Sometimes, I just want Africa.

because africa was just so straightforward

i knew what i was there for. God sent me. He used me.

i went. i helped feed hungry kids. i held orphaned babies. i passed out candy and stickers and taught bible stories.

 i was making an impact. i was loving. and praying.

it was just straight up

Christ.

it's all so confusing and complicated here.

with me and God and school and people and friends and wanting a husband
and moving out and finding church and sifting through psychology lectures

and searching for discernment and tolerating vulgarity and questioning what tolerance really is and how much of it i'm really supposed to have

and trying to love

and give

and be the change

and show people Christ

and stay close to Christ

and find my mission field and my purpose

sometimes....like right now........i just. want. africa.

where it rains everyday. and the children chase you down each street.

it might not make any sense since you've not been there.

but i left a piece of my heart in africa.
