Quiet Mornings

Good morning from Kenya!

“Whenever the sounds of the world die out in the soul, or sink low, then we hear these whisperings of God. He is always whispering to us, only we do not always hear because of the noise, hurry, and distraction which life causes as it rushes on.  –Frederick William Faber

Today is a slow morning in the Brittney House. We are anxiously awaiting the team and getting every last bit of silence in. I have learned to love the quiet mornings, because that is where Christ is. He dwells there to speak to his sinful children. To direct and lead them, and ultimately love them. I see Christ here, in every experience. In the messy, noisy, play days with the kids, and also in the still silence of the night when the power goes out.  Kenya you have left footprints on my heart.

I will be back here. Whether its short term or long term… how could I not? This is where my spirit thrives, this is what my heart longs for. This is what the Lord created me to do. It is my favorite place in the world.

Prayers for next week as we start the eye surgery team. We will be very busy and work long nights, but in the mean time I get to love on the people of Migori in the best way I know how… through health care.

“You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” –Psalm 16:11
