Off To The Airport

I cannot believe the trip is over... It went by so fast, yesterday literally feels like we just arrived in Kenya. But I guess time flies when you are having fun. Today is a very emotional day because I do not want to go home and have to say good by to Kenya :( Words cannot describe how much this trip has met to me it is by far the best experience of my life so far. I am so grateful to God to have been able to go on this trip and for my parents allowing me to go, it has been such an amazing time.  I am going home having learned so much and coming back with a new lens to look at life through.  I am going to miss all the people I met and all the memories I made, my mental scrapbook is very full of memories and my heart is filled with many new special relationships.  This trip has been my breath of fresh air after a very tough year. I struggled with a lot this year and everyday felt challenging so to come to Kenya and to feel so much positive energy from the culture and people it was very needed. The way I felt over this past month I haven't felt like that in a long time. Over this trip I finally felt like myself and happy again. I am so grateful to God to have been filled with so much joy. Looking back on all the things we did on this trip puts a smile on my face and I wish I could relive each moment.  This is a very emotional day because I hate good byes but I know for Kenya that it is just a see you later good bye because I know I will be back. Anyways this trip went beyond expectations and God worked greatly for healing my heart and regenerating my purpose. I hope everyone has enjoyed reading my blog and living through my trip with me! I will have a recap post when I get home about the reverse culture shock and how I am feeling. I will also continue to blog about other things if anyone wants to keep following it :) Pray for safe travels on the flight today and that my stomach does not hurt to much from the airplane food and that I do not cry too much in Toronto... OH and also that both my bags are less then 50lbs... lol

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you" declares the lord "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"

Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called
according to his purpose.

I'll See Ya,

Fadhili Trust

This week we have been spending our time at this organization called Fadhili Trust. This is an amazing organization which helps local communities and people who are in tough situations. They help people through village savings and loan associations ( type of micro-finance). They do this to help people create business and increase income. Our first day with them we had an introduction of the organization and then we visited a small private school. The visit was super fun because they stopped all the classes to meet us. Everyone was so welcoming and we were given the honour to talk with the students in their classes which was really cool because they had so many good questions about Canada.  After the school visit we went and had 2 home visits of 2 of the  beneficiaries of  Fadhili. The stories of the people we have met have been very emotional. The one lady we met lives by herself because Fadhili is supporting her kids to go to boarding school which takes a burden off her ...

Back At It

My goodness it has been awhile... I have not done a blog post since October... But my life has not been that exciting to write more blog posts lol. Anyways I am back and I hope to blog more! I want to strengthen my writing and express it on this blog.  I want to write about things going on in my life, adventures I go on, lists, future goals, advice and most importantly poetry. First I want to use this blog as a way to publish my poetry. Over the past few months I have been in a class called writers craft and it is given me the opportunity to write in many different styles and from this class I fell in love with poetry. Poetry is such beautiful way to express and to share how you feel. Poetry is an escape, a way to put words to feelings, a beautiful portrait of art. Poetry is a lifeline to me now and I cannot wait to show it here.  Although it will be nerve wracking to put my thoughts out in the open to others... art is art and it cannot be judged. Secondly: It's the s...
