These first few weeks in London have been interesting. I thought Kenya would be the hard leg of this trip. At lease then I was still surrounded by friends and churches.
I've got my cousins here but have not really found a church here at all. My cousins take better care of me than I do myself. They are amazing.
Every natural need of mine is met, I have not much to worry about in that regard.
In any other situation a difference in culture would be cool. But when you're thrown into one at work, the glamour of their accents fades fast. People talk faster than lightning. Most of the time, I can hardly understand what people are saying.
I find myself being the one always asking ... what? huh? ...um what is this reference to Lord lucan or Futbol. Who are they? That wasn't a barier I'd think I'd have to cross.
Sometimes I'd just try to figure it out without asking, those are the times I just completely lose the conversation.
But, none the less,
I'm getting along here.
After being a few weeks removed from Kenya, there are so many things that have already began to spill over from that trip into my life. The one I'd like to hightlight here is the need to expect of God to do something.
When I went to Kenya, I expected God to do so much. By the time I was leaving I realized that he exceeded my expectations, but met me where I needed to meet him.
When I came to London, I didn't expect anything. So when I got here I struggled for a while. But when I began to expect certain things of God, I began to see his work.
In today's society were taught to not expect anything from God because He won't meet expectations. Its tru that many times God doesn't meet us the way we want Him to, he does it in his way.
In Kenya, God showed me that he gave me the ability to cut off the head off a lion.
In London, I'm here to cut off the head of a lion again.
