Over the last couple weeks I've been on an emotional roller coaster! I love Kenya; I love working at CCP; I have made many friends and successfully established a life over here. But now, out of the blue, I need your prayers. Ps Chocolate wouldn't hurt either :). Tuesday, February 06, 2007. Seriously, Who Does This? I miss the beach.

I MEAN. WHAT? Be warned. These are my personal and candid thoughts, pictures and stories. Friday, January 19, 2007. What I Learned in South Africa. It's always better to be picked up from the airport than to take a taxi. Governments change more quickly than people's hearts. Racism can be taught in school. Always place your purse by your feet in the car lest someone smash your window and take it :(. Friendships are best made during meals. Belts are in fashion again (but I still hate them). Why, why, why?

I MEAN. WHAT? Be warned. These are my personal and candid thoughts, pictures and stories. Monday, March 26, 2007. In direct reflection of my spirit today, it's raining. However, today the rain seems to make me think about the storms in my life. Just as rain on the window distorts the view of life outside and as a single cloud can make the whole sky seem grey, why is it that we can't see past the pain in our hearts? We ask, where is God when it really hurts? I remember a video I once saw by Rob Bell.

I MEAN. WHAT? Be warned. These are my personal and candid thoughts, pictures and stories. Wednesday, May 23, 2007. What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so.". The most remarkable (and very true) point that he made was about the glaciers that are melting and some are completely disappearing. This particularly stuck out to me for two reasons. I don't know about you but I'm sure going to try to do my part to fight global warming. Recycle, drive a...

I MEAN. WHAT? Be warned. These are my personal and candid thoughts, pictures and stories. Thursday, June 14, 2007. A Whole New World. In this last month before I leave Kenya, I have been traveling around a bit to see the much more rural side of the country. So I went to visit my fellow American missionary friends in "the bush."

http://marisainkenya.blogspot.com/2007/05/oh-my-goodness.html

I MEAN. WHAT? Be warned. These are my personal and candid thoughts, pictures and stories. Monday, May 28, 2007. Ooooooo. Aaaaaa. What the heck? Being in Kenya, I've had to learn and adjust to a new culture, cuisine, currency and language. I expected that. One thing that I didn't expect (or even realize) was that I would also pick up the words that have no translation: expressions. I actually think with new expressions in my head. For example, when I see something strange or shocking I say, "Hiyah!
