I arrived in Kimilili and have taken a while to get settled, more time than I expected.. However, the place just seems how I left it and the people are as lovely and as smiley and warm as ever. Somehow it's taking me a while to get used to living in Kenya.. I’m shocked myself that I’m here for a while, yet excited about what this year ahead will bring..
It’s lovely to wake up in the morning and see the blue sky outside. As I open my window and say "goodmorning" to the two little birds that are always sitting on my windowsill, it’s lovely and warm and each day I wonder what this day will hold, because to be quite honest, I have no idea myself.
‘’This is the day that the Lord has made, we shall rejoice and be glad in it…’’
It's funny I am so much more aware of the days passing here and the Kenyans really do see each day as a gift, never taking for granted that they will see tomorrow.
For those who pray please pray that I find my feet and adjust quickly and settle into the work that I have come to do.
Oh Jo, so lush to hear from you and know that you're ok.
ReplyDeleteI got completely lost in your blog and will follow you all the time. I nearly cried when you described how the boys reacted to you taking them out... beautiful!
I am also very happy that you have found the strength to keep going! I am always thinking of you! You're amazing! x
