I just spent a week at a summer conference with the 5C's on Catalina Island. It was amazing!
I feel as close to God as I am. A week of trying out different kinds of prayer probably does that to a person. We did some silence and solitude (one of my favorites, can you believe it?!), fasting and intercession, healing, listening, and delighting in the LORD. We also did some more traditional styles, such as compline (which, to my surprise, I loved!). We opened the day with prayer, we ended with prayer, with lots of prayer in between.
This past week God revealed to me the need for rest, and the silence and solitude are actually spiritual disciplines, along with having an unhurried life like Jesus. The best part about all of this - my summer in Kenya will be a perfect way to start! I've already mentionned some things about our sense of "time" verse most of the other world's. I am stoked to try out these practices, to embrace the rest God has for me in Kenya (which some might think sounds counter intuitive).
I can't even begin to sum up this past week well enough, but I can fill you in on some Kenya stuffs, the theme of this blog.
Money is still coming in, praise be to God! I am home, going to buy a few things tomorrow (the necessary bug repelant, a nice skirt for church, etc.) with my mommy. I'm trying to be patient and live in the moment, to be home with my family who I know I will miss so much in Kenya!
And finally... I feel at peace with whatever God has for me, here or there. This summer and next year. You know why? ... because GOD IS GOOD! :D
