Looking Back

Just over twelve months ago I was here, listening to a tribal elder tell stories, surrounded by the team that I had been living, eating, and working with for almost a year. This week I have been babysitting cousins, sewing clothing for my Etsy site, and helping my sister edit essays for her college applications.

2010 has meant moving from Kenya to Minnesota and then from Minnesota to Washington. It has meant short terms teams and a trip to Dadaab, and it has meant teaching a Sunday School class and driving across the state to a concert with my sister.

Four months in Kenya. Four months in Minnesota. Four months in Washington.

Twelve months of living this crazy kind of life that happens when I follow God where He leads.

I would not trade any moment of it for the world.

(Even sitting and watching my sister eat frozen yogurt because she couldn't find any on the coast.)
