i like evening conversations with my mama. i am overjoyed when she overflows with joy. a few nights ago i asked her about her strong faith. after thinking on it some time she settled on an answer: she pulled out her Bible and her big owl spectacles and we read together pslams that reassure her of God's goodness and faithfulness: psalm 139 and 121. two of my most treasured passages of scripture!
i like it when the children say my name. i wish that my idealistic plan to share the noise makers i received from biola land with them would have been less chaotic...after much squawking, joy and anguish amongst the kiddies that came out of the woodwork like cockroaches...i had to take them away...and how i love them...and ache for them...wishing i could communicate...wishing that Christ may somehow be evident in this white package of me.
i like visiting organizations that are doing great things! I am encouraged by action. We visited the only HIV/AIDS specific hospital in all of africa. we visited the invisible children bracelet campaign. i was able to help with some low-key bandaging at CHERUB this morning (what joy it is to wear gloves...what heart wrenching sound when a child cries in pain).
i like beautiful friends. i enjoy big white smiles and soft chocolate-y eyes. i like shaking by booty kiganda style.
i like how cats are overrated...how if there is a mouse in the cupboard...one must simply spook it out and smack it down...poor mickey...what laughter resonated throughout the house!
i like unexpected answers to prayer....guess what...i'm going to be an RA upon venturing back to california (adventure #52458)...sweet!! Mukama Yebazibwe!
i like field trips...even if homework is deferred. headed to luwero this weekend...stay tuned....
