My hair hurts just seeing your rows! Thanks for posting so many pictures, as it draws us nearer to you while you are so far away. Our Lord is surely pleased with your service and wants to do a great deal within you, as well as through you during your season in Africa. We in NC are asking DAD to bless you "really big!" and to prove Himself to you (in new ways) to be all sufficient and loving. 143!

Mmhmm, my favorite - I suppose sadly - is of the chickens. Suckers. So, in the African translation of the Bible, do they put "like lambs to the slaughter" as "like chickens to the boiler"?? Muah haha.
Hokay. Mature time.
The realization that there's water hasn't sunk in yet, but the idea is riveting of God's grace and willingness to answer prayers. I was reading in Matthew this morning how Christ spoke that, if the birds and animals have places to lay their heads, and flowers have clothing, then how much more does He care about men? I suppose "how much" is not able to be measured, or to be captured with words.
