I know its been quite a while since my last post, but well, not too much has been happening. I've had a lot of ups and downs in the past month, more than I care to remember honestly. But I came across this speech/quote yesterday and it helped me out a bit.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly;
who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort
without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the
deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends
himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph
of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails
while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold
and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."-Theodore Roosevelt
With that, I promise to update more soon, and even though my weeks have been rough, certain things can really brighten up your day. I had the privilege of helping escort two more healthy babies into the world today. The maternity ward and maternal and child health clinic hold some of my favorite moments so far in Kenya. And yes, there is yet another Lindsey that will be running around the Chebukaka area when she grows up =)
