Not what I thought, but it’s good!

I’m loving this season in Kenya, though it is nothing like I thought it would be, and it is full of hard, but good lessons. I am learning that though seasons may not look anything like what we think they are going to, God knew exactly what it would look like and brought us intoContinueContinue reading “Not what I thought, but it’s good!”
