I’m too shot to come up with a better title. This will have to do.
a cross.
Speaking of Tayte, i’ve been teaching her how to play the theme song to “monk” on her keyboard while you’ve been gone. she picks it up so quickly. bryanne is playing it, too. but Bry wants to be a drummer some day. You know that, too. Speaking of Bry ---- i found a letter she had written to her imaginary boyfriend joe today. at first she said I couldn’t read it but then a couple of hours later --- she let me. Here it is:
I’m really starting to like him. At first I was a little hesitant when she told me about him. But he’s starting to grow on me. He really is a nice guy. You should give him a chance. He’s Christian. Respectful. A Star Wars fan. An anthropologist. Archeologist. And all around cool explorer. She picked a winner. (he’s cute, too.)
other than that - not much new today. I saw the Legacy kids yesterday. they stopped by for a bit. they looked so wonderful and content. i still can’t get over god and why he’s allowed me to experience so much peace in knowing him. being here and experiencing him here is like a dream come true that i never was even smart enough to know to dream. i would have never picked africa. or missions. or having my husband travel so much. but through it, god has shown me what an awesome, real, powerful, cool, fun, merciful and amazing god he is. even when i still can’t sleep. or get irritated sometimes at dirt, oppression, corruption, loneliness chaos, power outages - whatever, i wouldn’t trade a moment of the pain because through it . . . i have seen god. his heart. his love for the poor. his love for me. his defending of the oppressed. his faithfulness.
