Today a group of people, some of whom I know and love, are getting on a plane and jetting off to Kenya, Africa. I stuffed my heart in their suitcases as I was wishing I could have stuffed myself in their suitcases! I ache to go with them. I'm so not done in Kenya, Africa. :)
But what I have learned, in Africa and in America, is that the only good that comes out of me and my efforts is when I let Christ and his power and love and mercy direct me. It is amazing that he wants to use people so obviously flawed and fleshy. And yet he wants to infuse us with his power so that great things can happen.
So today's song is for my friends, to remind them that it is Christ's power in them that will be the thing people are drawn to, the thing that changes hearts, the thing that transforms lives. And when we allow God's power to be ours and we operate out of that incredible things happen!

Thanks for the song Beth! So true! And now a piece of my heart is in Kenya and for Kenya! Praise God for his works in Mathare, I am forever changed!
