God's Grace is Amazing

I've been sitting here on my couch this morning, just me and my coffee, thinking back on the meeting we had last night for the Kenya trip.  The closer and the deeper we get into it the more amazed I am at what God is doing.  I love to think about how God is already preparing the hearts of the people in Kenya.  
And as I looked at the pictures Shara showed us on her computer last night I know that God is also preparing my heart because I can feel myself falling in love with these people already.  I am honored and humbled that God has chosen to allow me and Michael to be a part of His work.  What have we done to deserve this????  Nothing at all...He just loves us that much!  
The blessings we receive when we are obedient to His call (no matter what it is) are amazing.  I wonder how many of His blessings I've robbed myself of because I either wasn't listening and didn't hear Him or just flat out refused to "step out" and follow Him because of fear or anything else?  I'm so thankful for His Grace and that He gives us second chances.  I can't wait to watch the rest of this unfold. I can't wait to see what He's going to do in the hearts of the people of Kenya and our own while we are there!
