#08 JHHH Kaijiado County, Kenya Print

From my April 2020 hand painted watercolor collection, 31 Days of Mini Paintings.  Each of these 4”x4” pieces were inspired by my favorite places I have visited around the world, they each hold very special meaning for me and my loved ones.  As I painted, beautiful memories rushed in my heart of the laughter, joy, hugs, meaningful conversations, and breathtaking views that were inspired by our Creator.  I hope a spark of inspiration springs forth in you as you enjoy your own piece of our blue jewel earth.

My childhood friend started an orphanage and school in Kenya, named in honor of her late husband, “Jesus. Hobbs House of Hope”. He used to say, “It’s Jesus, period”. When she invited me to come with her the appropriate response was YES!!! When she invited me the second time...YES!!! This is her favorite tree, an acacia behind the dorms where she would sit and read and pray...it became my favorite too. I learned some things when I was there, mostly from the children. Personal space is not a thing, my hair is worthy of lots of braids, you can have everything while having nothing, the bread comes from heaven, showers are weird from a bucket and the water heater thing shocks you when you’re wet, it’s better to close your eyes when on the highway, coffee is ahhh-mazing, innocence is possible, mosquito nets are so cool to sleep under, it sucks to come home, swimming in your clothes is more fun, clothes hung on a line smell like divine life, and Carol the house mom could belt out “No other Name” in worship 🎶 that would bring you to your knees. I cried a lot when I left, it’s also the appropriate response when your soul finds peace and rest. I have a little boy I love there named John Kamau, I miss him terribly, please keep him and the children in your prayers, they’re the light of Kenya’s 🇰🇪 future.
