A quick and
uneventful day today as we spent the afternoon "home" at SACDEP to
finish spreadsheets and crunch data into graphs and meaningful information.
The team headed to
Joytown in the morning like normal for devotionals, which were led by Nicole
and I. We focused on 2 Corinthians 12:6-10 and each shared on the idea of
Christ's (God's) power being made perfect in our weakness. Nicole expressed how
focusing on self iniquities goes nowhere but that serving others brings joy and
growth. I shared the Parable of the Cracked Pot which basically expresses the
idea that we do not need to be perfect to fulfill God's will and serve others.
In fact, God uses our specific weaknesses/cracks for good. We really are all
crack pots… :)
The rest of the
morning we double checked student demographic information with the Bethany Kids
therapists then headed back to SACDEP for a home-base day of working on
spreadsheets and stuff.
Other events from
the "uneventful" day:
- Really good team prayer meeting where we shared a praise about things that made us happy and specific relationships to pray for.
- Stuffy nose and sore throat still lingering but feeling better
- Prepping power point for pres to high school on Thursday (tomorrow)
- Realization that our often quoted Swahili phrase "Ni poa ku chill", which we thought was a super cool 'way to say "I'm cool" or "I'm doing good", is actually and abstinence tag line that contextually means "It's cool to wait". Good thing we haven't been spouting the phrase all over Kenya… oh wait, we have...
