It’s hard to know what to write every few days that will help you to stay connected with us. So today I thought I would just share how I am feeling right this very minute.
We have just finished two very long weeks of work and we have another very busy week ahead of us. I have to admit I knew this course would be hard, but last week I hit that proverbial wall where you feel like you just can’t do it anymore. And then by the end of the week, I think I climbed the wall and got over it. Now even though I am tired, I am confident I can keep going, I will make it! Only one more month. This course has been one of the best things I have ever done in life, but I think it may be the hardest thing so far too.
This weekend I watched the movie Blood Diamond. My spirit churned within me seeing the desperate need that Africa is in. After the movie was done I couldn’t rest in my spirit until I took sometime to pray for this continent. What a mess we humans have made of our world (myself included). What mercy God has had with us. It is not often that Hollywood comes out with something that makes me think about the message all week, but I’m glad they did this time. I am even more inspired for the work we will do in Africa. If you can handle violence it is a good movie to reveal the corruption of governments and rebels in Africa, how big business and greed influence the continent, and how child soldiers are made.
Thanks for taking the time to read a little glimpse into my heart and mind today. I’m off to bed!
