knowing.

i recently heard a sermon on philippians 1:9
("and it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment")

as mentioned in this verse, i want my knowledge to flow from my Love.

we can have knowledge but not know.

if we don't do what we have knowledge of then we don't know.

I see that Paul is telling us here that our prayer should be that our love may abound from knowledge which is really knowing.

i want this trip to Kenya, every interaction, conversation, the experience as a whole to take my knowledge and turn it into knowing. knowing what it is like to be in His kingdom. to be His hands and feet. to love these children unconditionally.
i want knowledge that leads to particular actions that leads to love in the world. the type explained in phil 1:9.

and that is my attempt at putting into words my current prayer for my time in kenya.
which, oh that's right, begins in 1 month.

may the Peace of God be yours today,
sus

(p.s. just so we're all tracking: some things i KNOW already= "excited" doesn't fully contain my current thoughts on this trip. its too understated. i am countingdownthedayscantreallythinkofanythingelseexcited.)
