I lived in Kijabe at Rift Valley Academy while I was in Kenya. I know of all the places you mentioned. So thankful that God is leading Isaac and Esther in so many ways! Praying for them and everyone they come in contact with! What a blessing you had to serve along side them!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484600885467322790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977436767838189459.post-42114745972485716412012-08-11T11:14:09.669-05:002012-08-11T11:14:09.669-05:00Lauren this is lovely!

Ironic, really.<br /><br />Also, your, "there’s so much need ...unless we anchor our hearts in the goodness and sovereignty of God." PERFECT! Yes! I'm writing that down to remember.<br /><br />Thank you for the transparency! God has used to minister in my life and you didn't even know it.<br /><br />HeatherHeather K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03410278332544790673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977436767838189459.post-89133936303416967712012-07-30T21:57:22.533-05:002012-07-30T21:57:22.533-05:00I absolutely cannot wait to read your coming posts...I absolutely cannot wait to read your coming posts.

If you can would you please ask Isaac about a young man named Samuel at the IDP camp? We had the most awesome experience with him, prayed over him and he said he was going to start attending their church groups on Wednesdays but I haven't heard if Isaac and Joseph are holding him accountable to that. It was just such an incredible part of our trip that I can't get him out of my mind. There was also a lady named Lucy. If you remember to ask about her as well. Their are so many hurting people there and God really opened up all of our eyes while we were there last month! Praying for you all of you to grow closer to God and be able to bless those you cross paths with there and not to miss a moment God has for you! It sounds like you have already had an incredible start!

Very excited for you, and also excited to hear your album! I've had "already, not yet" heavy on my heart the past couple days, and I was thinking about what a song centered on that would be like. Thought about writing one. Then read your track listing and CAN'T WAIT to hear "Already But Not Yet!"

I pray this time will be like dancing with Jesus, a soft sway back and forth, so gentle and intimate; and yet a crazy dance party in celebration of what He is bringing forth--words and melodies that will break chains of bondage and bring life because He has given you life. His banner over you is Love. Rest in that :)Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17894617001539436585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977436767838189459.post-79261499958693064372012-06-26T21:38:11.342-05:002012-06-26T21:38:11.342-05:00Thank you sharing your heart.
