Take my moments and my days...: Day 73

All day there has been a song replaying over and over again in my head, and one line sticks out to me so much: "Tell the world that Jesus lives; tell the world that he died for them, tell the world that he lives again". So many times I walk away from a conversation or an opportunity where I later think "I could have shared the gospel right there", but for some reason I didn't. Isn't that what this is all about? We are called to go out into the world and be disciples of all nations - isn't that why I came here?

Me, E, & K <3

Telling the world doesn't just mean saying I'm a Christian either. Almost anyone can talk the talk, but walking the walk is the hard part. You can tell the world that Jesus lives, but maybe even more powerful is showing the world that Jesus lives in you, that Jesus lives in me! So many people that I meet here, especially the children, have contagious smiles and enormous giggles despite any challenges they might face. I want Christ to be my reason to smile, and I want my passion for him to be contagious too. I am nothing without Him, after all. I want people to know that, I want people to see that. Forget about age difference, forget about language barriers, forget about the excuses. I am here in Africa, here on Earth, for one reason - to serve my Maker. I owe it all to Him.

Our favorite chipsi restaurant:) If you want take away, you order through the holes in the wall!

Me & J eating chips mayai! It looks gross, but it is absolutely delicious!

Making corn flake squares for the Boona Baana kids

Last Sunday, we made a schedule for the entire week and now that it is just about over, I feel like we have accomplished so much! We have spent lots of time at Boona Baana, and we went to KidzCare twice. I wish every week was like this! We even got a beach day in ;) J, J, K, and me are always stuck doing things together because we have the same schedules, all working at Boona Baana. You'd think that we would be sick of each other by now, but it works! We're like sisters. I am going to miss them so much!
