MADE IT TO NAIROBI

YEA!! I am proud to type my first blog posting from Nairobi. Good news we all made it here safely. Not good news- my luggage is not here :( Please pray that my suitcase with all my clothes and gifts for my World Vision children will be here in Kenya by Friday night. We are scheduled to leave for Safari at 5am on Saturday for 3 days. I'll be visiting my kids on the 22nd. So please pray that my bag will arrive by then!!!!

Standing in line in the Nairobi airport with huge tears in my eyes not because I don't have any clean underwear but for the sadness overwhelming my heart that I might not be able to give the kids all that I have that's just for them! I do have their backpacks and a few books. But I am missing the m&ms, clothes, books, baby dolls, and their toys (matchbox cars, balls, rubber ducky, etc.) I know that no matter what happens that God is in complete control.

I learned something from Emily's mom tonight- T.I.A (this is Africa) Things happen here like my missing luggage happen for a reason and it just reminds of our many blessing we do have and things we take for granted (like escalators in airports!)

Well its almost 1am here so I better get some sleep!!
