I love flying. Think about how many millions of people
underneath you that you can’t even see, the rolling hills of Europe, the dry
savannahs of Africa, the seas teaming with life. The map of highways amongst
the groves of trees, the turquoise shallows in the middle of the cobalt ocean.
God created all of that. I am in awe of His creativity. He looked at the world
and thought, “not all of it has to be the same.” And he created a vibrant,
ever-changing planet.
As I look back on my time in Kenya, I am overwhelmed by the
sheer magnitude of God’s power. Seriously, we serve an awesome creator.
He looked at each person as he created them and thought,
“they don’t all need to be the same.” So he created quiet Rehema, mischievous
Steve, and crazy Beatrice. He created artistic Onesmus, silly Teresia, and shy
Zippy.
No day at MITS was the same. Every day was filled with new
adventures, new opportunities to learn and serve. They were filled with laughs,
intern family dinners, hours of playing with babies, and so much love. They
were filled with the Holy Spirit, who made himself evident in the mundane and
the extraordinary. I have been forever changed by the humbling experiences I
had at Made in the Streets.
“He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from
the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of
honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD's; on them he has set the
world.”
- 1 Samuel 2:8
