Home Again – Debra’s Beginning Reflections
As one who remembers returning home from Kenya in 2007 with a profound sense of shock and sadness and quite a bit of guilt at “re-entry” into a life of comfort and luxury, I want to report that God so blessed us this time with a healthy sense of accomplishment in knowing that we truly did His bidding and made a difference. Work was done, lives were touched physically and spiritually, and prayers were answered a thousand fold. It feels great to be home but I am already looking forward to returning next year and am full of ideas of what might come next.
The several time shifts that we went through during our 27 hour journey home made it a little difficult to sleep through the night, so I began a list of all the little things that I want to share with you all to fill in the gaps of the story. I will write more as the week unfolds and we will begin to upload some pictures to give you all the visuals that words cannot accurately portray.
Thank you all for your steadfast prayers and good wishes.
I cannot wait for the additional stories and the photos. They will be a blessing to all of us.
I have gone back and added pictures to each day’s posting so that you can see the images that go along with the stories. I have also added new posts for the missing days. Keep checking back as we all fill in the various parts of the journey! Bwana asifiwe!
