Humbled.

Yesterday was amazing. We started the day at the Cheshire Home for Women. It is an organization that houses women with mental and physical disabilities, and teaches them to sew. It was unbelievable being able to witness these women learning a valuable trade to carry with them throughout their lives. We were able to hangout with the girls a little bit, and just seeing their faces light up at the sight of compliments and love was truly amazing!




This is a women from The Cheshire home. She is making a blanket that I purchased and will be bringing back to Mississippi!


We also visited a baby centre called Angels. The centre has been open for two years and houses abandoned babies. Because they are not very established their adoption rate is very low. In the past two years they have had one full adoption process and two pending. It was so fun getting to hold and love on all the babies. We stayed for about an hour and our whole team fell in love with the entire experience, even changing diapers! We will definitely be spending some more of our time there.




This is Angelica. She is a baby at centre that stole my heart. She was left on a Matatu (public transportation) when she was one week old. She is now 6 months old and has the best smile and laugh I have ever seen.




The past couple of days have been very eye opening. I have experienced and seen things that have truly given me a new perspective on life. It is amazing how the things that we have and are given, we often take for granted. We always seem to want more and more material things and are never fully satisfied. I have been humbled by the Kenyan people that have nearly nothing and have the most joyful hearts.

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6: 19-21
