Floridian lungs are not used to the 5,000ft above sea level here in Nairobi, especially while hiking. We traveled to The Rift Valley and hiked Mt. Longonot today! Down inside the volcanic crater of Longonot there are luscious trees, and steam vents that seep through the rock. God is incredible. It causes you to feel so microscopic when you just stop, and look what is around you. At one point, that volcano erupted with such a force, that the top blew off. Can you imagine seeing that? Everywhere I stepped today, was at one point covered in molten lava. As we reached the top, we were greeted by a miniature chameleon! Absolutely made the entire hike completely worth it. Because this little creature brought us so much joy, we decided to carry him down the mountain, take him on an hour long car ride all the way to home, just so we could enjoy him a little bit longer. Hearing the stories of The Rift Valley, and seeing multiple pictures from my atlas back in the US, created the hope and desire that I would one day see it. God is good. God is faithful, and today He allowed that hope and prayer to come true.
