Today is the one year anniversary of the day I boarded a 747 on the way to Kenya. In blogs to come I will explain some of the things I learned in Kenya, but for today let’s just recap for a moment:
Flew to Africa
Spent a month in one of the largest slums in the world: Kibera
Spent a month in a small village in Kenya called, “Eburu”
Came home to Auburn
Interviewed for post-college jobs
Worked at Chick-fil-a making sandwiches
Worked at Wal-Mart DC as a slave to the Man
Purchased an engagement ring
Went to school for two full semesters
Set a date to be married
Proposed and became engaged
Went through pre-marital counseling
Did some wedding planning
Canceled the wedding date
Became a first-time buyer of a new vehicle
Started a pseudo-photography business
Put on a photography exhibit at Auburn City Fest
Graduated college with a double major
Re-enrolled in Auburn as an Engineering student
Broke up with my fiancé
Got sued for a traffic incident in Canada that happened three years ago
Started a Painting business desperately trying to pay for school
Decided to blog about my life.
Damn.
But, today, I realized something. If the sequence of events that have unfolded over the past year did nothing but work to highlight some of my weaknesses and give me a huge dose of humility, then praise the Lord. He is Faithful. I couldn't be more grateful for what He has taught me in a year.
