Hi Everyone!
I'm back at school and things feel "up-in-the-air" again... a feeling I encounter too frequently. This is my life story: I know what is happening today, but ask me about tomorrow or two months from now and I have no idea. Even if I think I have future plans, they are only a temporary comfort cause they end up changing anyways. haha.
At the present moment things feel up in the air because I am not in the self-catering dorm I booked for (should be at least another week), I am working on finding a new internship that is closer to Athi River (the one in Nairobi was just too far), I am deciding classes, and I am trying to decide what I'll do after the semester ends in May and when I'll come home. Sometimes I feel like an adult trying to decipher what I should be doing, then I remember that technically age eighteen is adulthood. What does that make me? A one-year-old adult? Sounds ill-equipped to me. haha.
Anyways, I guess I'm used to this "I'll never know the future" idea, but it isn't exactly the easiest way to live. It forces me to rely on and trust the only Constant. I appreciate the present for what it is and trust that the future will fall into place while at the same time trying to make careful decisions. I'm scared and sad to leave Kenya this year, I can't lie. Some day I'll share a bit more about this, but for now know that it is a struggle of mine.
Two highlights I'd like to share:
I found a church in Nairobi that I like (something I struggled with last semester)and I am attending a friend's wedding this weekend!
I have a few prayer requests:
1) My friend Mary has a serious eye problem and we are trying to find a place that accepts her insurance and will give her the best and needed treatment.
2) Pray that I make the right choices for the next five or six months and regarding my return home.
The photos above were taken at my friends house in Nairobi. They had a mango tree with so many mangoes that the branch broke from the weight. Mangoes are selling for about 10 cents! yum.
so how are the mangoes there compared to the ones in Mexico??? eh??
