It's Not Africa, but. . .: Oh why not?

Oh why not?

I love that the day I want my hair to look nice for a luncheon fundraiser, it is frizzy, flat, and static-y (yes that's a word). This is actually not that different than any other day, but why can't it look nice just once?!

I love that the day I am wearing 'less' clothing (little black dress for fundraiser), I am sweating more than ever. I just returned from the rest room after sticking wads of toilet paper in my armpits to soak up the sweat. . . . . . . . seriously. I did throw them away before leaving the rest room - otherwise that would be gross.

(I am pausing here for you to laugh, gag, find a different blog to read, etc.)

But what I really do love is that today is my Friday, tomorrow I get a whole day with my wonderful husband and tomorrow night I get to drive to Bismarck to see my wonderful friend Christina.

Happy ~~Friday~~ Thursday!

Why It's Not Africa, but. . .

After our family decided to work on the mission field in the USA and more specifically the midwest (where Mark & I grew up and currently live), I decided to journal our story.

I began by writing how God directed our steps into this not so typical mission field and how as a kid I thought if you were a missionary, you went to Africa. I wrote, "It's not Africa, but young people in America are in crisis."

The phrase It's Not Africa, but. . . just stuck in my head and hopefully gets and keeps people's attention for two reasons. First, I hope that people will follow our journey. Secondly (and most importantly), I hope that it will serve as a reminder. A reminder that while we definately need to continue to reach out to other countries, we have a huge need here in the US to share the hope and life that Jesus offers to our family, friends and neighbors.
