i've found a love

So I need to blog… and it should most assuredly be about Kenya. But after two weeks of being home, camping in Catalina, and numerous job interviews, I still do not even know where to begin. I could tell you about the smells. I could try and describe the matatus. The challenges in working, or losing things. I could begin by telling you that before we left we were told to have no expectations of the trip except to expect God to show up (and God definitely did). I spent a lot of time learning and growing this trip. Maybe I will try to explain how I experienced love in Kenya.

Words will not do this justice, but I will try anyways. It was this love that I have never witnessed before in my life, loving with no boundaries. What a beautiful thing. They genuinely care about anyone and everyone. They will hold your hand always, they’ll walk you to the door, and then it is opened for you. When something goes wrong, they apologize for it regardless if it was their fault or not. A hug consists of a hug on the left, and then one on the right. My sweet friend Joseph explained, “Because a half of a hug just won’t do, you need both sides.” I learned from these beautiful people what it looks like to be the hands and feet of Jesus by loving our neighbors, and being a light by loving with no boundaries.
