Our wedding day: all is gift | Justine Hayes
https://justineholguin.wordpress.com/2012/06/01/our-wedding-day-all-is-gift-2
Our wedding day: all is gift. The day I would daydream about as I twisted apple stems to each letter of alphabet wondering what the name of my future husband would be. The day that I thought might not never come, as many a teenage girl wonders, “God, are you calling me to be single? 8221; As I met Ryan, it was the day that I released over and over again, trusting the Lord (some days more than others) with timing, peace and assurance that this was His doing. Though the wedding was in California, family fr...

You are fat! | Justine Hayes
https://justineholguin.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/you-are-fat
A photo that we didn’t take – but that shows a bit of our favorite food – Ethiopian. It’s a compliment, I know it was. You wouldn’t think it is, I’m sure. This time back to Kenya, I knew it was coming. “Thank you! 8221; I said, hardly missing a Kenyan beat. Still puzzled inside, at whether or not her words held weight. It’s a different culture, and my perspective is not the most prevalent. It’s a different worldview, and I embrace my lack of understanding and control. Kenya’s welcomed me home throu...

Hannah’s Brother | Justine Hayes
https://justineholguin.wordpress.com/2012/10/16/hannahs-brother
I really enjoy telling stories. I remember the day that Sophie first showed me an update from International Justice Mission. “This,” she said, “is what you need to write.” It’s been a few years and I’ve found myself in Kenya, writing a different story. It can sound like a very foreign word. When the nature of the work here is continuing. Tasks for the day? The past two weeks have been full of challenges. Part of the fluid movement of transformation. We expect the challenges because of the good th...I cou...

Meeting Faith and Something New | Justine Hayes
https://justineholguin.wordpress.com/2012/09/05/meeting-faith-and-something-new
Meeting Faith and Something New. The floor was immaculate by comparison, and lined with a thick patterned plastic design, similar to wallpaper or drawer liner. Blue flowers dotted the ground, and met lace fabric that covered the stack of belongings in the corner. In front of me, a waist high cabinet held pots, pans and other items necessary for daily work and life. A juxtaposition of sorts, in this room of a house, 6 feet deep, and 9 feet wide, rented for 2000 shillings a month. After school she runs up ...

Waiting | Justine Hayes
https://justineholguin.wordpress.com/2012/12/16/waiting
5 professors and 45 dental students attend to patients in the Pangani church hall at Missions of Hope. Photo credit: Ryan Barnett. There are many ways to wait. The type of waiting can be determined by what we are waiting for. Last week, 16 mobile dental units were set up in the church hall, and the gates were opened. We began with the students, but word soon got out. There was a dental clinic in town, and even with a team of 50 – the line did not seem to reduce. Many families like them continued to wait,...
