To Live.

Its late here now. But only to kenyans. Its about 9pm which for most americans is right past second dinner time or an hour or so before a quick cookout run. Ben's already asleep, he fell asleep with his shoes on and no mosquito net. Instead of playing the mom role and tucking him in, ill wait about an hour then accidentally play some music loud enough to break his second REM cycle and save him from malaria, and foot fungus.
The last day at the resort Ben and i found ourselves sitting on the edge of one of the nearby resorts talking about our future plans and just what God has been doing in our lives. After talking through a boatload of scenarios we came to the conclusion that nothing would be cooler than being locked in a prison for serving the Lord. Who does that? Not saying i wanted to go harass an officer till i was thrown in jail but just that not very many people we are around are blessed enough to be actually persecuted and beaten for what they believe. I also think that its easier to know that your faith is alive if it has to bleed to stay that way. I guess im just excited to see that we have come to the point of following God so blindly that if it means the worst for us we would be ok with that. Of course when the true trial comes im sure i will regret even thinking that jail time in a foreign country would be cool, but by then ill be over my head in serving the Lord and the pain will only fuel my Love for serving God.
Tomorrow we will travel up the nearby hills/mtns to the tribes and stay there for a few days it should be interesting. Looking forward to telling you about it. Thanks for Thinking of us and your prayers. Now im going to go wake up ben.
Night.
