For whatever reason, I haven’t been reading Shannon’s posts while she has been in Uganda. Not because I didn’t want to, I just hadn’t taken the time yet what with all I’ve had going on.
But I have now, and let me say, if you haven’t, it’s worth it.
To get a glimpse, a teeny tiny glimpse of what God is showing her,.. it’s unimaginable and so touching. As I read her words, I smiled with her, and I cried with her. Mostly, I cried. I have never been on a mission trip. Never ever. I’ve never even been out of the country. But that’s a story for another day.
For now, you go read about Shannon’s trip, and I’m going to go give my children a very, very big hug.
Yeah, me too. Except I don’t wear any mascara… Certainly made me think a LOT more about the trip I’m making to Mexico in May where the situation is better than that of Africa but a far cry from the life we live here… We’re going to adopt a child. How could you not after reading her stories?
