So I didn't go to
church today.
I didn't go to a
building where I sang worship and listened to a message for a couple hours.
But I worshiped God
today.
As I floated accross
Lake Naivasha among stoic hippos and dramatically patterned birds. As I stood
in awe among a field of wildebeest, impala, giraffes, and zebras. As I peered
into a den of baby pythons. As I stared around at the rolling green hills and
proud mountains, rich with acacia trees stretching their arms across the bright
blue sky. As I bounced along a dusty, pot-hole-riddled road winding through the
ridges, towns, and small rivers of the valley. As I sat on a house porch eating
pancakes and surrounded by laughter and friends. As I joined in the student-led
worship of a Kenyan boarding high school (RVA), voices from all over the world
lifted together in a moment of praise.
I worshiped by
enjoying God's creation. I worshiped in my conversations and relationships with
people and friends. I worshiped by taking a moment to realize how CRAZY blessed
I am and to soak in my life... thinking on the weirdness of things like the fact that I almost
didn't go to school at LeTourneau, I almost missed the door that led me to the
heart of Kenya and to the love of its landscape and its people.
Tomorrow I take a
step even farther into my future as we go to shadow a pediatric
neurosurgeon (only one of the top in the world…) in his morning rounds at
Kijabe Hospital and then observe surgery.
So I didn't go to
church today, but Oh, I went to church
today. :)
All I'm saying, is
that this place is gonna be pretty hard to leave.
