Waiting

As the days go by I am getting so anxious to get to Africa. I almost can’t stand the wait most days. A feeling of urgency is growing and intensifying as my departure goal approaches. I am hopeful that I will still be able to meet my goal of August. I am eager to walk in the land, meet the community where I will be living, to see life on the streets, to dive into learning Arabic, I day-dream about meeting the women I will be befriending and getting to know, I am eager to meet the children who will laugh at me as I muddle through communication. Dreaming, Imaging, but mostly just waiting! AND Waiting and waiting . . .

The "hood"

day 4 in Mo.
training: bonus/ Pt. 2

The Power of Unity,
I continue to be amazed by the brother and sister "hood" whenever people of like minds gather together, all through history this has been the case. The most amazing human and spiritual revivals have been ignited through the gather of people passionate about a similar goal or drive. Likewise there have been just as many negative effect these "hood" gathering have ignited within human history. There is innately a power that exists in these kinds of gatherings. Just some thoughts tonight.

Remember: Folks this is the time that we have to practice not using those key words that our off limits in all our online interactions :)
