I'm amazed at how much God loves me

Well my family leaves tonight. i'm not sure how i feel yet. It has been wonderful to have them here with me in Kenya these past two weeks. I am so happy that they were able to see what i see, experience some of what i experience and meet the people that i know and hang out with here at PAC. I think that it was such an awesome experience for them to get - definitley an eye-opener. It also makes it a whole lot easier when i'm trying to explain situations or things going on here, because they will have more of an idea of what i am talking about. so it's pretty cool.
So i'm sad that they're leaving, because it will be over 8 more months until i see them again, but i am so happy that they came. My feelings are kind-of mixed. I know that they had a wonderful experience here, and i'm sure they will never forget it. i feel so blessed it's crazy! who am i that God loves me so much, that he gives me an opportunity like the one i have been given? WHo am i that God loves me so much that he makes it possible for my family to come visit me in Africa? WHo am I that GOd allows me to meet the people that i have met here and experience the things i have here? it's just insane. I don't deserve any of it. i mess up so much, but God still blesses me like crazy. It just amazes me. God's love and his blessing is SO BIG. All i can do is thank him, for everything, all the time. God is so good, and what's even better is that he's not just good in general, he's good to me personally.
