Outside My Own Little World: May 2013
http://jeninkenya.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Outside My Own Little World. Just Who Do You Think You Are? Thoughts on Finding Identity in Christ. Identity in Christ. A lot of us hear this phrase batted around, but how often do we take time to think about what it really means, or if we're applying it to our lives? At all stages of life, we have questions and doubts tied to who we are (or think we are): Why am I here? Why can't I be more like? I'm a bad student. I'm a bad parent. I'm not smart enough. Who will love me? I don't fit in. Why me? If he sa...

Outside My Own Little World: January 2012
http://jeninkenya.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Outside My Own Little World. It has been ages since I last posted, so I thought it was about time I did. It took writing a whole lotta “nothing” to realize what has stood out to me the most in the last month. So I started over. In our churches and Christmas carols, we hear that word pretty often in December. But how often do we truly see it? How often do we truly demonstrate it? And how often do we mistake happiness. Their joy comes from a different source, and with all the other stuff. I know I do.

Outside My Own Little World: Sometimes By Step
http://jeninkenya.blogspot.com/2012/10/sometimes-by-step.html
Outside My Own Little World. The idea of taking life step-by-step seems to be an idea that's come up a lot in the last few weeks, in one way or another. I've lost track of how many people in the last three weeks have asked me what I'm going to do when my 3-year contract is finished here at Rosslyn.in June of 2014. A friend posted a comment about taking life one step at a time as a lesson learned from the book of Joshua. I also DON'T like NOT knowing how things are going to work out, so having to speculat...

Outside My Own Little World. As some of you already saw on facebook, this week I got my official "Republic of Kenya Alien Certificate." See? To some of you that was no surprise, it simply confirmed something you've known for a while. (Insert smiley-winking face here.) Others of you had much fun generating responses such as, "Take me to your leader," "Live long and prosper," "Keep the probes to yourself," and "I come in peace! But when I hear the word alien. Is used to refer to a foreigner, an immigrant, ...

Outside My Own Little World: Multiplied
http://jeninkenya.blogspot.com/2015/03/multiplied.html
Outside My Own Little World. For the past few months, there's been a song that I just can't get enough of- Multiplied. Your love is like radiant diamonds. Bursting inside us we cannot contain. Your love will surely come find us. Like blazing wild fires singing Your name. God of mercy sweet love of mine. I have surrendered to Your design. May this offering stretch across the skies. And these Halleluiahs be multiplied. 8216;May these Hallelujahs be multiplied! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). However ma...

Outside My Own Little World. Amani ya Juu: Praying for Peace in Kenya. I borrowed the title for this post from the name of one of my favorite ministries/shops here in Nairobi because it just seemed fitting. In Swahili, amani ya juu. Means "peace from above." The next few days, weeks, and months have the potential to be rather tentative here in Kenya, and it truly can only be God's peace, a peace from above, that will heal this land and bring people together. Q and A: Kenya's 2013 Elections. In common bon...

Outside My Own Little World. Those who walk by faith usually don't know where they are going, but they do know the One leading them. That will be enough." - Gary Black. My friend Ashley Wingate posted that from Haiti the other day, and it really stood out to me because boy, has that been true for me in the last 18 months! A few years ago I had no idea this is where I'd be today, but God did, and I'm so very thankful for His direction and His faithfulness. Two posts from me in one week? Had a student tell...

Outside My Own Little World: Wrappin' it Up...Round 3?!
http://jeninkenya.blogspot.com/2014/05/wrappin-it-upround-3-part-1.html
Outside My Own Little World. Wrappin' it Up.Round 3? How is it even possible that I have now lived here in Kenya for almost three years? It's pretty hard to believe, and the time has flown. When I first interviewed for my position here at Rosslyn, I was a bit caught off-guard when I was told that the initial commitment was for three years. I was thinking two, and for whatever reason, three years sounded SO much longer than two! Another stat that's hard to believe! For those of you still wondering just wh...
