Off to my first day!

Off the plane and ready to hit the road!

Off the plane and ready to hit the road!

Well, I am filled with about 4 hours of sleep, and the alarm is already blaring. Time to get up and get ready for the day. Lots of emotions are already filling me and I haven’t gotten to the thick of it yet. I arrived so late last night so everything was closed down. Now today, it’s time to work and play with some local kids. I can already hear them outside of where I am staying - sining and playing. Amazing! 

 

Again, thank you all for your prayers and support and well wishes both through email and on Facebook. If you have a Facebook page want to follow the journey there, you can at - http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=58432844536&ref=mf Would love to have you stop by and say hello. 

I am going to work to do a few posts today as time permits while I am out in the field. So stay tuned to this site for more updates and photos. Read the rest of this entry »

The getaway.

January 15th, 2009

When I decided to go, I felt that it would be good for me on a multitude of levels. Like I have said on my posts. I wanted to do something larger than life. I wanted to experience something that would impact my life in a great way.

I also knew that it would give me a major appreciation for what I have and to those around me.

I haven’t even been gone a full day yet, and I can already see things clearer. It’s amazing what a little distraction from the typical day will do for you. I have to do this more often. Ok…. Maybe not to the extreme of Africa, but getting away and taking time to clear your head and mind is very important.

I knew that this trip would help me do this. I’m a creative guy with a ton of passion and even more drive. I’m on the airplan right now typing this and reflecting about all that I have to be thankful for.

God is Good!

January 15th, 2009

So I am getting on to my next flight leaving England going to Nairobi and I received a pleasant surprise. I was upgraded to world class with a much bigger seat and foot rests and of reclines wayyyy back.

Very cool to have this happen. Excited about the trip and what I’m about to experience here in about 10 hours.

Thank you all for your support and prayers.
