It kind of changes things when you go to the place you are going to call home at some point in the future. Medida was different this time. I had new eyes, and I was absorbing the environment as much as possible. The smells, the scenery, and most of all, the people.
Seeing old friends that I’ve taken pictures with, in the past, and making new friends, but most of all hoping that the love of God would shine through me.
They say home is where the heart is, and my heart is most definitely in Kenya. Having out last distribution today was half relief and half sadness. The relief was that all the running around is over. The sadness is that the trip is almost over. In two short days, I’ll be leaving the orphanage.
Today Patric and Mercyline told me that this time it felt like their sister was coming back to see them. That’s exactly how it felt to me. I was going to see my family. Having the assurance that I will come back someday makes leaving so much easier… but it’s still hard.
God bless this land. Bless your people.❤️
