Every time I get on I am torn about whether to write about what the Lord is teaching me and doing around and in me or about all the fun and unusual things I am experiencing. But I know the two aren't mutually exclusive.

One of the girls on my teAm here, Gabi, has a track meet the weekend she gets home so I've been jogging with her some here. Usually we jog around the guest house parking lot but Thursday on the way home traffic was bad so four of us decided to get put and jog the last mile or two back to the guest house rather than waiting and running when we got back. Needless to say four mzungu girls attracted a lot of attention jogging through downtown Nairobi during rush hour!

Gabi and I have had some wonderful conversations during our jogging time. (It's a bit of a miracle in itself that God gives me enough breath to talk while I run with her!) Gabi is 16 and God has gifted her with a strong passion for His Truth that excites me! One day as we ran we discussed God's will. We may all be able to agree that there is nothing we can do to deserve God's grace, but When 'disaster' strikes a person's life or someone dies young we tend to say we don't understand because that person was always so good or always helping others or maybe just that they'd done nothing to deserve death. But it can not be both. Either you deserve death or you deserve life. Everyone who is sinful deserves death. God's word tells us ALL are corrupt and if we have never said it aloud we have said in our hearts and lived as if 'there is no God.' (Psalm 14:1-3) Praise God for showing me that because now I know my deepest desire is not fulfillment of my personal aspirations but truly 'I say to the Lord, 'You are my Lord; I have no good apart from You.'... You make me know the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy.' (psalm 16:2,11)

I'm living in psalm 16 these days. Please pray that psalm for me!
