Say YES

I suppose some people reading this would never get how cool my life is or what pleasure I take in helping people get together.  I know it’s not about me, I’m just the conduit for the spirit to pass through me. But sometimes, it is so much fun that I just have to shout out loud.

As you all know, 3 intrepid board members are over in Kenya as I write this blog. Despite my dotage, I am on facebook frequently. I noticed that one of the original Peacekeepers from years back was working in Kisi (not far from where we are working). K is a remarkable young woman, who of course, was destined to meet me. She and I get that. Her destiny as a pediatrician working in Africa was clear to us from the moment we met. She even took a year off from medical school to work in Rwanda. Yesterday I saw her post that she was in Kisumu. And today I was able to catch her on facebook, say hi, and introduce her to our board members. Hopefully tomorrow they will all be swimming at the Kiboko Club and will go on Safari together.

K will also be of great help to Monica and KMET and of course it will be reciprocal. All these amazing people, so very far away are right here with me in my heart. They travel under God’s grace and plan. I’ve never understood why I get to do the things I do but for all of those who understand that there is a plan for all of us, try not to doubt it. If the opportunity opens up, say yes.. It is 9 years ago that I said yes to my first madcap adventure in Ethiopia. That simple yes has enriched my life, grown my soul and made me an infinitely gentler person that I was.What a difference yes can make.

And my prayer tonight is that all of you who read this know and accept that you are part of this magical plan. And I will pray you say YES.
