Questions

Now the questions are popping into my mind for tomorrow’s meeting.  All these things I keep thinking of and I wonder if everyone else had the same thought.  But for right now, I’m writing down all my questions.  If we discuss it, great, I’ll cross it off my list.  If we don’t discuss, then I’ll ask.

I’m now starting to think of what will happen at work while I’m out of the office for 19 days (we return on Saturday and then Monday is a holiday).  Who knows what I’ll have to take care of when I return.  I hope not much.  I’m sure that first day back to work will take a lot of adjusting.

One thing I checked was the sunrise and set times for Kenya.  I didn’t even think about it being on the equator.  I’m used to summers of the sun up at 6 am and down at 9 pm.  The times for Nairobi are around 6:30 am sunrise and 6:30 pm sunset.  That’s a lot less sunlight for supper than I’m used to in the summer.  Well, I think I’ll be able to adjust.  We were told to take a flashlight with us and now I understand why.

Thirteen days left before thirteen Nebraskans fly out to Nairobi, Kenya.  Thirteen days until our lives are changed forever.  I know I’ve said that before, but it bears repeating.  None of us will come home the same we were when we left.  And I am truly thankful for that.  I hope that this trip deeply affects me.  I would feel terrible about who I am as a person if it did not.  So may I be open to all God wishes to show me.  May we all be open to the wonders that shall be before us during this trip.
