the most books in the new testament and traveled all over the world sending the message of God's hope to different nations and people, 13 or 14 books. Gentiles and Jews, anyone and everyone. Luke is the biggest book of the New Testament. Skipping over Luke is like eating all the outsides of all the Oreo crackers but leaving all the double-stuff fillings just sitting on the table. Paul followed Christ and Luke followed Paul. Luke helped those helping the poor. He assisted Paul into have one of the most effective ministries ever recorded in the back seat. Lesson: I am second. He was second, just like Christ was second.
Kenya is fabulous, but sometimes I need to realize I don't have all the answers. I want to be second, that's why I try to give so freely. Everyone here could use my help. Could use Agape's help, my Mama Agape's help, Chris & Tammy's help...you get it. Mzungu's just have physically more than Kenyans. It's a hard fact. But Helping Hurts. We have to hold back, we have to feed ourselves in a selfish way. One of my best friends always tells me that I can't keep giving if I don't start feeding myself. So I'm okay coming home and watching a House episode or taking a nap. I can't give forever, because there's only one person that can do that.
Check out my pictures, there is more change to come soon.
