Since moving to Africa, I have
-received communion served from an old desk drawer.
-stood next to a wall on a street so that a camel with a load of hay can take up the entire road and pass by.
-avoided human poo as I went for a scenic nature walk on the river dike.
-turned down too many marriage proposals to count.
-received a Zarma name.
-walked home from church with a herd of cattle.
-watched people jet ski/water ski on the nastiest river I've ever seen.
-eaten roasted grasshoppers.
-caught a hedgehog.
-checked my bathroom for snakes...often.
-heard some amazing poetry escape the lips of English language learners.
-realized I need to work harder at my relationship with Christ!
-fallen asleep listening to rats and lizard scurry through the attic.
-avoided donkey carts while driving.
-watched myself start to think like a mom...which kinda weirds me out!
-made a wonderful African friend.
-walked within 15 ft of a giraffe.
-been trusted with a glimpse into the hearts and minds of 19 MK's who journal for me in every class.
-wanted to adopt every kid who lives in the local orphanage.
-played softball while a tortoise walks across home-plate.
-most importantly, I've learned to learn to pray.
