Psalm 27:14
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Wiping her face...
Tina and I with the kids from the Waterloo Bush area. They knew their ABC's and giggled when I sang the last part of it, "Now I know my ABC's..."
A home
Look LUKE!!!!
Matilda
The amazing woman with HIV/AIDS & Tuberculosis
Two girls walking to school. It is normal for the children to walk 7 miles each way to school and then have to walk 2 miles each way at lunch to get water from a well. They have such strong spirits! Education is key!
Not all of the work is hard! :)
Difficult to make out but this is people washing in the garbage infested river...this is not Kroo Bay...just non-slum life in Freetown!
Its amazing what they can do and the joy they can have with barely anything at all!
ReplyDeleteI have read all the blogs and have seen all the pictures so far and I am just amazed at it all! Hope things stay safe for you all!
i keep looking at the picture of the 2 girls walking to school and think of how strong they must be not only physically but within their spirit, the determination, the drive, the willingness and dedication to put one foot in front of the other each day for a 14+ mile journey.. I cant help but think that not only are they growing in knowledge but their growing into these strong, bold, willed women who I pray will be able to share their lives and gifts with the world someday... wow, love love love that pic!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW... so good to see your face.
ReplyDeleteI keep looking at the photo of Matilda and think wow look at that smile... look at that... and despite her condition... despite the pain, the worry of her children... she smiles like that.
Amazing and so convicting... i love you. And i can't wait to go love on Kobe, Luke and Faithy on Saturday! Praying for you xoxo
