6 more hours

hey all(mom)-
it's 3:21am in london, and i'm lookin at about 3 more hours until it's time for me to pack up and head to the airport. my dad is snoring unimaginably loud. he can't seriously be this ridiculous. i keep looking back to see if he's playing a joke on me. but it looks like god's playing a joke on me.
today we went to see liverpool vs. west ham. it was awesome. liverpool won 2-1, the crowd was absolutely nuts, and it was seriously one of the coolest things i've ever done. i absolutely loved it. if only tyler could have been there too.
so now i'm completely focused on kenya. more and more god is quieting my fears. anxiety and doubt about my ability to be of any help are slowly giving way to trust. slowly. tonight god has really been calming me by reminding me of his reliability. it's so cool to serve a god who isn't moody. it would just suck to worship a god that suffers from human weakness. it's so amazing to know that god will sustain me, because that is his character. that he will be faithful, because he is a loving god. that he will be strong in my weakness, because that is his nature. i love it. i couldn't have it any other way. pray for dave shields- he's coming to pick me up from the airport. pray that he's safe on the way there (the roads are a bit dangerous). pray that everything goes smoothly for me getting into kenya. thanks for all your prayers. keep em coming.

love you guys

hey all-
i've successfully made it across the pond to london. i'll be here for a couple days with my brother and my dad before i head to kenya. there isn't too much to report just yet, but seriously with every minute i get more and more excited about being at ROHI. i'm getting really pumped to be a small part of god's big plan for those kids, and through them---kenya, africa, and the world. pray that god continues to teach me what it means to really love, expecting nothing back. pray for the kids, that they can continue to cling to jesus (i guess if you really wanna pray that for me, you can too). thanks for all your prayers, keep em coming.

love you guys,

ps. so ROHI participated in national and regional standardized testing this past november for the first time, and the only scores they've gotten back are for grades 1-4 i believe, and out of 30+ public and private schools in their region, ROHI scored best. number 1. in like every category. and these are kids who have literally come from the streets. praise god for his power to heal and redeem! seriously how cool is that. i love it.

pps. ucla lost to stanford? what? i leave for five minutes and the world goes crazy.
