beautiful feet...oh, how they can dance!
singing is with every coming and going
more beautiful feet
me and my girls...one of my fav. moments
Scovia - is a girl I met at the festival we had. I sat with her and some other
girls on the grass for hours...just laughing and talking. They cackled when I tried to pronounce words in their language. I couldn't help but to laugh at myself as well. But there just seemed something special about Scovia, we connected. She was very shy, but had a big smile for me. :)
my delicious omelet and coffee...enjoyed almost every morning
typical morning...pineapple, omelet, coffee, and journaling :)
It was always a great time to look back over the last days events, memories and reminisce.
I wanted to be sure to journal everything, so I wouldn't forget...and so that someday my children would have something tangible of mine, that shows my love for Africa, my obedience to God, and my experience along the way.
Africa...is now a piece of me. A piece of my heart, my everyday thoughts. I have wanted to write about my trip for so long, but when I put my pen to paper...I am at a loss of what to write- where to start...I feel like no matter what I write, I can never express the depth of meaning it has for me. Its like trying to put into words something large, and beautiful, deep, and so amazing...but when you try you are dumbfounded with words...because there are none to describe it. SO i thought I would just try it this way...by sharing some memories and thoughts a little at a time. :)
How I long to go to Africa, or back to Asia... it's been so long. You NEED to share at church! I know it's been awhile,but everyone would love to hear about it and it won't happen if you don't approach steve. he doesn't always think of those things on his own :) But it is very much wanted!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I so miss dancing in African style worship. I hope to hear more about your time there. Are you going to plan another trip?
ReplyDeleteI would go back tomorrow if I could! I will definitely go back, but I am not sure when. If not this year, then next year for sure! It is an amazing place...and just like you described Amanda..."those connected strings of our heart didn't break, they stretch over oceans and continents, strained but fully intact." Perfectly said.
ReplyDeleteWow, what splendid pictures, friend! I'm excited about your baby steps...:) Before you know it, you'll have a book! (Hey...)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your heart, lady. Can't wait for more!
